Title: Giving Up Rating: PG Word Count: 204 Pairing: Kalasin/Wyldon Fight: 1/C Summary: Kalasin gives up her dream; Wyldon is impressed. A series where Wyldon and Kalasin struggle with the idea of duty.
A smart rap on the door makes Wyldon look up from his papers. “Come in,” he calls.
The door opens to reveal a nine year old girl. “Lord Wyldon,” she says, and curtsies, just the right amout for a princess to a lord.
Wyldon stands. “Your highness, what can I do for you?”
“I’ve come to hand in my resignation papers, sir,” says Kalasin, her eyes stony.
“You mean to say you no longer wish to train as a knight?”
“No,” Kalasin says shortly. “I mean- no, sir. Their majesties believe that I can better serve the realm by making a diplomatic marriage then I can by training for knighthood, sir. I am a princess of Tortall; I will do what is required of me.”
Wyldon looks at the girl with a sharp look in his eyes. “You’re giving up your dream?”
“Yes, sir.”
They eye each other for a moment; the young princess who is sacrificing her dream for her country and the old man who has made so many of those sacrifices already. “Good day, your highness,” Wyldon finally says, bowing her out.
Kalasin hands him the papers, quickly turning away so he can’t see the tears in her eyes. “Good day, sir.”
