Title: Blessings (3)
Rating: PG
Word Count: 367 words
Pairing: Team Girl Power
Round/Fight: 1/B
Summary: In a cycle of blessings, Thayet gives hers to Raoul.
Raoul stiffens slightly as he notices the Queen’s approach, waving the men away quickly with a flutter of his hands. Thayet notices, covering her mouth to hide her laughter, but her face quickly becomes stern as she stops next to him.
“Don’t look so nervous.” She scolds, and he swallows, offering a bland smile. “You’ve known this was coming for years.” She grabs his arm and tugs, and he follows her until they reach a relatively quiet area of the outskirts of the campsite. She turns suddenly and prods him hard in the chest, a determined scowl on her face.
“Don’t lay a hand against her. If you drink” She holds a finger to his protest. “If you drink, she knows about it. Dally around with another woman –“
“Thayet!” He cries, indignant. She only holds up her finger, and he acquiesces.
“Dally around with another woman, or break her heart, you will be answering to me, and I am not above putting my love for Buri above my love for Tortall.”
“Jon would forbid you from doing any trial by combat.”
“That wouldn’t stop me. I’m a woman. We’re inventive in revenge. Look. You’re my friend, and I love you, and I love that you have found happiness after fifteen years of acting not much better than a coward in love. But Buri is my best friend. She’s the most important person in the world to me. She comes first, and I owe my life and more to her. She is my family, and I love her as though we are of the same blood. So know this. I will disregard my friendship with you, no matter how many times you have also played a part in saving my life or the lives of those important to me, if you hurt her.” She takes a deep breath, glaring intently at him. “Don’t hurt her.”
“I won’t. You know I won’t.”
“I know. But the point still needed to be made.” She shrugs and turns to walk away, before turning back and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before walking away.
“You have my blessing too, lazy.” She calls back, and he grins in reply.
