Title: Pedigree Rating: G Word Count: 113 Pairing: Maura/Kel Fight: 3/B Summary: People put too much weight on these things…
“You have less jewelry than I would expect for the cousin of the king.”
“Distant cousin.”
“Yes, we’ve gone over that. But you have less jewelry than my mother, and Mindelan is—”
“A relatively new fief. Never mind that your mother is from an older one.”
“Only by two generations; they’re still from the Book of Copper.”
“And Dunlath is Gold… is that what you’re hinting at?”
“You say it doesn’t mean anything to you, but it means something to every noble.”
“Kel, my family has had this land for a long time, but it doesn’t change who I am, or what Dunlath is.”
“Or who we are?”
“Or who we are.”

I like that it feels like Maura really doesn't care - though I do wonder why she doesn't have much jewellery, given she's sitting on a whole host of opals. Got rid of Yolane's?

Hee. I made a point to not specify how much "less than" is. Ilane might just have a penchant for shiny things! (in all honesty, I just imagine that Maura's personal collection is small because she can't be bothered, and she doesn't keep Yolane's among her things.)
