Summary: Vanessa and Kendra friendship. Reflecting and showing trust. Hints of WarrenxVaessa

"What have you been up to lately Van?" Kendra asked as said girl braided her hair.

Vanessa would have shrugged if her hands weren't currently in motion. Her thin, surgeons hands branding through Kendra's hair as if it were the smoothest silk. "Not much," she admitted.

"Nothing?" Kendra asked, "Come on, you said you had some juicy stuff to tell me."

"Well, Warren and I are officially together." Vanessa said a little sheepishly. She could feel Kendra's head shoot up in excitement.

"No way!" She exclaimed, "He finally asked you out?"

"It took a lot of stuttering and notecards, but yes. He asked me out last week after a minor conference with some other knights of Dawn. Like I said, nothing big."

"You waited a week to tell me this!" Kendra pouted, "I will never forgive you for this."

Vanessa chuckled well her fingers continued to thread through Kendra's perfect almond hair, "Y know you will, but I do enjoy torturing you like that. Besides,you know me and Warren aren't the most open of people. Well, he would probally show me off if I let him, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that."

"Why not?" Kendra asked, purely innocently.

"Because of my last, you know it isin't the brightest. Also considering my old loyalties, pairing up with a Knight of Dawn so soon after would not look good for me or Warren."

"That's ridiculous!" Kendra exclaimed.

"Maybe," Vanessa said, unconvinced of Kendra's words.

"Vanessa, if anything they would be jealous rather than suspicious!" That made Vanessa blush, "See!" Kendra confused, "You are amazing, Van. Don't forget that."

"Thanks hon." Vanessa said gratefully, "What have you been up to lately? Or I should say, you and Bracken?" Ah, revenge was sweet.

Kendra blushed, "We're taking it slow." She said, ironically slowly.

"So you guys haven't kissed yet?" Vanessa teased.

Kendra rolled her eyes, "He wouldn't be my first." Kendra insrantly regretted that as soon as it came out of her mouth.

"Oh?" Vanessa asked curiously.

"I'm not telling." Kendra mimed zipping her mouth shut.

"Your acting like you kissed Warren!" Vanessa jokes, but then realized Kendra staring at her toes. "No," Vanessa was enjoying this way too much.

"It was medical reasons!" Kendra said defensively, "He was an albino, and apparently fairy kisses have power or something. It actually got a reaction out of him."

"Does he know about this?" Vanessa asked.

Kendra snored, "He's never going to let it go."

"What did you tell him?" Vanessa asked.

"I told him he's not my type and then went over to sit with Bracken."

Vanessa laughed, "Cold."

"He clearly didn't feel it though. He just started pouting and saying that he is Warren Burgess and he is everyone's type. He is never going to let this go."

"Nope," Vanessa said cheerfully.

"You know I haven't told many people about that." Kendra said.

"Really?" Vanessa asked, clearly surpsied."

Kendra nodded, "And what is why it alright Vanessa. We all trust you now with our lives, I just wanted you to know that. Don't doubt yourself for a minute."

A bloom of pride blossomed up in Vanessa's chest, "Since when did you become so wise?" She asked as she tied off Kendra's braid.

Kendra laughed, a sound like bells that no one could get enough of. "I'm not wise, but I do have a kind heart. I am the handmaiden for a reason, or so Bracken insists on telling me. He can be a humongous drama queen sometimes, claiming himself unworthy or whatever."

Vanessa smiled, "He isin't worthy."

Kendra blushed. "Come on Vanessa," she got up, "Let's head downstairs."

"And Kendra?" Vanessa asked, "I know it doesn't mean as much, but I trust you to."

Kendra smiled as she and Vanessa walked down the stairs, to wherever they would lead next. Knowing they would always have each-other's backs.
