for all reviewing *hugs* And if/WHEN you review, I'm most likely to check out your stuff too. Ahh. Reviewing. Just another vicious cycle. If you want me to notify you of a chapter update, please say so in your review and give your email address as well. Sometimes its hard to weave through bios. Well! Keep reading! AGAIN-if you have Lady Knight-don't tell me anything about it! I reckon people should give us a better warning about spoilers in their fics
Disclaimer: I disclaim everything. Except Kuri, Shigo (my lovable sparrows) and this terrible plot. ^_^
Cold Wind Blowing
Kel twisted uncomfortably in the saddle as they looked down from the ridge near the Tortallan military camp. A strange noise came from Neal's stomach, distrubing the silence. She gave him a look.
"I can't help it if I'm hungry!" he protested."C'mon. It'll take us only about 15 minutes to get down there. And, formalities aside, I'll be eating in 20." Neal grinned as Kel shook her head sadly.
"Let's go," she said to Peachblossom, and steered him away from the ridge. Jump, now with a supportive bandage around his middle, sat in a throne of his own. The cup, rather, that was attached to Peachblossom's saddle, similar to the one Kel had had when she was working with the Own as a squire.
The five sparrows clung to Peachblossom's mane, trying to protect themselves from the cold wind that blew. Kel sighed contentedly. If Cleon wasn't in the field, she would be seeing him very soon. (A/N i thought I had stole the title, but I think that other one was 'Dark wind blowing'. Yes, it was.)
.
When they arrived in the camp, Kel was disappointed to hear that Cleon was out fighting. She wished she could see him NOW. "Oh well. Let's get something to eat" Kel said, after they had finished with their horses. Neal nodded hungrily.
"After a good meal I'm going to see if I can be any use in the healer's quarters. Let's just hope there's nobody with terrible head wounds," he drawled.
.
"Kel! Over 'ere!" She turned in the direction of the familiar voice, holding a plate of what LOOKED like radishes and potatoes.
"Neal! It's Raoul. You know I've been wanting to see him too. I wonder if the King's Champion is with him."
Neal followed, muttering about the poor quality of the food that would be going in his stomach. Kel turned around as they were walking over to her former knightmaster's table - "Well, next time you can cook it."
Neal gave a shudder, a beweildered look and decided to keep quiet while eating his 'glup of a meal'. "So, Kel-how've you been?" Raoul asked while chomping on something that looked suspiciously like a dead worm. Neal quickly searched his plate.
"Pretty good. I'm glad to be up here though. How's the Own?"
They talked for some time, Neal just listening quietly and adding in a couple of words wherever he felt the conversation needed disturbance from him.
Kel glanced up at him, a finger trying to stop the mush-meal from escaping her mouth.
'But since when have I always expected Neal to be a loud busy-body? He seems really quiet.' she thought. But this was the sort of thing you usually slept on, and as it was just lunch, Kel decided to leave the matter of Neal's strange behaviour til later.

I combined these two chapters. They were gonna be in one together originally...

A Time for Everything
Kel bustled around in her tent, re-applying Jump's bandage. When that was done, she fed the sparrows and busied herself with shining up Griffin.
Kel sighed.
"What am I even doing here? Maybe I should just go home."
"Or not."
Kel gasped and dropped Griffin, making the blade all dirty again.
"Cleon!" She clasped her hands together and turned around. He was smiling, with a blood-caked split lip and a briuse above his left eye.
"I'd kiss you, but-" he indicated his torn lip. She kissed him anyway. Cleon pulled her into a tight embrace and Kel rested her head on his shoulder.
"I was so worried."
"Mmm," he said absently.
"It's good to be here now." 'With you' Kel added in her mind.
Kel saw Neal's head pop up from Cleon's shoulder, and he looked as though he was about to ask where the latrines were. To her surprise, he wasn't shocked at the sight of them, or even Cleon being there.
He was - smiling? His lips were tight though and there was no twinkle in his eyes as he greeted them.
"Hey." Cleon jumped apart at the sound of his voice.
"Neal! How are you?" Cleon went red at the thought of Neal walking in on something between him and Kel that would be a bit more intimate.
"Great." Neal said. "Lady Alanna told me you came back with her" - so that's why he wasn't surprised, Kel thought - "Apparently you took a good blow near your eye." Cleon turned and faced him directly. Neal laughed at Cleon's smallish bruise.
"She was right, despite the exaggerations." Cleon gripped Neal's arm like a good friend would.
'Oh-and Kel, word from the gossips - Owen's raoming up here earlier than we thought. Anyway, I'm off to the Healer's tent. See you two later." Kel was perhaps-ing in the back of her mind that he didn't really need to go and help the healers at all, but she was too pre-occupied with Cleon at the moment.
