Chapter Text
Kel always knew she wanted to be a warrior. If she hadn't been able to complete her page training, she would have joined the Riders at the age of 15. She became a page, instead, both because she wanted to be a knight, and to spare herself five years in Tortall's convent or the Yamani equivalent.
Now that she was 15, although she was a squire, it made sense for her to spend some time at the Riders' training yards and mess hall, getting to know some of the men and women on that force.
She was absolutely not doing it on purpose, in hopes of running into Commander Buri again. Absolutely not.
