Title: Cowardice [2] Rating: PG Word Count: 235 Pairing: Kel/Maura Round/Fight: 1/C Summary: Kel attempts to escape.
Lord Raoul had been unimpressed, and most unsympathetic, sending her on her way rather unceremoniously.
“The Own are not a toy, Kel...” and at her arched brow he grinned infectiously. “Well, at least not your toy.”
“Your mother should have taught you to share,” she muttered, and his grin turned impish.
“Yes, one of her many failings in making me a true man.”
“Would we call you a man, m’lord?”
He drew himself up, pretending to dignity. “I’ll have you know I am a fully grown Knight-Commander of...”
“Squadrons of children?” He glowered at her polite attentiveness.
“Request denied, heathen! Begone!”
He pointed an imperious finger, and she bowed her way out with a quiet, “Of course, Knight-Commander. Right away, Knight-Commander.”
“You’ll have to face her sooner or later, Kel!” The voice was firm, but not unkind. She straightened slowly, and met his look wearily. “Oh, please. Don’t get Yamani with me now, Lady Knight. I traveled with you long enough to know when you’re smitten.”
She remained still, watching him. He paused for a moment, face thoughtful, then shrugged. “I don’t disapprove, but I won’t pretend to understand... That being said, you might call upon my wife, if time permitted. She might have more to say than I.”
There were no words really, to express Kel’s feelings and so she merely bowed, deeply and sincerely.

They have such a wonderful relationship, and I love how you depict it here!

Wonderful Kel/Raoul loveliness! I adore how he is both teasing and fatherly, and I love how she depends so much on his good opinion.

I'm flailing all over the place about this one, between Kel's crush on Maura, the Kel/Raoul interaction which you write so well, and Raoul sending her to Buri for advice. It's like the best of several worlds.
