Title: Nice Rating: PG Wordcount: 199 Pairing: Team Protector (Kel/Maura) Round: 1/C Summary: Kel comes home to New Hope, and Neal asks questions.
“Well? How was Dunlath?” Neal asked, as soon as Kel had dismounted with the others and sent the men on their way.
“It was nice,” she answered quickly, not looking at him. “And how’s New Hope? Did you break it?”
“No, Mother,” he grumbled. “I wanted to, but Tobe interfered.”
Kel grinned. “Did he, now?”
“He’s in cahoots with your horse.”
“I have several horses. Which one, please?”
Neal raked his hair out of his eyes. “Peachblossom, naturally. Who is it, Kel?”
She blinked. “Who’s what?”
“Who is it that you’re avoiding mentioning?”
She laughed — or tried to. “What are you talking about?”
He put his hands on his hips, fixing her with a half-serious glare. “Who did you spend your time with in Dunlath?”
Kel gave in. “With Maura,” she said, and started the walk to headquarters.
After a stunned moment, Neal followed her. “The duchess?” he squealed. “Kel.”
She struggled to maintain a straight face for a moment, and then gave up and grinned. “Yes. It was wonderful, she’s wonderful, and Dunlath is wonderful. But now I’m here, and she’s still there, so please can we talk about something else?”
