Title: A Mire of Legal Language
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Summary: Lady has an unusual Midwinter present for Tobe.
A Mire of Legal Language
For Midwinter, Lady presented Tobe with a scroll. Struggling to hide his disappointment--Lady’s gifts were usually better than this--Tobe obediently unfurled the parchment as Lady ordered, “Read it.”
He wouldn’t have been able to read at all without her lessons, her insistence no boy of hers would be ignorant, he thought, stumbling through a mire of legal language that twisted his tongue in knots. “I, Keladry of Mindelan, hereby adopt the lad previously known as Tobeis Boon- henceforth to be known as Tobeis of Mindelan--as my own son with all the attendant rights and responsibilities pertaining a per to.”

What a beautiful start to 100W weeks! I love Tobe and his relationship with Kel doesn't get enough focus in fic. Found family ALWAYS.

Thank you so much for commenting, Tamari! I'm so flattered that you found this to be a beautiful start to the 100 word week. I think Tobe in general doesn't get enough attention in fic, and that his relationship with Kel is wonderful but doesn't get much focus in fanfic like you say, so it was nice to be able to explore their relationship and the family they find in each other. Tobe really is Kel's little boy, and it is awesome to be able to celebrate that.
