Title: Orange Rating: G Word Count: 116 Pairing: Jon/Zahir Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: A snapshot of everyday life for the king and his squire. Author's Note: So I'm being not very original and doing a series inspired by the colors of the rainbow. Some of the connections are direct, some not. They're pretty loosely tied together and stand on their own.
~~~~~~
Edged in shadow and awash in candlelight, even the king's apartments could appear cozy. Zahir curled up on a chair, listening to the constant scratching of Jon's quill, absently working grease into his tack. The earthy smell and the feel of the supple leather in his hands comforted him, all blending together in a rhythm that seemed too domestic for the life of the king's squire.
“Do you ever stop working?” he queried, voice slightly slurred with lack of sleep.
Jon smiled, pulling out a new feather and a trimming knife. He shaped the quill with swift, practiced strokes, his ink-stained fingers testing the point before continuing with his writing.
“Not really,” he replied.

Oh... it's so cozy inside this fic here! *fic blanket on shoulders* It's a little melancholy, too, which is beautiful, with what Jon's response...

I love this! Can this count as curtain-fic? But anyway, I love this peek into a nice, normal, quiet moment in their knight-squire relationship!
