Title: Tradition
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 247
Pairing: Jon/Zahir
Round/Fight: 1/A
Summary: Apparently this is tradition. Zahir has his doubts.
Zahir blinked away the sweat that trickled into his eyes. He felt another bead on his back, forging a meandering path towards the small of his back.
Tradition, I disagree, he thought furiously, yet the Bazhir refused to allow himself to move.
It was the night before the night before his Ordeal, and apparently it was tradition that squires take a traditional sweat-bath the day before their overnight vigil in the Chamber.
Zahir had more than a few doubts. No one else had mentioned such a strange (traditional) ritual. He strongly suspected that his current state of undress had more to do with his knight-master and less to do some farcical tradition.
After all, there was absolutely no need for the oil that covered his body. The king had enjoyed that particular part entirely too much, for he had chuckled under his breath as he smoothed on the oil with his bare hands. And he took far too much care in doing so. Zahir’s chest really did not need to be covered three separate times just in case a spot was missed.
Zahir also refused to perform for the eyes he was certain were watching him. The king probably expected him to jump around, scrape off the oil so that he could leave faster, but Zahir would not grant him such a view. He was naked but for a thin loincloth, after all.
No, Zahir refused to believe that it was tradition for all squires. For King Jon’s squires, well, maybe.
Considering his current status, that was quite believable.
