Summary: Kel comforts Owen when they are most in danger. Blatantly stolen from The Sound of Music.
There were shouts coming from the north, and Kel grabbed Owen's hand. "Get down!" she hissed, shoving him into small alcove concealed behind a fallen tree. She remained outside, hastily trying to conceal their tracks by scattering dead foliage around the forest floor. As the shouts came again, louder this time, she scampered into the tiny crawl space and put her fingers to her lips. "They're here," she breathed, and together they tried to muffle their panting.
"Kel?" he whispered, and suddenly he was eight years old again, terrified for his life as from the bushes he watched the hill bandits surrounding his mother and her foot soldier. "What do you do when you're afraid?"
"Well," she whispered back, pulling him close and leaning her head against hers. "I just think of my favourite things. Then I don't feel so bad."
