Title: Matters of the Heart, 29 From Alan to Maura: 14 Rating: G Word Count: 226 Pairing: Kel/Maura Fight: 3/B Summary: Alan addresses his newest rival. Series co-written with Rosie.
Maura,
I would challenge this knave of a kitten who has captured your heart, but I’m afraid I’m no match for his claws or bite. I will maintain my practice against hurrocks and spidrens, so I can best learn how to hold my own against these beasts with natural weapons. I’m afraid that there’s nothing I can fight that might meet your new love’s natural charm. Tried sparring with Jump, but to no avail. He’s ruthless, and doesn’t have a kitten’s cuddliness.
Kel is a remarkable jouster. My bottom is sore just thinking about it. I’m not surprised to hear that Lord Wyldon speaks highly of her ability, for I have seen what no person would’ve ever suspected. Our noble and bald district commander was here a week past, sharing recently gathered intelligence, and he and Kel titled “for a lark”. (the thought makes me shudder.) After doing so, he suggested she joust against Uncle Raoul. Neither were thrown from the saddle, of course, but Lord Wyldon said that had it been a tournament, he would’ve given the win to Kel. I’m awestruck. And you know that I’m rarely that impressed.
Since then I’ve been sure to rub the salt into uncle’s wounds. Perhaps it will make Douglass like me more?
All the best, Alan.
P.S. please scratch your new suitor under the chin for me.

Oh, this made me giggle. Lovely to have a light-hearted letter amidst the love and war! I also adore his attempts to win Douglass over.
