Title: Gossip Rating: G Word Count: 166 Pairing: Crane/Rosethorn Round/Fight: 1/F Summary: Lark won't listen to gossip on something this important, so she asks herself.
Lark has always been observant. She notices discrepancies before anyone else: her mother's coughing fits, the lawmen filtering through the crowds watching her troupe tumble, Rosethorn's thoughtful stare when she watches Crane pass.
Lark doesn't subscribe to gossip; it hurt her far too much. If she had taken gossip to mind when she first came, she would have left Winding Circle by now, in tears, as the novices looked down their noses. She wouldn't have met Rosethorn.
That's why, when she sees the way Rosethorn and Crane take long paths to avoid each other, she waits in the Earth Temple dormitories for her friend to return. She asks. "Did you love him?"
Rosethorn stops, stares, and finally, with the honesty she shows her closest friend, answers, "Yes." She doesn't volunteer any more.
With that answer in mind, what Lark doesn't have to ask is if Rosethorn still does.
She finds that she can accept that part of Rosethorn, if Rosethorn ever catches onto what Lark feels.

A great look at Lark's character and the things she noticed were really great. Good job.
