Author's Note: Okay, umm… I have no idea why I wrote this, but I like the idea of Daja/Kirel. I was going through the Tamora Pierce section, and I noticed that there are almost no fanfics with this couple. I think it's interesting. The only one I found with this couple wasn't even mainly about them.
P.S. By the way, this is my first fanfic, so I don't know if it's any good.
Title: Daja and Kirel

*** = setting change
~A Not-So-Chance Encounter~
Frostpine was gone for the day. He told Daja that he had some errands to run, but that she could go to the forge if she wanted to. She was so bored that afternoon that she decided to visit the forge.
The young Trader girl walked into Frostpine's forge. It seemed empty with no one working in it. She slowly walked around and looked at the walls of the building.
"Hello."
"Aah!" Daja screamed. She whirled around to face... Kirel. "Oh, it's only you," Daja said as she sighed with relief. She continued, "Sorry, I didn't know you were in here."
"Well, I suppose I shouldn't have sneaked up on you like that," replied Kirel.
"No, you shouldn't have."
"I'm sorry. People usually hear me coming."
"That's all right," said Daja, smiling. "So what are you doing here?"
"Just looking around."
"Me too."
The two looked around the forge together.
***
Daja and Kirel were deep in a discussion about precious metals when Kirel suddenly yawned.
"Daja, I'm getting kind of tired. I think I'll just go sit in that corner over there and take a nap," he said.
The girl nodded in reply and watched as her friend curled up in the corner.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Author's Note: I know, I know. They are really out of character, but I couldn't help it. Anyway, this is my first fic and I hope that you like it. Sorry it's so short! More will come later...
