Title: Voice Lessons, G, Rating: G Word Count: 204 Pairing: Jon/Zahir Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Zahir gets to train a bit, after reading a selection of entirely useless books. Previous Chapter - Chapter Eight “Squire.” Zahir jumped, his attention fully engrossed by the odd book in front of him. “Your majesty!” He quickly got to his feet. When the king coughed, he amended hastily, “Jonathan.” Jonathan grinned and gestured at the stacks of books. “Working hard?” Zahir looked at the myriad of titles with a rueful and exasperated glance. Of the nineteen titles his knight-master had given him, there was not one with a common topic, or even one pertinent to the Bazhir, or even kings. They included: a Yamani dissertation on Scanran poetry, a diary of a clay-pot maker, a travelogue based in old Tyra, a ornithologist’s listing of exotic Carthaki birds, and a theoretical treatise on the improper usage of a hairbrush by Justin of Beiber in Tusaine. “Ah.” Jonathan nodded sagely. “Hardly working. That’s more like it. Anyway, squire, I’ve decided that I’ve neglected your physical training long enough. Even if you never become Voice,” and the significant glance he give Zahir made his opinion quite clear, “you still need to be a good knight. Therefore, arms training!” Zahir couldn’t complain; he’d been itching to go into the practice courts all day, and at least he’d know where to find the useless materials next time. QC: by Cassandra

LOL! I love the books you came up with--they're all so perfectly useless and hilarious.

You used the Justin Bieber remark! *hugs*
I love the books. Love love love.
Jon seems a little more...sane...here. Hopefully that's a good thing? *reads on*
