Title: The Price Rating: PG Word Count: 147 Pairing: Gary/Raoul – Team Moustache Curtains Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: Just prayed to a God that I don’t believe in. Gary ends up in the infirmary when Raoul comes in. Breakeven part 2, post- Lioness Rampant.
His ears ring in the silence, so starkly different from the Hall of Crowns, and Gary lets the endless noise fill his head.
The only other sound keeping him company in the room is his father’s slow breathing, but its regular now.
The door swings open, and the people on the other side fumble. The man on the stretcher makes no noise.
Gary draws a sharp breath.
“Raoul,” he groans, but his friend doesn’t respond. The sheets beneath Gary’s finger crinkle and twist, and Gary doesn’t even realize that the dry sound suddenly escaping into the room is a sob, and a sob coming from him at that.
Duke Baird looks up, sees Gary’s pale face, and his expression gentles a little.
“Its only a broken leg,” he reassures, and Gary nodded, swallowing hard. A broken leg for the price of a kingdom isn’t an unfair trade.
