Title: Jon’s Big Question, (3)
Rating: G
Word Count: 257
Pairing: Kel/Jon
Round/Fight: 1/F
Summary: Gary has a talk with Kel.
Kel was on her way to the practice courts when Jon’s prime minister stopped her.
“Ah, Kel? Can I have a quick word?”
She smiled politely. “Of course, Gary. How may I help?”
“Well you see,” he started nervously. “I have a problem.” When Kel nodded, he continued. “Cythera wants me to shave off my mustache. Insisting, rather, but my mustache and I have been close companions for many years, even longer than I’ve known my wife. You’re a woman. What do you think? Should I listen to her advice, or do what I want?”
“Ah,” Kel nodded knowingly, even as she inwardly sighed in exasperation. Jon, again! “I quite understand. You must be under a lot of stress.”
He sighed. “I’m almost losing sleep over it.”
“It’s alright.” Kel placed one hand on his shoulder. “Here’s what you do.” Gary leaned in closer as her voice dropped. “Cythera loves you very much, but sometimes you need to do what makes you happy.” Gary nodded, but Kel cut him off as her fingers dug into his muscle. “In this case, I can assure you that what makes her happy, makes you happy. Understand?”
Gary winced. “I got it, Kel.”
“Good.” She released him and flexed her hands menacingly. “And pass this message on to Jon. Tell him that I said to stop sending his friends and mine to convince me that he can shave his beard. It isn’t going to work. We’ve had many illuminating chats, and he knows that if he wants to keep me, the beard stays. If the beard disappears, than so do I.” Kel eyed the trembling Gary. “Got all that?”
“Crystal, Kel.”
“Good. Now, I’m going to humiliate a few cocky young knights. You are going to find Jon and tell him my exact words.”
Gary nodded fervently and waved a feeble hand as she stalked away. He withdrew a small mirror and petted his mustache soothingly. “Don’t worry, my boy, you’re safe. I’ll never cut you off.”
