She came and stood beside him. She said, You know Logan is going to

I know.

She put her hand on his. He turned and they looked into each others eyes. Im so confused, Kylar. I want to say yes to him. I think I love him. But I also

He swept her into his arms roughly, throwing an arm around her back and a hand behind her neck. He pulled her to him and kissed her. For a moment, she gasped. And then she was kissing him back.

In the distance, as if all the way across the river, somewhere in the castle, he heard a door slam. But it was so far away, surely it didnt matter. Then he felt Serah stiffen in his arms and pull back.

A hand clapped on Kylars shoulder, not gently.

What the hell are you doing! Logan shouted, spinning Kylar around.

Heads popped out of nooks and the porch went still. Kylar saw the princes head among them.

Something I should have done a long time ago, Kylar said. You mind?

Oh shit, the prince said. He started trying to disentangle himself from the young blonde who was wrapped around him in an alcove.

Kylar turned away from Logan as if to kiss Serah again, but Logan hauled him back around. Kylars fist came first and caught Logan on the jaw. The big man stumbled back and blinked his eyes.

Serah shrank away, horrified, but she was already forgotten. Logan came forward, his hands up like a proper boxer. Kylar dropped into an unarmed fighting stance, Wind Through Aspens.

Logan came in and fought as Kylar knew he would: honorably. His punches came in above the belt. Textbook jabs and hooks. He was fast, far faster than he appeared, but fighting in such a rule-bound style, he might as well have been a cripple. Kylar wove in among his punches, brushing them aside, falling back slowly.

A crowd gathered in moments. Someone shouted that there was a fight and people started pouring outside.

The guards, admirably enough, were the first ones out. They moved forward to stop them.

No, the prince said. Let them fight.

The guards stopped. Kylar was so surprised he didnt dodge and the next punch knocked the wind out of him. He staggered back as Logan came in, his weight on his toes, crowding Kylar back against the railing.

Kylar gasped a few breaths, blocking his friends punches with difficulty. As his wind returned, rage swept over him. He blocked a punch up, ducked beneath it, and rained four quick punches on Logans ribs, sliding away from the railing.

Logan turned and swept a gale through the air with a huge roundhouse, stepping forward at the same time. Kylar dropped beneath the blow and flicked a foot into Logans pelvis. Instead of taking a step, Logan found that his foot wasnt where hed told it to be. He fell. Then Kylars fist caught him across the face and he crashed to the ground.

Dont get up, Kylar said.

There was a stunned silence from the crowd, followed by murmurs.
