Neal hurriedly swallowed the shot and pushed past the knights and travlers all edged along the dance floor. Neal ran over to Kel and Bryce and pulled them apart. "What the HELL are you thinking Kel? You don't even know this guy!" Kel stood there too shocked to say anything. Bryce gently let go of Kel and planted himself in front of Neal.
"Hey, you got a problem you talk it out with me." Neal glared at him while Kel started mumbling to herself.
" Yeah, I have a problem. Kel here is drunk and you are making moves on her when she's vulnerable." Neal shouted. Kel shoved herself infront of Bryce and gave a piercing look to Neal.
"I may not be fully sober, but I do know that you're acting like a complete asshole!" she yelld. All around the dance floor people either hooted for Kel and Neal to fight , or gasped at the two best friends fighting.
"Gods, Kel you don't know this guy and you're flinging yourself at him just because I said I didn't like you back." Neal knew right after he said it that it was a mistake. Kel was horrified that she had been humiliated infront of everyone, especailly infront of Bryce. Kel didn't even think when she made the next move, she turned away and then, just as quickly swong at Neal, and punched him in the jaw. Everyone gasped. Neal staggered back abit before he regained his balance.
"You filthy whore!" Neal spat at Kel. Kel shuddered back and tried to regain her composure. Kel was trying everything to refrain from crying right then and there, but instead she choked it down and said to Neal,
"You of all people should watch what you say, one of these days your big mouth is going to get you in trouble and you can bet I'm going to get a front row seat." Her voice dripped with venom.
"Now, if you don't mind I'm going home to practice my glaive pattern dances. Oh, but don't think you're going to get away with this so fast Nealan," she smiled smugly as she called him his unfavorite name, " I'll see you on the practice courts, you can bet on that." And with that she turned on her heel and walked up to the waiting Bryce.
"I'm sorry our night was ruined by a certain someone, but hopefully I'll see you again. Right now I'm stationed at the Palace. " Kel leaned forward and kissed him softly. Kel walked to the edge of the dance floor , she was immediately given a path that lead towards the front door. Kel casually walked out of the bar and hoisted up on Peachblossom and headed towards the palace. Everyone looked back at a flabbergastted Neal. For the rest of the night he sat at a table shaking his head and mumbling things no one could make out. Everyone knew Neal had asked for his death when he had yelled at Kel, and they also knew she would pound him into the Earth.
The next day almost the whole castle had heard about the arguement and where waiting at the practice courts for Neal and Kel to show up. About an hour after everyone had gathered around the fences, Kel came jogging down the front steps on the Palace. Neal was talking to a bunch of knights when he saw her approach another court. He moved behind her so she couldn't see him. Kel was streching and would not notice him appraoch her from behind, he was going to get in the first move. Just as he was going to kick her in the back of the knee so she would fall , her leg shot out from behind her and she twisted back. Neal's legs where kicked out from under him and he landed on the ground. Kel looked down at him and growled. "Don't EVER try to make a cheap move like that on me EVER, EVER, AGAIN!" Everyone was staring at them, Kel paid no heed put said loudly enough for everyone one to hear. "Since you so eagerly want start this little fight, and since you made a cheap first move, I
call the rules." Kel thought about what she was best at and then what would hurt Neal more, finally she picked a catergory. "Duel, swords or daggers. If our swords are both knocked out of our hands then we fight hand to hand combat." Neal slowly nodded. He knew she was better at both, but today he felt like he could take her on. "Let's use swords ." He said. kel agreed and they approached the crowded practice court assigned for the match. Kel unsheath Griffen, her sword, and prayed to yamma that she win.
