1. Ship
Buri wasn't a trustful person. Her companions had just started to gain her confidence. Yet when she first met Sir Raoul of Goldenlake her trust was put into him completely.
2. Delicate
Buri was as small as those petite court ladies but to call her delicate would insult her pride. So Raoul settled on tiny.
3. Friendship
Buri wasn't one for friendship. She didn't really understand the allure of having various friends very well, but with Raoul she learned a whole new meaning of it.
4. Years
They had known each other for years. The commander of the Queen's Riders she was often in the same battles as he was. They had been fighting together for years as he was the Commander of the King's Own. They had a companionable sense between them and everyone saw it. Thayet knew though it was destined to be more.
5. Hurt
He knows it was a mistake to comment on the Queen's Riders. It wasn't a fair judgment on one group that made a big mistake yet he did comment. It wasn't the depressed looks on the young men and women's face, or the way many of them talk about giving up. It isn't the fact that Domitan won't meet his eyes because he doesn't agree, it's not even the fact that he knows what he said was wrong. It's the hurt on Buri's face when she asks him if what she heard that he said was true.
6. Forgiven
Buri found herself forgiving him to easily. She didn't like it.
7. Hello
A simple hello from the short women made his heart beat faster then was comfortable.
8. Hanging
The first hanging they went to together was a grim affair. It was even grimmer after Buri explained her people's way of taking care of bandits.
9. Midwinter
He hated balls. He hated everything about them and everything that had to do with them. Just the word Midwinter sent chills down his back. The only amusing thing he got all midwinter was seeing Buri stuffed into a very tight dress and sitting next to a conservative. She looked as bad as he felt.
10. Rips
Raoul swore he heard her rip the dress apart as he passed her room that night. He defiantly knew he heard her shout for joy.
11. Love
Buri swore she was going to die when she saw the giantess with Raoul. She knew it was true love.
12. Ride
She liked riding next to Raoul. Her neck didn't hurt as much when she tried to look up at him.
13. Sulk
Raoul knew exactly what to say to the surly Kmiri when she started another sulking fit. Her anger wasn't much better then her gloom but he knew how to escape from her sight if the need be. There was never a better time for an emergency Own call...
14. Humor
Raoul didn't understand the humor Buri found in his wooden block mode at the first sight of matchmaking mothers. He didn't understand how she thought it was funny at his expense. That is until he laughed to himself when Buri found herself seated next to a talkative court lady, a conservative man, and a gloating young knight.
15. Squire
The thing that shocked Buri was that Raoul's squire knew it better then they did when Kel made Raoul invite her to a midwinter party.
16. Midwinter Party
His Great Aunt's Midwinter Party ended up very different then Raoul expected...
17. The Not So Secret, Secret
Raoul and Buri wanted to keep it a slight secret. They found it most difficult when they had two loud groups to deal with.
18. Proposal
Buri accepted. Raoul was happy. Thayet knew it all along and Kel didn't look surprise. Raoul didn't realize that his proposal had been one thing that no one needed a seer to foresee.
19. War
Buri cursed wars and every other battle sent along the way. If she had been permitted she would have marched to Scanra herself to behead their stupid King. She wanted to get married and she wanted to get married soon.
20. Peace
Peace. That was Buri's new favorite word. Peace was laying next to Raoul after their wedding, peace was not worrying about emergency Own calls and Peace was knowing that somewhere in Tortall Evin Larse was cursing her and the Queen's Riders. And probably ponies as well.
A/N: So. That was those obviously. I like them haha. Short, simple, and nothing too overly dramatic. Anyway the next pairing I might do is Neal/Yuki. I don't know yet haha. The ending ones were better then the beginnings in these in my opinion but hey.
