While reading please remember that these are not my characters except the ones that I add in. All of the other's belong to Tamara Pierce's imagination and stories.
Domitan of Masbolle stood up in the watchtower looking for a rider group. He walked around the tower stopping now and then to look out onto the road, hoping to see horses. Yukimi, know as Yuki and Nealan of Queenscove's fiancé was constantly coming up to the tower to see if Dom had spotted any sign of horses in the distant.
Dom was looking for a rider group who was coming from New Hope. In this rider group was Keladry of Mindelan, the second Lady Knight in the kingdom of Tortall, who was also known as Kel, Nealan of Queenscove( Neal), Tobeis Boon(Tobe), and some soldiers to make sure the group got here safely.
Dom continued to walk around the room. He realized that his patience was starting to thin which hardly ever happened. His thoughts then drifted to Kel. He wondered how she was because he hadn't seen her since he had helped her rescue her refugee's back from Blayce. Dom's hand played with the spyglass as his thoughts drifted some involving Kel others, well most involved Kel. Minutes passed and Dom realized that all he could think about was Kel, what was with him, he thought? Do I have a crush on Kel? No of course not!
Dom pushed the thought away. He couldn't have a crush on Kel, could he? He picked up the spyglass and looked through it hoping the thoughts would vanish from his mind. He scanned the land hoping to see something. He was about to put down the spyglass when he saw movement along the path leading to Steadfast. He put the spyglass up to his eye and looked again, there on the path was a group of riders. The lead rider carried a white flag, signaling that they were friends and the rider behind him carried a flag, with a double boarder of cream and blue and in it's center was a gray owl and cream glaives boarded in gold. Dom recognized it as Kel's insignia, he looked at the riders behind the flag bearers and there was Kel riding beside Neal and behind her was Tobe.
Dom blew the horn signaling that they were approaching and to open the gates. Dom looked down into the courtyard and saw Yuki running out to wait for Neal to enter. Dom put down the spyglass and hoped that they next man on duty for watch would come soon, because without admitting to himself Dom wanted to see Kel more then ever.
