Title: Sparks
Rating: G
Couple/Character: Alanna of Trebond/Liam Ironarm
Event: 110 word hurdles
Summary: Liam- playing nursemaid to Alanna (yet again) after the Doi retrieve her from Chitral- is watching her sleep and trying to rectify her reckless behavior. Even though we all know how they end up, I always wanted to explore more of his thoughts about the whole situation. (For those of you who are not reading because of Goldenlake, the object of this challenge was to produce a drabble that mentioned no names- the names of your couple or character of focus.)
The sleeping lady knight's face was arranged in a slight scowl, yet it still displayed more vulnerability than usual. In the warmth of the inn, her cheeks had regained their ruddy flush. He sighed grudgingly, regarding her from the fireside through his crystalline green stare. When the Doi fetched her from Chitral's top, she'd been paler than milk, bloodied and battered.
Sipping steaming tea, he struggled to calm tempestuous emotions. She'd witched him- well, her blasted cat had- and run off into a horrific blizzard to claim the glittering gem which now rested under her pillow. But he couldn't hate a kindred spirit; their spark was one and the same.
