Title: The Right Question Rating: G Prompt: #7 Excess Words: 100 Summary: He simply asked that lingering question everyone wanted to know. Note: Taken from my latest drabble series on FFN.
The words are out of his mouth before he can stop them.
Jonathan blames it on the fatigue of hard travelling and the fact that a week is hardly enough time for his mind to have completely wrapped itself around the idea that Alan is actually an Alanna and that he should be a little more tactful.
If the awkward silence is to go by, then “So did you look during all those times we went swimming?” is not the right question to ask one’s unofficial squire.
Especially if said squire is female and prone to being utterly ambiguous.

Haha this is really cute, I love the last line. I could totally see this having happened, and it makes me nostalgic for young!Jon and Alanna, before all the crazy. It reminds me of the line in ItHotG, when Alanna tells Gary that she's a girl and he teaches her to laugh about it- it's nice to consider the idea that her friends were there to remind her that everything wasn't life-and-death serious (even if, in truth, it actually was). Nice job!
By the way, the name of your drabble series is quite beautiful.
