Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters they all belong to the brilliant mastermind Tamora Pierce. The story takes place in Kel's second year in Lord Raoul's service and I changed I few things just to make it more interesting. Anddddddddddd just for the record Kel is sixteen and Neal is twenty-one, She's sixteen cause I just turned sixteen so there.

Keladry of Mindelan swore in the Yamani langue and put her finger in her mouth. She threw the shirt she was mending needle and all to the floor. 'How dose Lalasa do it?' she asked her self silently. Kel had been trying to mend the large rip in her shirt the she had acquired that morning. So far she had managed to prick herself eight times and frustrate herself beyond belief. Kel sighed and stretched out her long legs before bringing them back to their original crossed position on her bed. She looked out her window 'I hope Lalasa's alright' she thought. Lalasa had left on a trip with the queen three days prior to be the queens seamstress she would be gone a little over a month. Kel missed her friend and former maid. She reached to the floor and picked up her sewing and placed it on the bedside table and scratched the head of the dog sleeping at the foot of her bed. She was lonely. All her friends were currently out of the palace with their Knight Masters', while she was in the palace and HER Knight Master visited the coast with Commander Buri. Kel had no real desire to accompany Raoul and Buri somewhere and had been quiet relieved when Raoul (red faced) had asked her to remain behind. So here she was; alone, friendless, and completely bored. Raoul had refrained from putting her under the service of another knight saying she deserved the rest. Kel at first had almost jumped for joy upon hearing this, but now she was so bored she would be glad to be in service of a stable hand. Kel toyed with her short braid, over the summer she had grown out her hair to just past her shoulders. She had also (to her great delight) slimed out making her girlish figure more recognizable. Kel looked across the room to her mirror and studied her reflection. 'Was she beautiful?' she thought 'surely not'.
"What do you think?" she asked a sleeping Jump.
Jump opened one eye to the one who had disturbed his sleep. Then yawned and closed his eye. Kel laughed and scratched his head.
"I think" a voice, drawled from the doorway "that your completely mad if you still expect that dog to answer."
Kel whipped around and stared at the man leaning against the doorframe. He had light brown hair combed back from a widow's peak, emerald eyes that sparkled with mischief, a muscular built body, and a new sharp goatee that accented his boyish smile.
"Neal!" Kel cried and bounded up to her knees.
Nealan of Queenscove laughed then went to Kel's bed and hugged her tightly. He stepped back taking her hands in his.
" God's " he looked her up and down " Kel, I have missed you"
"And the same here" Kel said grinning up into the face of her best friend.
" Look at you!" he cried as he reached back and tugged her small braid.
"Well what about you?" she asked poking his newly grown goatee.
Neal laughed and seized her in a hug again.
"I have missed you Kel!"
Kel wrapped her arms around his muscled chest and hugged him tight, closing her eyes she breathed in the smell of her best friend.
"But what are you doing here?" he asked stepping back once more. "I thought for sure you'd be off making a legend of yourself"
Kel laughed "No, not yet, and My Lord is on holiday with his lady love and has left me here for a break "
"Well isn't that nice" said Neal " I have also been abandoned by my Knight Master as she is at home."
"Oh good" said Kel eyes twinkling "I'll have some one to serve as a fencing dummy!"
"Oh really?" asked Neal raising an eyebrow.
He grabbed Kel's thighs pulling them forward. Kel yelped and fell to her back. Neal jumped on the bed and started tickling her mercilessly. Kel shrieked and giggled uncontrollably. Jump barked madly, running around the bed. Neal collapsed on the bed his head resting next to Kel's.
"I'm glad your back Neal" said Kel
Neal snaked an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into a hug.
"So am I Kel, so am I."
