Title: Rumor Has It Rating: PG Word Count: 205 Pairing: A/J Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: You can never be too careful. AN: Because it's my birthday and I do what I want Rumors, when they started, were hard to quash. Saying had it that the walls of the Palace were held up by the wind of flapping lips and wagging tongues; certainly, the buzz of words hidden behind hands and spoken in dark corners gave a sense of truth to the saying. However, if the Palace was held up by rumors, the Lower City fairly thrived on falsehoods and maybes, on chances and perhapses. Folk of the Lower City all but consumed the “what-ifs”, breathing in the words until gossip flowed through their veins, their very lifeblood. George eyed the room spread before him, taking in the rogues, the thieves, the gamblers that danced to his tune. In the back, a familiar copper bright head diced with the lowest scum in the city. Another head looked up from the game, bright blue eyes catching his with a sharp look. Turning back to his cousin, George asked Rispah, “Really?” The buxom Queen of the Rogue chuckled and leaned in. “Aye, milord. ‘Parently, some-un got an eyeful of Page Alan an’ young Jonny earlier this evenin’, lockin’ lips an’ mashing faces in some back-alley.” George bit back a smirk. They really did have to learn the meaning of “subtlety”. |

I love your phrasing in the first two paragraphs. And yeah, Alanna and Jon forgot that thieves lurk in backalleys.

Ha, so delightful! George's POV was the perfect angle to hear the gossip from! (P.S. Happy Birthday! Hope your day has been wonderful to you!)

'lockin' lips an' mashing faces' is possibly the best description of kissing that I've heard in a while.
Also, I hope George is jealous. Because I feel a little bit cruel that way.

I find this way too funny and cute. Of course, even when you're joking about "subtlety" and "lockin' lips" you still manage to throw in beauties like However, if the Palace was held up by rumors, the Lower City fairly thrived on falsehoods and maybes, on chances and perhapses. Folk of the Lower City all but consumed the “what-ifs”, breathing in the words until gossip flowed through their veins, their very lifeblood.

Now you've got me wondering if it's just me, or if Jon's actually there too
