Title: Matters of the Heart, 35 From Alan to Maura: 17 Rating: G Word Count: 238 Pairing: Kel/Maura Fight: 3/B Summary: Alan’s inferiority complex continues, now brought on by Daine. Series co-written with Rosie.
Maura,
I have seen the best dancing instructor in the land fail to teach my cousin how to not tromp on toes, so forgive me for merely suspecting that you wouldn’t do the same. I’m not much of a wagering man, but I’d put my inheritance on the line if I were betting that you were a better dancer than Princess Lianne. Whether that’s faith in you or a very harsh, critical opinion of her is yet to be determined.
Funny that you should mention challenging Kel to archery, for we had a little match just the other night, while your letter was en route. It wasn’t much fun, as neither of us won. The Wildmage was visiting, and she made us look like altogether horrid. We nursed our wounded pride together (though not in the classic way of most soldiers, as neither of us drink much), and actually found ourselves bonding over our squirely doom with Uncle Raoul. She has amusing stories, I can at least admit.
Challenging her to see who Dunlath misses more is low on my list of priorities; I worry that would hate to hear the details of exactly why she is missed, and if she feels the way I do, she would squirm to hear mine.
Raoul asks that Douglass take care to send the news to Grandda. I have no idea what he’s talking about, but I hope Douglass does.
Alan.

You write these letters so well that the scenes take place in my mind - their bonding over being bested by Daine feels so very natural.
