Title: Someone I Rating: PG Length: 200 words Competitor: Buriam Tourakom Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: Kel tells Cleon the truth.
“Let's sit,” Kel suggested. There was a moon in the sky and she and Cleon had been walking in the palace gardens.
“Here?” he asked, one hand at her waist and the other pointing at a stone bench.
“Sure.” They arranged themselves, but when Cleon leaned in to kiss her, Kel drew away. “Cleon,” she began, “I don't know how to say this.”
“How to say what?” he asked, eyes worried.
“This... this thing we have, it has to stop.” She tried to keep her voice neutral – he'd been her friend, before, and she hoped to salvage the friendship, at least. “I'm sorry, but it's not right for me.”
He swollowed, hard, drawing into himself. “Is there someone else?”
“Yes,” she replied, honestly. Buri, with her coppery skin and a quick, sometimes sardonic, smile. Dark braids, dark playful eyes. Stocky build that still, somehow, seemed delicate beside Kel. Wisdom and good advice in any situation. “Nothing's happened, but there is someone I...” She fumbled for the right word. It wasn't love, not yet. But it wasn't like that was a problem. “Someone I want more,” she finished, in a whisper.

Yeah, I don't know why I decided to break up with him this time, instead of just ignoring him like I have every other round...
