Title: The Pack Rating: G Wordcount: 126 Pairing: Team Protector (Kel/Maura) Round: 1/C Summary: Kel's uneasy with the pack. Maura offers advice.
“I can’t get used to you conversing with wolves.”
“Says the woman who also talks to animals.”
“Yes, but — dogs and horses have been domesticated for thousands of years. They’re bred for listening to humans, even if the talking back is new.”
“And sparrows?”
“Sparrows aren’t wild beasts like wolves. They don’t kill humans if things get desperate.”
“Yours do.”
“Maura-”
“Here.”
“What’s this?”
“Jerky. Its time you made friends with the pack.”
“By bribing them? Isn’t that, well, an insult to their intelligence?”
“Kel, they’re canines. What do you think?”
“Oh. Well, if you put it that way.”
“Come on, then. I told them we’d be coming.”
“You what?”
“It’s half past six — we’re late.”

Yay, Nicki! Lovely fic - I love Kel's uncertainty! AND I love the all-dialogue style!

Nicki <3 I'm so glad you got the chance to write - and it's as delightful as I thought it would be. I quite like the parallels of Kel being friends with the domestic animals, with Maura having the wilder friends.
