Title: There Exists A World Rating: PG Wordcount: 141 Pairing: Jon/Kel Fight: 1/F Summary: Time for some introspection and discovery.
-
"I can't imagine what it would be like to be you," Kel whispers. "To be king."
"I never knew anything else." Jon's mouth is skewed harshly to the side. "And when I tried to escape, I... lost things."
She doesn't ask what was lost, and he doesn't find her an answer.
"But there have been moments of comfort," he finishes.
Kel's smile twists gently with understanding.
"Is that why you called me here, your majesty?" she asks quietly.
"Not quite," he responds. "I was planning to talk about rebuilding the northern towns. I'm not sure when the conversation... shifted."
"For my part, I think you're a better man then you think." Kel stands up. "I have to meet with milord Raoul now, sire."
"Of course," he responds, "you are dismissed."
Jon watches her go.

I think that's a perfect way to describe their relationship - that teetering balance that you've aptly captured so well in this entire piece.

I love how you impart so much by saying barely anything at all.

Oh, I love all the undertones in this - there's so much just below the surface, and it's intriguing.
