Title: Wax Doll Paradox II Rating: PG Word Count: 176 Pairing: Alanna/Jonathan Round/Fight: 3A Summary: She never gets past the door. AN: Another Paradox prompt, #2; "Alanna does not finds the Wax Dolls"
Her fingers throb, broken and bleeding. Alanna cradles them to her chest; lets Jon bandage them again for her.
He doesn’t ask where the new burns on her fingertips come from, an odd compliment to the shredded state of her hands, and Alanna doesn’t offer. The events in the Chamber of the Ordeal, her memories, have dulled with exhaustion and she doubts Jon will take kindly to such a vague “hunch”.
She’ll need to replace her lock picking set when she visits George in the city, the next time she goes.
A week later, able to bear the sensation of leather gripped in her hands, Alanna swings into the saddle and accepts her shield from Jonathan, the black tower of Trebond on its red field harsh in the weak winter sun. He hasn’t convinced her not to go, and the few words they exchange in the stable yard aren’t enough to make her reconsider either.
Sir Alan rides out of Corus in search of adventure, anywhere the road will take her.
