Titles: Fingertips Rating: PG-13 Length: 212 Competitor: Lalasa Round/Fight: 1/F Summary: Pricked fingers hurt like a bitch.
Sometimes Kel swore, and it would earn her frightened looks from her maid. “I’m sorry!” she insisted. “Spend all your time with boys and it rubs off on you.” Lalasa shrugged and her mouth turned downward momentarily. “Let’s hope it’s the only thing.” Kel frowned at the implication, but ignored it. “How do you do all this sewing without pricking your fingertips? Every time I attempt it, I end up with the kind of stabs that healers can’t be bothered to fix – and it hurts like anything when I’m in training.” “You should leave the sewing to me, my lady,” Lalasa said with a small smile. When they parted, two years later, Lalasa pressed something small into Kel’s hand: a thimble. It was impossible to use the thing without thinking of the pretty and shy seamstress. And Kel found that she liked that sense of home, even when she was on the other side of Tortall. Lalasa, on the other hand, found that she liked girls who swore like boys. When Kel came home they greeted one another with shy smiles and hesitant touches, until the day when Lalasa pulled her into a back room and discovered all the other things that had to do with fingers that could make Kel swear.

I was grinning like an idiot at the end of this. It made me very happy!
ETA: I just saw your summary and died laughing. A little bit. It's so true.

^___^ I should've dedicated this one to you. I don't think I would've written Lalasa/Kel without reading your fics first!
