Title: Holding Out Rating: G Word count: 146 Pairing: Maura/Kel Fight: 1C Summary: His approval means the most to her
“Huntsong likes her.”
“He’s a golden eagle, and knows that she travels with an entourage of animals.”
“Iakoju likes her, too.”
“She just likes having someone almost as tall as her, so she doesn’t stand out.”
“Yes, the aqua-colored skin is easily ignored when the lady knight dresses in shades of blue or green.” She pursed her lips, unamused. “Short Snout likes her, too.”
Douglass snorted. “Did she have rations when she last visited?”
“Why are you holding out on giving your opinion?” she asked testily. “I’ve told you how much I respect her, how much I like her, and you remain more tight-lipped than ever. Do you think I’ll no longer need you just because I want Kel here? Just because I’ve fallen in love—”
“That’s what I was holding out for,” he said, his smile wide as he swept Maura into a bear-hug.

You depict their relationship so beautifully. It's so awesome that he gives bear-hugs, and that Kel fits into their slightly bizarre assortment.

I kind of love that he makes her say it, too.

*blush* Thank you so much!
Me, too. I imagine that Douglass wants to hear it as well as see it. To be certain.
