Title: Awkward Invitations Rating: G Word Count: 206 words Pairing: Kel/Maura Round/Fight: 1/C Summary: Maura sends an awkward invitation. #1 of the Heartstrings series by Wordy and I
Dear Keladry,
I trust this letter will find you well.
My health has improved since I last wrote. The sickness has subsided, though garlic still makes me queasy. I never noticed how much of it Cook put in her food until I asked her to stop – I think she’s struggling to find alternatives, because her food has been terribly bland since. The baby is well too - I can feel her (or him) kick all the time now. It’s a wondrous thing.
I have been supervising the servants while they clear out my study and have moved to a guest room down the hall. Lerant and Douglass agree that it would make a perfect nursery, and it does have the best view of all the rooms.
If you are still north come winter, perhaps you could visit Dunlath? We will only be having a small Midwinter celebration, but it would be lovely to spend it among those I love.
Regards,
Maura
Maura put down her quill, reviewing the letter. It had been three months since she had last written to Kel and the entire letter felt… awkward.
With a sigh, she folder it and reached for an envelope. Perhaps this time, she would get a reply.

The last line is also sad, but - Maura/Lerant? Hmm. Interesting.
