Title: Lost Rating: G
Word Count: 338
Pairing: Aly/Taybur
Round/Fight: 1/D
Summary: Aly comes to Taybur when she loses something important.
She burst into his room in such a frenzy that Taybur had his sword half unsheathed before he realized that she was alone and unarmed. Only after his initial adrenaline faded, somewhat, did he notice that she was crying.
“I’ve lost him!” she said, staring at him wide-eyed, her hands on either side of her face.
“Who?”
“Junim and Ochobai are with Nawat and I thought it would be okay to let Ulasu play in the corridor as I finished some reports and then I went out to get him and he was gone.”
“Did you look in the other offices...” Taybur asked as he threw on a jacket and led Aly out into the corridor.
“Yes! And I used my Sight and I asked the darkings and nothing. Oh, gods, I’ve lost my baby.”
“Hey. It’s okay. We’ll find him. I’m going to go get Quedanga to send servants up to this wing and you get your pack and we’ll find him.” He steadied her, holding onto her shoulders until she was calm. Then she was running up the corridor as he walked quickly towards the servant’s wing for reinforcements.
It was Eyun who finally found the toddler, curled up under a pile of blankets in a small storage room. He had crawled under the desks stacked at the front of the room to play in the extra sheets, and became soothed by the heat of the room and the comfort of his little nest.
Aly clutched him to her chest and kissed his forehead while he blinked around at the group of adults surrounding him sleepily.
With pats on the head for the boy and comfort for Aly, the servants and spies filtered away into the palace.
“Thank you, Taybur,” Aly said when it was just them left in the corridor. Standing on tip-toe, she kissed his cheek gently over the head of her son. “I knew I could count on you.”
Taybur watched as she walked back towards the nursery with her son in her arms.
