Ja'far kept staring at me all night...

It couldn't be that he'd changed his mind, had he?

"You're not regretting it, I see."

I thought it's pity in his eyes, but what for?

"Or perhaps you haven't heard it yet..."

Now it's obvious he's pitying me. What was it?

"[He] chose Koen to be his king."

Wasn't that...kind of sudden? It was just a few days ago that he...

Well, it's true that [he] had said it.

[[ Say yes. I have to choose my King soon. Say yes, Sinbad. ]]

I hated ultimatum, and he knew it.

His face then, when the "no" slipped from my mouth, I hadn't paid it much thought.

So he chose Koen.

You're right, Ja'far. I was not regretting it.

This pain, this rage, they were much, much worse.

/end/

This is every kind of random, but I *love* Judal and haven't gotten enough of SinJu to suit my needs. (;w ;

I think there's another update coming soon. This was planned as connected drabble after all.

If the writing style was a bit strange to you, I'm trying to imitate mobile novel. Does it work?
