Title: Matters of the Heart From Alan to Maura: 1 Rating: G Word Count: 246 Pairing: Kel/Maura Fight: 3/B Summary: Alan writes to Maura about rumors… co-written with Rosie. ♥
My dear friend,
I know it’s been far too long since last I wrote to you, but I find that my knight-master keeps me far too busy to maintain correspondence. Thank the gods I see my mother on occasion, when we’re involved in the Scanran skirmishes along the border. My family would think I cease to exist, given how seldom I communicate with them.
I wish I could say this were an idle note to tell you how much I miss you (which is true) and how I long to be in Dunlath again (also a fact), and that I wish all were pleasant in your home – but I suspect that is already the case. Rumors have flitted around among the border knights… rumors that have left me feeling a little depressed, were I to be completely honest (as I know you like me to be). So I feel I should ask outright: is there reason for me to wish to return to Dunlath, or has my place been filled by another of Sir Raoul’s squires? I know Lady Knight Keladry was stationed near Dunlath only two months back, but I also know how quickly you come to the realization that you’re in love.
If these rumors are false, please forgive my doubt. If they’re true, please confirm them. I’d rather pine for you knowing it can never be than return to you and find out I was mistaken all this time.
Yours, as ever, Alan.

I love that Alan is so direct here, and that he writes as soon as he thinks things might have changed between them - poor boy

He's such a combination of insecure and bold. Maura could have a lot of fun messing with him...
