Kel lay wide awake in her bed that night watching Dom's almost motionless body. Concentrating on the rising and falling of his chest. She was still worried about her two friends but she didn't know exactly how it could help. "There has to be something I can do!" she muttered softly to herself but in her agitation his that matress of the bed with a force waking Dom.
"Kel. What are you doing still up? Not fussing yourself over Neal are you?" he asked rolling over and grabbing Kel's hands softly. Kel's eyes looked away briefly until she realized he was going to wait forever for an answer.
"I supposed I am. There is nothing I can do though. I can't help Yuki feel better, I can't help Neal fix what he did and I can't help that girl!" she said angrily with a look of anguish on her face. Dom pulled her to his bare chest and held her tight. "I feel so useless Dom."
"Don't concern yourself with that love. You may be useless for this one thing but that is because this is Neal's issue not your's. You just need to let Neal fix it. Now you need to get to sleep. It must be nearly dawn and you getting only a few hours of sleep is never good. God night sweets." he said kissing her lightly on the forehead and holding her close. Not until he was sure she was asleep did he drift off as well.

Kel awoke early the next morning. She had had a terrible nightmare, but it had given her an idea. She climbed silently out of bed and changed and washed up. She then made her way out to the stables where she tacked up Peachblossom and mounted. The at a quiet trot at first rode silently out of the fort. Once at a good distance she sped up the gelding's pace a bit so she would arrive at town slightly earlier. She left her horse in the stables and made her way to the pub she was in the previous day. She walked into the relatively empty pub and located Judd.
"Excuse me do you own this place?" she asked leaning against the counter.
"Yes I do. What can I do for you?" Judd replied.
"I'm looking for this dark haired girl who works here. She was with a knight named Sir Nealean yesterday. I really must speak with her."
"Lora you mean. She's always late. Don't know when that girl will learn her lesson. What's your name?"
"Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan." she said simply. Just as she finished up Lora burst through the door. She was greeted as per usual by Jud's broad hand on her cheek and then Kel interfered. "I'll take it from here. Come here." she said calling Lora forward and dismissing Jud who turned on heel and walked off.
"I have come to speak with you about something very serious. You were with Sir Nealan yesterday where you not." Lora nodded "Well first of all Neal needs to be taught a lesson and secondly I want to get you away from here and I was wondering if you would be interested in becoming my maid. You would get a good pay and no man would ever hurt you again, I promise you that." Kel said with a smile.
"You want me as a maid?" she asked surprised but the look in Kel's eyes were very serious. "I don't know what to say. Oh... of course." she said exitedly. "Jud!" she called across the room "I quit!" and she walked out the door with Kel.
