Title: Matters of the Heart, 15 From Alan to Maura: 8 Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 200 Pairing: Kel/Maura Fight: 3/B Summary: Alan considers Kel’s glaive lessons. Series co-written with Rosie.
Dearest Maura,
Your casual jests strike me to the core! While I certainly live to amuse you, it’s not intended to be like a queen and her jester. You know that while I’m more than accustomed to being mocked and ridiculed by others (Thom, Aly, Raoul) I find sanctuary in the fact that you don’t think me a fool. But perhaps I’ve been wrong all this time.
I confess that when you said you hesitated to share everything about your glaive lessons with Lady Knight Keladry, my mind drifted to places that both intrigued me and made me quake with fear. Forgive me for being so forward as to mention it. Knowing that Douglass laughed to watch was a relief and a comfort, as I think – no, I know – that there are certain things a person can practice with you that does not lead to laughter from him.
The nights are cold, and I’m finding that war – even the aftershocks of a war that is drawing to its eventual close – is a lonely place for a fellow. Who thought one could feel so abandoned when surrounded by comrades-in-arms? This war is making me drearily philosophical.
Missing you and yours, Alan

Poor, jealous Alan - this makes me want to give him a big squeeze.
