WELCOME to my new story…O DEAR GOD!! I know… Well I'm trying to write again and this will be a collection of stories revolving around all of Tamora's characters including Tortall and Circle of Magic.
These drabbles are around 250 words and will be based off a quote I find or am given aka give me quotes!!!
Chapter 1: Caring
Characters: Daine and Numair
"You fight with the people you care about because they are worth fighting for."
Daine Sarrasri sighed, brushing one hand across her forehead. Her eyes were shadowed as she looked up at the tall mage before her, her smoky curls stuck to her face with sweat. "Why won't you leave me alone?" She yelled, her voice cracking with a hidden sob. "All I want is to rest, not to study one more stupid animal in that damn book!"
She glared at the offending book, wishing that she had the Gift so that she could burn it to a crisp…or better yet, shut Numair Salmalín up. She turned away, trying desperately to hide the tears that started streaming down her cheeks. The man was so infuriating—one moment he was holding her hand, tracing the skeleton of some mammal and the next he was three feet away, yelling at her.
Numair sighed, eyeing his young student. It was wrong he told himself with an inner moan. The girl was so much younger and had no idea that his court reputation was so well known. He desperately tried to squash the growing feelings, yelling at Daine so that he could hide them.
Deep down though, he know that he fought with her over these petty things to show that he cared. He would not let his feelings get in the way of her education. He encouraged her flirtations with those of her age group, hoping that if she found someone it would be the end. He fought with her to show he cared—to live in hope that she would not break his heart.
A/N: Well? We shall see...
