Title: Kind of Friends Rating: PG Length: About 175 words Competitor: Sabine of Macayhill Round/Fight: 1/G Summary: Now that she's a squire, Kel has to make a choice.
“So you're the one leaving Corus.” Sabine wouldn't look at Kel.
“We knew this would happen. I'm glad you have a place in the city, but as a squire, there's nothing for me here.”
Sabine just sipped her ale, silently.
“Sabine?” Kel reached for her friend's free hand. “Please--”
“And stop doing that!” Sabine yanked her hand away, tucking it into her lap. “You don't mean anything by it.”
Kel gripped her own mug. “Who says I don't?”
“We're friends, Kel. The kind of friends who are about to go their separate ways. Not the kind of friends who hold hands in a honeylove tavern in the lower city.”
Sabine was giving her that 'older and wiser' look, positive she knew something Kel didn't yet understand. Kel knew it was childish, but it always made her want to prove Sabine wrong.
“Maybe we're both.” Before her friend could reply, Kel leaned across the table and kissed her.

Wow, you're on a fanfictional posting spree at the moment, I'm loving it! I think the interactions in here are very real, and I love that there's a hopeful sort of ending.

Day off = MASSIVE FIC! I'm glad this one reads as hopeful. This is the turning point, where it changes from friendship to romance. Come to think of it, I should have called this one The Pink Pearl I.5.
