Kellian

"Why don't you go talk to him Kellian!", came a teasing sing-songy voice next to her ear. It caused her to flush and jump, which caused her so called friends to start laughing and giggling at her. "Oh hush! I talk to him all the time!" She stuck her tongue out at them and turned back to the shirt she was mending. They had a break from lessons but there was still things to be done and Kellian and a couple of the other candidates were all seated by the lake doing various things. Kellian was mending a few tunics belonging to other candidates. Her stitching was often more even than some of the other girls, that and she actually didn't mind mending or making clothes if she got the chance.
The "him" they were referring to was her friend L'ton, who was currently bathing his brown not too far away. They had become friends while in lessons and helped each other during chores as often as they could, right up until he had Impressed his Kaliqueth. She still talked to him on occasion, but she did miss him being around so much. Most days she only was able to speak with him in passing from one lesson or another to her chores, maybe at meals if she was lucky. She found he was easy to talk to and managed to develop somewhat of a crush on him, that she did try to hide. Unfortunately girls were far more observant than boys seemed to be and she was regularly teased for it. It was her own fault though, her eyes were often drawn to him again and again, as they were now. She had liked him just fine before he had Impressed, but he had changed so much in the last months that it was hard not to notice him. Of course, all the other girls had noticed him as well, a fact that was not lost on her at all. For what it was worth, one way or another he was still her friend, she imagined some day it would change, but she was hopeful he would still at least be friendly.
"Uh huh..", came her friend's teasing voice again. She had caught her looking at him again, smiling a bit as she watched him being playful with his brown. "Oh! Hush!", she said again with a huff, then swatted her with the tunic in hand. This of course caused all three of the girls she had been with to dissolve into a fit of laughter and giggles. She decided then that she was not going to raise to her friend's baiting anymore and picked up her things and, after making playful faces at them all, went off to sit near a rather large rock to finish her mending. Her face was flaming red as the girls continued to laugh, though without Kel to tease they settled down into other chatter rather quickly, for which she was thankful for. She tried to compose herself so she could finish her work, but couldn't help to look up at L'ton again.
She was terribly glad that she wasn't still beside the other girls, because as she looked up she ended up catching his eye. She blamed the excessively loud giggling and laughter of her so called friends for drawing his attention. She was glad he was with his dragon still, because even from where she was she could tell he was laughing at her. She groaned softly and shook her head at him, not that he would understand why of course. She was sure that if he caught up with her later she would probably never hear the end of it. Not that she really cared much really, his humor was a relief from the gossiping wherries she called friends, though she supposed her being friends with him only gave them more to gossip about.
She huffed softly and shook her head again before dropping her gaze to the shirt in hand. She had to focus, she needed to get these done. Her friends might have been okay with slacking off, but she had promised to have the shirts mended and she meant to do so! Every so often she would look up at the chattering girls, or over at L'ton and his dragon. She was glad to see she was no longer of any interest to either of them, and managed to get herself lost in her work.
