I'm a new person in this category of books..so be easy on me, please? =)
Let's just say I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending of Lady Knight, so
I'm continuing on to the Steadfast.
~~D: I don't own Tamora Pierce's works~~
Old Love
"Kel?"
The lady knight turned to see the handsome, smiling face of Sergeant Domilian of Masbolle.
"Dom! I didn't expect for you to arrive so soon! I see you've been losing your touch."
She glanced at the slanted white scar above his left eyes and grinned. Muttering about a lucky Scanran's loose arrow, he settled himself in a chair by her. Kel felt her heart flutter as Dom accidentally brushed her hand as he reached over to take his goblet. Stop his nonsense, she gruffly told herself and sat up straight. The rows of pages piled out as they dispersed food to the crowd. Irnia looked up from her serving try, in front of Kel and Dom, and glanced at both knights. She caught hold of Kel's eyes and winked impishly.
Grumbling, Kel ignored the wink and dug into the nearby food trays. Dom shook his head in amazement at Kel and began on his own plate.
"Keladry?"
The knight growled, for her appetite was not yet filled, and turned to the person next to her, and almost dropped her plate. It was Cleon of Kennan. Dom leapt forward catching her half-eaten food in mid air, and placed the plate in its proper place.
"Kel, you should watch where you're spilling-"
Confused, she waved to Cleon, not paying attention to Dom. The redhead grinned and moved to the table in front of her's. From behind him, Ermelian of Aminar looked around and smiled warmly at Kel. She took an instant liking to Cleon's wife-to-be and politely called out a greeting.
"Congrats to you and Cleon," she said happily, fingers fiddling with the napkin. She saw the twinkle of Ermelian's engagement ring and her smile broadened; they were perfect for each other.
Cleon smiled at her , deep down he would always have feelings for the lady knight. However, he was a knight of honor and knew not to trend on grounds now forbidden to him. She waved to the empty space at the table in front of her's and gestured for them. Looking down at her plate, Kel thanked Dom profusely from saving her the trouble of changing at such an important moment. He just grinned back.
"Aren't I always keeping you out of trouble?"
Kel rolled her eyes and punched him playfully. Adopting a hurt look, which did not fit him, Kel burst out in laughter. Several people turned to look at the normally silent knight.
"That's a horrible face, Dom."
He mock scowled, the playful glint still shining in his handsome sapphire eyes. Raking several strands of his raven-black hair back, he turned to pile on some more food.
Cleon watched the two, a bit more envious than he was supposed to. I guess I really do still love her, he wondered. Smiling sadly, he sat in his chair and pulled out one for his wife-to-be. Some things never change.
Should I continue? Does it suck? I'm trying to immitate Tamora's writing style...I hope it works, or else I'll look like a fool :P.
