Title: First Date (4) Rating: PG Wordcount: 131 Pairing: Team Protector (Kel/Maura) Round: 1/C Summary: Kel understands Maura's point of view.
“I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this,” Kel said, when they’d eaten most of the food Maura had brought, and then spent a good two hours talking. “But please, don’t let me take up your entire day. You must have things to attend to. I know how much work goes into running a fief.”
Maura tilted her head, considering. Then she laughed. “I suppose you do.”
“And that’s amusing?”
“Oh, yes. I’m an heiress, you know — and that means every dinner companion and suitor and potential match put before me is a younger son who doesn’t know, and usually doesn’t care, how much dedication it takes. But you-”
“I’m different?” Kel guessed.
Maura bit her lip. “You could say that.”

I love this, and the understanding/empathy from their different experiences.
