AN: First a thank you to Strawberry Eggs for reminding about Kjelle's existence. I usually get to her Paralogue last, mostly because getting the guy I usually make her dad up to spec takes a while so I, uh...forget about her a lot.

It should be noted that I don't actually really hold any particularly strong attachment to Kjelle character wise. She's only got one particularly memorable support and that was with Severa who kind of overshadows Kjelle in terms of personality.

Unit-wise she's pretty awesome, except for the absolutely TERRIBLE Resistance (Seriously its terrible. Its just as awful as Gerome's)

Anyhoo, I'm going to apologize in advance if there's a ridiculous amount of typos/grammar errors/awfulness. Part of it being, I don't know how to write Kjelle and I'm trying to get these all out of my system before the weekend, because I seriously need to get my act together and study so that I don't fail finals. I do NOT want to have to go through the agony of ridiculous Toxicology marking schemes ever again. So yeah, expect to be bombarded in the next few hours.

It takes a grand total of about four seconds for Gaius to pop the lock with a cheeky smirk, and a split second for him to move out of the way of Lucina's boot as she kicks in the door, nailing an unsuspecting archer in the back, and only moments for Donnel's soup pot helm and sword to take out a second. Gaius, following Mother's orders to: 'open anything and everything that's locked' vanishes down another hallway to seek out treasure, while Lucina's eyes catch the sheen of metal and a familiar shout.

She recognizes the meticulously cared for armour at the same time she notices the archer lining up a shot at the knight's back.

"Kjelle!" she dives and brings up Falchion in a flash of white steel, deflecting the arrow from its intended target.

"Lucina!" the armoured girl exclaims in surprise, before a frown forms on her features.

"Don't interfere! This is a duel!"

"Kjelle," Lucina sighs almost exasperatedly. "I have no intention of interfering in a duel of honour, but there is an army of bandits outside those doors and more are making their way up from the lower floors." Lucina says firmly. "You cannot fight them all alone. Let us deal with the rabble, and you can fight your duel."

Kjelle nods wordlessly.

"Thank you Lucina. Good to know you're on the field. We can take'em all!" the armour knight declares hefting her lance and charging an unfortunate archer who had sorely underestimated how fast Kjelle could move in that heavy armour of hers.

"Kjelle?!" Lucina calls after her in vain. "Well she should be alright I suppose."

Kjelle is glad that she doesn't have to worry about having to deal with the weaklings that craven Cassius has working for him. Her lance might not have survived the brutal treatment she had been giving it dealing with these ruffians. She does however, have to deal with the scrawny-looking young man stumbling about the battlefield with a pot on his head, constantly getting in her way and slowing her down.

"Who are you and what are you doing on a battlefield?!" Kjelle demands whirling on the man as soon as the hall appears clear of villains.

"I'm Donny - I mean Donnel, and I'm a Shepherd, servin' his lordship Chrom an' all." he says slowly replacing his sword replaced in its scabbard obviously unused to the motion as he misses the scabbard not once, but twice before he finally manages to secure his weapon.

Kjelle stares. Surely she had misheard him. His name was Danny, or Daniel, or Dunnel something. Certainly not Donnel. Yes. Of course. There was no way her father was this weakling with a soup pot on his head.

"You'd best leave while you still can," Kjelle tells the boy, who can't be much older than her, or maybe even around her own age. "You're a liability and I can't spend all my time-"

"Watch out!" he exclaims suddenly snatching her steel lance from her grip - how did he do that? - and quickly stepping behind her to fend off an axe blow that was swung with enough force that it might have put a significant dent in her armour had it connected with her back.

In a surprising display of strength and skill, uses the shaft to deal a smarting blow to the head of the fighter, before taking half a step back to avoid the wild axe swing and then spinning the lance around to run the man through with the blade.

"Whew," he breathes out as he plants a boot on the body, and pulls the lance free, before suddenly turning bright red as he hands her back the lance.

"Gosh I'm real sorry 'bout that." he says as she wordlessly takes the proffered weapon, silently apologizing for ever doubting him. "We haven't managed t'git much sword trainin' done yet, what with all the runnin' around Robin and Chrom have us doin'. Much more comfortable with lances, but we've been runnin' low on those ever since Sumia broke a bushel o'them."

"When this is over, I'm challenging you to a duel." Kjelle states. She needs to be stronger. Much stronger than she is now if they are going to change anything.

"Huh?"

"Prepare yourself!" she shouts over her shoulder as she charges to go and beat that craven Cassius so hard down into the ground. She can hardly wait to see how strong she's going to be with both of her parents there to help her train.

AN: The Donnel/Sully support isn't actually a favourite of mine, but I use it pretty often because it's either Donnel or Gaius or M!Robin if she wants the class and therefore Galeforce. And I NEED my Galeforce Kids Army. But Donnel has always irritated me with his INABILITY TO KEEP HIS LANCE WEAPON RANK. Anyhoo, going back to Paralogue 'regular' progression... up next is Gerome.
