Title: Matters of the Heart, 13 From Alan to Maura: 7 Rating: G Word Count: 236 Pairing: Kel/Maura Fight: 3/B Summary: Alan talks to Maura of fief management, and Kel’s help compared to his. Series co-written with Rosie.
Maura,
Ah, how I miss our sunny days under the apple tree! Harvest time always brings such a delightful feel to the world – it makes me wish for hot apple cider and the smell of burning leaves. It also makes me long for home as much as I long for time to spend with you. I’m hoping that the harvest has not been difficult, with so many men called to the army patrols. Not that I don’t think the women of Dunlath can’t manage on their own, mind you. I’ve always found them quite capable – especially when it comes to managing land. I’m crushed that you considered me of no help to you when it comes to fief management. Or that you consider Keladry more helpful. I’ve been told (in the form of a reprimand from my knight-master) that her mathematical skills are a touch better than mine, but most of my assistance was in keeping life light-hearted and whimsical – to ease all burdens the lady of the house might have. Which I think is ultimately more important.
Please be sure to tell me all about your glaive lessons. I would love to know what it’s like to spar with a woman like her. Of course, I’d prefer swords – but I might have an unfair advantage, having been taught by my mother.
I hope this letter sees you in the best of health and spirits.
Alan.

This makes me feel oddly nostalgic for fictional Dunlath - sigh.

As opposed to real-world Dunlath? *arches eyebrows* I wish I could draw what I see in my head.
