Title: Reconsider Rating: G Word Count: 182 Pairing: Jonathan/Kel Fight: 2/A Summary: Alanna thinks Kel should reconsider.
“He’s not all that bad, you know.” Alanna’s voice startled Kel. They had been sitting in the stands watching the jousting in silence for so long Kel had begun to wonder if she would ever speak.
“I’m sorry?” Kel asked politely.
“Jonathan,” she explained. “You have every right to hate him, and I wouldn’t hold it against you if you still do.” She paused and looked up at the clouds. “But you should know he does have a good heart.”
“I’ve heard kings can’t have good hearts,” Kel replied, almost surprised at her own coldness. “I’ve heard that power sucks it out of them.”
“Maybe somewhere that’s true,” Alanna said, “But not here. Jon usually means well, he just gets confused. And you certainly confused him.” She stood and said, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go wish Raoul good luck. He’s getting old these days, and I worry that he might get knocked silly.” She smiled. “Perhaps a pointless fear, since he’s still sure he’s unbeatable.”
Kel nodded and watched as Alanna disappeared into the crowd, considering her words.

Gah, I never commented on this! I really like how it's Alanna convincing Kel to consider.
Also, these lines make me happy.
