Summary: an early morning conversation.

"Stay," he says.

"I can't," she answers.

"Just a few minutes," he prompts.

"It's almost dawn. Someone will see me," she explains.

"Just servants," he scoffs.

"Who will talk. The whole palace will know." She wiggles away from him.

"Not if I order them not too. I am the king; you know." He reaches to pull her back, closer to him.

Her turn to scoff," Even you can't stop gossip."

"I could try. I make you obey me well enough." He tickles her ribs.

"That's what you think," she laughs and swats his hand away. "Quit it!"

He stops. "Please stay."

She sighs. "Please don't make that face at me."

"Just a little while?" he pleads.

"I can't."

"Why?" he asks, like she hasn't just explained.

"Servants, your wife, my friends, the rest of the court," she lists. "Stop stalling."

He sighs now. "Fine, go." He watches as she dresses quickly, laughing when the shirt gets stuck on her head.

"Bye," she says pecking him on the cheek.

"Bye."

As Kel walks down the hallway to her room yawning, Jon pulls the covers up over his head, to catch a few more minutes of sleep.
