JK R1: Breaking the News, (3) Rating: PG Word Count: 156 Pairing: Jon/Kel Round/Fight: 1/F Summary: Kel might just have to tell her mother a closely kept secret.
The clink of china was the loudest sound in the tea room, followed by Kel's almost audible struggling as she forced herself to come clean to her mother.
“Mother,” Kel said, muffled through the fingers that covered her face, “It’s not that I was avoiding telling you.” Yes it was, she amended silently. “No one knows about Jon and I. No one.”
“Then you should start by telling your only mother,” Ilane said coolly. “Who is this Jon of yours? There are no unmarried nobles by that name in Tortall, and thankfully, you didn’t bother to lie and claim he’s from elsewhere.”
“There’s one,” Kel muttered dully.
“No there isn’t-” Ilane’s face froze. “Keladry,” she breathed, “Tell me that it’s not, no, it can’t be who I’m thinking of.”
Kel sighed. “It probably is, mother,” she admitted. She removed her hands from her face, but couldn’t stop herself from childishly closing her eyes. “Jon’s the king.”

Poor Ilane. Kel really should have let her down easier.
