Title: Hope Rating: PG Length: 125 words Competitor: Buriam Tourakom Round/Fight: 1/E Summary: Kel hopes some of what she's heard is true.
They never spoke of matters of the heart. Their friendship was based on what they did, rarely on how they felt. But even so, rumors found their way to Kel's ears. If the whispers were to be believed, Buri's lovers had included a horsemistress, a laundress, Riders female and male, and – long ago – the queen.
Kel absorbed the rumors, guessing at least some of them were true. She collated what she heard with the touch of Buri's hand, the tilt of her eyebrow, the way her gaze sometimes seemed to linger until she realized what she was doing.
As a squire, Kel didn't have time for matters of the heart. That didn't stop her from hoping. She counted down the time until she would earn her shield.

Ooh, Miri/Buri would be awesome. That just popped into my head. And I love the hint at Buri/Onua, and Buri/Thayet. It's so funny how Kel's so sensible and doesn't have time for matters of the heart as a squire, but then she's counting down the time until she's a knight. So cute! I can't wait until she's a knight either.
