Fond Farewells | Guin & Kate

Jon’s body was hardly cold in the grave when Avelina Beaumont had swept into Gryffintree Hall, offered her sincerest condolences for their mutual loss and then proceeded to take control of their home. Lynessa Valles would be the new mistress there, but she, in her infinite generosity, would not turn the Fontaine girls or their cousin out into the world with nowhere to go. They would be allowed to taking lodgings at Yilankale, in the North.

They were to leave as soon as they were able (which was not soon enough for the Beaumonts, it would seem). 

There were many things about the east that Guin knew she would miss dearly (the warmth, for one) but Kate Miller, as one of her dearest friends and fellow resistance member, might possibly be the thing she missed the most. 

As she walked the familiar path from her home to Kate’s, with a heavy heart she wondered how long it would be before she was here again. There were few places that felt as warm and cheerful as Kate’s tiny cottage. It was always clean and orderly and often smelled of flowers and baking bread. And, of course, its greatest attribute which was Kate Miller, herself. 

Guin knocked softly on her door and waited for the answer.

When the Night Comes | Kate & Alaric

"It is growing dark. Let me see you safely to the road." Kate and Rose would normally travel back to the village together, but tonight Kate had stayed with them later than usual. Alaric knew that if she should be spotted with a known outlaw that it would be worse for her than if she was alone, but he knew how to make himself scarce in an instant if need be: it was one of the reasons he had survived for so long.

If Cedric had been about, he would have volunteered to do this task himself, but he had been showing Char and his nephew the lay of the land. Kate had wanted to be there when they returned with something hot, but she was finished and Alaric did not think it was a good idea for her to stay here so late.

"Don't worry about them," He said, catching her glance in the direction which the three of them had gone a few hours back, "Cedric knows these woods better than any man; they will be back before it is night."

I've Seen Worse | Roran & Kate

Roran had protested and argued, but his uncle had been firm with him. No. He was not ready. It was too dangerous. It was a simple enough job: Alaric, Cedric, and his uncle were going to raid a small group of soldiers who had just collected taxes from the villagers who could not afford it. He could be of some use: he trained with both Charles and Alaric endlessly for the past few days.

Wasn't he ready to test himself? 

No. He was to stay here and help Kate and Rose look after the camp. He almost laughed at that. Protecting the camp was more of formality than anything and it hadn't taken Roran long to figure that out. It was tucked deep in the woods where no one ever came. And if they did, all traces of the resistance could be concealed in an instant. 

Roran sat in silence as Kate prepped the stew for dinner. Rose was patrolling the borders and Arya was nestled up close to the fire. His mind was elsewhere as he sharpened his sword -- the very sword that had been his father's when he was a rider. A twig snapping in the distance, however, roused his attentions and he turned quickly towards the sound. 

But it was only Rose. 

It was then, as he looked down, that he realized that he had sliced his hand on his sharpening stone when he had jumped to his feet. "Kate? It seems I have a bit of a scratch ... " He said, calmly, despite the blood. "Do you could help me get it patched up before my uncle gets back?" 

If he found out he had hurt himself just sharpening his sword, Roran would never be allowed to leave the forest, ever.

SO IT MAKES ME V SAD THAT KATE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE SHE DOES MUCH B/C NO ONE THINKS THAT OKAY. 

So, the resistance started w/ just Alaric and Cedric, and I think b/c of that Cedric is def Alaric's right hand when it comes to well, everything. But I still think he probs looks to Kate for advice sometimes. Like I think he sees that w/ everyone else that the ends are gonna justify the means to some extent, but Kate is still kinda their moral center (I mean, until she makes a deal with the devil for Cedric's life EXCUSE ME WHILE I CRY OVER HERE), but I think there's part of Alaric that sometimes struggles with what the right thing is, vs the thing that will get them what they want. And idk with the tough choices, he def will always see what Kate has to say, I think. 

Also, I feel like they are kinda like the unofficial ~parental figures of the resistance, especially since like everyone has a kinda rocky family life, if they have one at all and I feel like they are the unofficial heads of this family, if that makes sense ??? 

Also, also I do think taht Kate LEGIT keeps them alive. Like she makes sure they eat and probs is the one who is like NO YOU HAVE TO STAY BEHIND THAT IS NOT JUST A STRACH YOU NEED REST DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT when someone gets injured. ;D

tl;dr: Alaric lives a Kate Miller appreciation life. ;D

Will & Kate + 8(,000 questions) | Will & Kate

Roseline l'Archer was unlike any woman William Caldwell had ever known -- and he had known plenty. Growing up he would often imagine his life like as story. He would accomplish great feats that would be turned into songs and he would then be able to win the hand of the fairest lady in the land. He had once hoped to marry Lady Genevieve Beaumont. She was lovely and soft spoken and the cousin of the Queen. 

Only great heroics would win him her hand. 

But meeting the young blacksmith who could fight with her words as well as she could with a sword, Will wondered if perhaps he wanted something different. She was not like other girls, which certainly had it's appeal. But when it came to wooing her, Will was lost. Every compliment he sent her way, every gift he tried to give, every story of his accomplishments were met with scowls instead of swoons. 

He needed help. 

He had asked the local villagers and was directed to the bakery. Katheryne Miller, it was said, was one of her closest friends. 

He stepped into the bakery and strode up to the girl behind the counter. "You, girl. Are you Katheryne Miller?" He asked, "I hear you can keep a secret."
