Title: Matters of the Heart From Alan to Maura: 2 Rating: G Word Count: 234 Pairing: Kel/Maura Fight: 3/B Summary: Alan worries that Maura has forgotten him in favor of someone else. Co-written with Rosie.
Maura,
I’m utterly heart-broken that you could ever forget who I am. Do our jaunts through the orchard mean nothing to you? Or my amazing ability to keep Douglass on his toes? Obviously I must keep writing to you and let all of Pirate’s Swoop be hanged. Not that my family’s in the Swoop. Mother’s on the border, Da’s in Port Caynn on business, Aly’s… well, we shouldn’t talk too much about what she’s been up to, so I hear. And Thom is at the Royal University, trying to convince battle mages to look to other pursuits. It’s appalling, really. Mother would be so disappointed, were he not already her favorite child.
I’m pleased to hear that Lady Knight Keladry has been a breath of fresh air in your presence. Fresh implies “new and different”, and not “wonderful in its own right in comparison to all the air I’ve breathed before”, and I think I can handle that. Perhaps. Having met my mother, though, I’m surprised you would bother to meet any other knights – let alone knights who are ladies. Luckily we do not all have such sharp tongues and stubborn ways.
As for my penchant for rumors and your suggestion that I take up cards… rumor has it I’m a very poor card player. But then, I played against Da and Aly, who probably used their Sights to cheat.
Missing you tremendously, Alan

Ohhh, poor, dear boy.
I like your Maura. She is fiendishly clever, and good at playing "the game". We so rarely get to see those kinds of characters!
Also - Alan is adorable.

Alan is such a delightful sap <3 (does this version still like romance novels?)

Thanks, Meg - though Rosie gets all the credit for Maura.
(Rosie - I hadn't thought of that... I suspect he might.)
