Series: Weighed and Measured Title: Making Conversation Rating: G Event: 100-word dash Words: 100 Summary: Jon and Thom only ever have one conversation. Canon-compliant (stunning, I know). Warning for Thom being, well, Thom.
For Seek.
***
"Your highness."
"Lord Thom." A beat. "Any word from your sister?"
A shrug. "No. We scarcely talk, your highness. Eight years spent apart has obliterated whatever closeness we once shared, and that wasn't much."
"A pity."
"Surely you know she is in the desert, if you wish to go find her."
"I might."
Another shrug. "As you wish."
A pause.
"Oh, your highness?"
"Yes?"
"If you ever hurt her, I will put you down like a rabid dog."
Shocked silence.
"Excuse me?"
"I will turn the dead out of their graves."
Jon knows Thom means it. That is the problem.

;D Thanks!
Of all possible reasons for Thom's about-face/raising Roger in the books, "messing with Jon 'cause Jon broke Alanna's heart" is quite possibly my favorite one ever.
