Title: Matters of the Heart 36
Rating: PG
Word Count: 391
Pairing: Kel/Maura
Fight: 3/B
Summary: Douglass intervenes. Series co-written with lisafer.
My dear Lord Sir Raoul, the most important person I have the pleasure of knowing save for those related to the imperious Duke Gareth,
You might consider not passing messages through Maura's lovesick pup. There are more sensible couriers to be found, such as squirrels, or perhaps mice.
Anyway, my charge bade me write because I am a charming and often overlooked correspondent. She is also languishing in bed with a touch of fever, and I have had to remind her more than once that writing is not synonymous with resting. I suspect her intentions were that I write to your squire (mostly because that is what her instructions were), but she also wants me to be nice, and I cannot do both.
I hear that you are collecting former squires up north in your ballroom-free zone. May I take this opportunity to register my disappointment at having been left out of the list? I realise we were not knight and squire very long, but you should not feel ashamed at having been unable to measure up to my expectations. Overcompensating with an excess of height was not the way to remedy this.
I would appreciate a bit of your wisdom, had you any to impart. My darling Maura, who is far too good for any man or woman, let alone one sullied through association with you, appears to be rather taken with both the lady knight and your current squire. The boy, I can handle. He is no match for me, and shows excellent judgement in being fully aware of it.
Keladry is a different kettle of fish. I have not the slightest idea how to handle her, and though I did my best to befriend her and therefore cut down on the amount of time she would spend alone with Maura (it pained me to lose to her at sword-fighting, so she would be convinced that my pride would demand a rematch or seven), I suspect it has not worked as well as I would like it.
So, my dear Lord Sir Raoul, favourite of all my Raouls, ruler of the most golden of golden lakes, I ask you one small favour. Be a good knightmaster, and a good former knightmaster, and take your miscreants in hand.
Ever your favourite (though I think Buri is beginning to suspect),
