One shot. Conversation between Kestrel and Bowman. Just a little something I threw together. I know this is in dialogue form but I don't think it's against policy, because it's just two characters talking in italics. But if this gets taken off then I don't really mind, because I like this.

DISCLAIMER: Don't own WOF

It was a cold night as the carriages of Gang passed over the plains, and all was silent except for one carriage, and in that carriage a young man sat, apparently talking to no-one but getting replies all the same, and replies that anyone could hear if they just took the time to listen with more than their ears.

Kestrel, are you there?

Stupid question really, I'm always here.

I'm glad.

Me too. I couldn't live without you Bow, never.

Me neither, with you I mean. It's like you said, why shouldn't we love each other forever.

Exactly. We'll always be there for each other, no matter what happens you'll always have me and I'll always have you.

It's the one certainty in my life at the moment.

And in mine forever, because you know what this means, Bow. Us being joined?

No. well, I know it means I can never loose you, and I know it means that we'll never be parted, but I bet you're thinking about something else.

You're right. I was thinking, it means that when one of us dies, the other dies. We'll be together in whatever comes next too.

I never thought about it like that.

I did, I think I've always known we'd go together. Because I could have never died and left you here, never. I wouldn't want to live without you but I wouldn't want you to have to go through life without me.

I wouldn't go on, it would hurt too much. loosing you would kill me.

Likewise if anything happened to you I would do the same to me. I would even join the Zars if it meant I could stay with you.

I would never go to the Zars, not after all I've seen, after all we've seen.

No, I thought you'd say that. but you can't guarantee anything, Bow. You remember the power the Morah had on you all those years ago, but I never realised what it was like for you until I started looking at your memories of things. I'm sorry I wasn't with you then to help you take the pain.

You were there for me though, because you brought me back. You were there even when I wanted to kill you, and you held onto me and brought me back.

It was all I could do in the situation.

I know, but I hope you know I loved you more than ever for that.

I know, I loved you too, still do.

Hmmm, the feelings mutual.

Okay, so that whole 'feelings mutual' thing kills me to write, because someone used to use that line on me and now he hates me! but anyway, reviews appreciated.

Love and Hugs,
