Hello all. I considered stopping the story for a while but I'm feeling inspired right now. Well, it's getting kind of weird here, so I'm sorry if you're confused. Joren is the evil guy here, and no he does NOT like Kel. Its so obvious he hates her. Anyway, I hope you'll review this when you're done.
STOOPID DISCLAIMER: I don't own anyone from the TP books. BOO-YAH.

Neal paced his rooms, hands behind his back, nose in the air. Ever since Kel had mysteriously reappeared after she had mysteriously DISappeared, she had been frostily ignoring him. Ah gods, what have I done? I want to hold her and kiss her and tell her how I feel, but she's being so cold and distant. Does she blame me for her kidnapping? What happened to her?
Neal hadn't slept very well that week. He liked being the Lioness's squire, but it wasn't as satisfying as he'd hoped. She always wanted to know about what Kel had been doing lately, about her adventures with the spiderens, the bandits, her war with Joren. Neal sighed, expelling great amounts of anxiety and despair along with the air. Kel's disappearance had strained his nerves horribly. He had been so relieved to see her he had had to look away so she wouldn't see the tears standing in his eyes.
He sighed once more. He ran his fingers through his hair and decided to confront her tomorrow. For now, he got into bed and picked up his newest philosophy book and began to read.

"Magelet, you're drunk," Daine and Numair were walking back to their apartment; their steps unsteady. "So what if I'm drunk?" she asked, "Isn't a girl allowed to get drunk at her own engagement party? Anyway, look at you! You're drunk, too," for some reason she found this unbelievably. She giggled and stumbled. A hand under her elbow kept her from falling on her face in the stone hallway.
They finally stumbled into their rooms well after 2 in the morning. The party had been going strong when the bells tolled 1. Numair collapsed on a chair and drew Daine onto his lap, "So my lovely fiancé, we are to be married in a month. That doesn't seem unbearably long, does it?" "I suppose not. The wedding is going to be lovely, and very expensive. But that doesn't matter, you're paying for it anyway," Daine twisted so she could see his reaction to her sally. Suddenly they were both acutely aware of just how close they were. He leaned forward, closing the little space between them, and kissed her with a sweet intensity. For the moment Daine was deprived of thought.
Numair pulled away slowly and said, "I think we had better go to bed." Daine agreed, still slightly reeling from all the wine she had drunk, and from a much sweeter intoxication. Daine started to stand up, but Numair swept her up in his arms and carried into her room. "Goodnight, Numair," she whispered sleepily. "Sleep well, love," he responded quietly, and left, closing the door softly.

"Mistress Daine!" Kel banged on the wildmage's door. "Mistress Daine, its--" the door opened and a young woman with tousled brown hair and confused blue-gray eyes, "-Kel," she finished. "Mistress Daine, its Jump! I found him in the garden! I think his leg is broken. Please! You must help!" Kel's eyes were wide with fear. Together they hurried towards the courtyard shared by the squires. Once there Kel stepped out of the way as a stunning bolt of magic flew past her and hit Daine in the back.
"Well done, Keladry," said the deep-voiced man, Kel's new master, "this witch was planning on destroying King Jonathon and stealing the throne! We will have to remind her of her duty to her country, she was to easily persuaded by her evil sorcerer lover." Kel smiled, thinking that she had helped keep the throne of Tortall safe, not see the nasty smile in her master's eyes.
She bowed to him and said, "I must go. I have to train with my knight-master, Sir Raoul. Goddess bless."
