Title: Smiling Eyes Rating: PG Word Count: 38 Summary: Shinko meets an outsider at the Yamani court. Notes: Written for mistrali’s prompt “Outsider.” Thanks to @mistali for the inspiration. Smiling Eyes “I’m Keladry of Mindelan,” said the outsider who was the only girl close to her age who had looked at Shinko with smiling eyes that invited friendship since Shinko came to court after her parents died in disgrace.

Poor Shinko. I like the way you highlight how she and Kel are kindred spirits, of a sort.

mistrali Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I enjoyed writing Shinko and Kel's first interaction and showing how they are kindred spirits in the sense of both being outsiders at the Yamani court. And my heart did break for poor Shinko being treated as an outcast because of who her parents were. Her childhood at court definitely wasn't easy but it shaped her into the resilient woman she became.
