Disclaimer: I do not own the characters their personalities, any of the
places terminology or just general type. The only parts of this story I do
own is my dreadful writing style so different from that of my idol the
original author who created the characters and my plot line that is better
than that of my other stories on this same topic!

Owen practically slithered off the deck at Dom's last words, he knew what he said was true and had no intention on sleeping outside the walls. Descending down the stairs he returned to his rooms, he would not let Dom beat him, after all he was almost a knight and Dom was only a Sargent. Caught in his own reality Owen didn't realize that he had actually gone into the stables and was standing right outside the stall of Kel's own faithful horse Peach Blossom...
~~~**#**~~~
Kel who had left the deck not more than a few minutes before Owen, was now in the infirmary talking with Neal. "Great goddess Neal I need you to just tell me what the problem is before it grows, why do you choose now to pussy foot around the point when it had never stopped you from speaking your mind before", Kel had only been taking to Neal a few moments and already they were arguing. These arguments seemed to be very common for the two of them lately. In Kel's mind Neal had been changed into one of the political nobles who just sat there and did nothing even though she could tell he had something to say, and putting this on top of everything else frustrated her to a point beyond all else.
"I evade no topic, and I say nothing for there is nothing to be said that would not cause my own demise", Neal ranted in his most educated voice possible. "I know you all to well Kel", Neal continued speaking in a way she could understand, "you open a topic with me that you know will most likely upset you and then blame me for telling you, like last night". From her attitude the news of his discovery of her "admiration" of his fair cousin had not been well taken.
"What do you mean 'like last night' I said nothing about last night and I didn't say anything to that effect" She was of the verge of losing control. In all fact there was a very, very fine thread of dignity keeping her from leaving right then and there not that she cared.
"Well, if you said nothing then I guess my analysis of the situation was not a good one", Neal unlike Kel had no thread and was done with this conversation, "now lady Knight I bid you farewell and beg you to leave my quarters instantly". For the first time since Neal had met Kel he spoke to her as an officer only following orders with no heart towards the cause or in support of the commander. Never before had he addressed her so coldly and with so much venom in his voice. Of all the fights they had ever had this was by far the worst and at this point he was almost certain he would not be able to salvage their relationship, but he had to try for all he was worth.

Note From the Author: Now I know this might not seem like the chapter to end all chapters but it is somewhat necessary in the final explanation and ending to the story in the long run. Look it over more than once if you have time because it contains some minor details that could possibly be crucial to helping you figure out the ending. I do promise to actually put a non fluff chapter in very soon!
