Title: Smoky Recluse Rating: PG Word Count: 198 Pairing: Kaddar Iliniat/Kalasin of Conté Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Kaddar and Kalasin talk about Daine. Warning: N/A A/N: I finally squeezed this in during a hectic week of school. It's probably a bit rushed, but I wanted to write something.
-
"So… can you tell me about Daine?" Kally asked, arm threaded through Kaddar's. "I acquainted her when I was younger, you know, but some context prior to a ferocious demolishing would be good." She laughed, though her eyes focused on his disturbed face.
Kaddar smiled slightly at her and Kally was pleased to see that he wasn't distracted. "She was fifteen," he said in his tenor, brown eyes faintly cold. Kally hoped, knew, it wasn't meant for her. That distant, measured, critical voice. "She loved hyenas. I thought she was going to be a barbarian. She didn't let me eat antelope. She was very… independent, and upright." He still managed to sound articulate, even with his uncharacteristic disjointing of sentences. His brown eyes were somber as he looked into Kally's, the clear blue of a fighter, playful and heavy-lidded, all-knowing. His gaze warmed and confused her, and it reflected back to his own shining face. "She was then; she was insane, she was chaotic. But you are beautiful in your own right, a warrior with both feet on the ground, and I love you." He took her hand, and they continued down the by-way through the waterfall.

I like your description of Daine through Kaddar's eyes, because it's very true-- for all that we know her as a protagonist, he has a very different perspective.

I really appreciate the fact that Kaddar remembers Daine as just a girl, but the fact she's anything but is what really sticks with him.
