“Judge”, for the Babylon 5 Drabble Project
Merann unexpectedly stole the spotlight in this one! (And BABY Merann at that!). “Hold Back the River” AU, of course!
Merann was not Warrior Caste, living for the joy of victory in battle. Religious Caste were not competitive.
But Merann learned in temple that no one was perfect. So it was acceptable, then, that she was a bit competitive. Make that a lot competitive.
She spent months cultivating her aka plant, trimming each branch lovingly and giving it just enough water and sunlight.
So when she received a blue ribbon from the Tuzenor Life Festival and the judge remarked that she had the most talent with plants she had ever seen from a nine-year-old, Merann was very proud of herself.
