At the Party
A/N Thank you all for the reviews. Here is the answer to the question asked:
Why do they need to keep this (the kiss) a secret?
This is set during Squire and it just wont do for the court to know that Squire Keladry is "seeing" a member of the Own. (the Kel/Cleon thing didn't happen.) Characters might seem a little "out of character". It just makes working with them easier.
At the end of the party.
"Don't forget about the dare," Neal so gently reminded his cousin and best friend in front of Cleon, Owen, and Roald. Owen looked at Kel and Dom.
"What dare is this? It must be right jolly if it has to be done in front of all of us."
"Ok, we'll do the dare right now," answered Kel. So they walked into the privy, holding hands.
No sooner they had the door closed Neal hollered at them," You forgot to tell them what the dare is!" Then all you could hear was some shuffles and bangs.
"We thought your big mouth could do that! Ow, Kel, that's my foot."
"Sorry."
Everyone stared at Neal with their mouths dropping open. Flareon with his hands to his mouth in the "no way" pose, Joren laughing so hard he almost fell over, and Cleon 's face turning the same shade of red as his hair. "I bet them ten gold nobles each that they couldn't trade pants for tonight and tomorrow without losing their minds."
Everyone was silent.
Joren burst out laughing, even more this time, actually falling over. Flareon's eyes rolled back as he fainted, Cleon finished changing colors, and Merric rushed to the privy door as Kel shouted, "Dom! You almost shoved me out of the privy and I'm only in my lioncloth!"
"That wasn't jolly," Owen stated.
"Neal, you get Merric away from this door!" Flareon looked at the others in the room, "How does she do that?"
"Just lucky I guess," Kel said as she and Dom appeared now wearing each other's pants. As she walked past Merric she slapped him upside the head, "You, you, you," she stuttered looking for the right word.
"Pervert," Dom and Neal piped in.
"Thank you. You pervert. Who were you trying to look at me or Dom?"
Everything went quiet as Joren finally stopped laughing. Kel walked over to the punch bowl. Joren looked at her in horror, "that was gutter- minded," he said with his voice shaking.
"Thank you," she answered calmly, once again feeling like a calm lake, and left.
