Title: Potential Rating: PG Wordcount: 137 Pairing: Alanna/Roger Fight: 1/G Summary: Roger encounters an unlikely defector.

"And Jonathan?" Roger's eyes sweep appraisingly over the form of the squire in front of him. To think that Alan--no, Alanna--had kept such a secret from under his nose, and for so long... that type of cunning would be useful.
"What of Jonathan?" Alanna's violet eyes stare unblinkingly back. "Don't you have a plan for him?"
"Of course, of course, and correct me if I am wrong, but I have generally believed you are loyal to my cousin."
It takes her some time before answering, and Roger can see the calculations going on in her head. "He isn't strong enough," she finally says. "Jonathan has followers, but that is a condition of birth and privilege, not true leadership. Whatever else you may be, you have the strength necessary to lead Tortall. I can see it."
