Title: Flirtation (1) Rating: PG Wordcount: 180 Pairing: Team Protector (Kel/Maura) Round: 1/C Summary: Delight, during a break from wartime duties.
“It’s a delight to share my home with you, however briefly,” Maura said.
“I bet you say that to all the knights.”
Maura chuckled. “I promise you that I don’t. Six rounds of knights and soldiers on leave, and you, Lady Knight, are the first one who has delighted me.”
Kel’s heart thumped in her chest, but she tried to keep her face blank as she studied her hostess. Dunlath was one of a few fiefs judged to be far enough from the border for safety, yet close enough to minimize the time soldiers must spend traveling. When her two-week leave came through, she had only thought of Dunlath as “not Stone Mountain,” and silently blessed Lord Wyldon for assigning her there. But after two days at the castle — barely time enough to sleep off the worst of her fatigue — she was utterly captivated by Lady Maura.
“The delight is mutual,” Kel replied, honestly.
Maura’s smile seemed to light up the whole room. It only seemed fair for Kel to go ahead and smile right back.

I love how real Kel's reaction is to Maura's sentence. (unintentional Wyldon-as-matchmaker FTW!)
