I'm really, really sorry for the long wait! And it isn't long. I wish I could say you could kill me if you want, but I like my life to much for that. I wan't hold you up.
I promise I'll try to come with the next chapter soon.
Love you all!


Chapter 10:

Jon looked after the soldier. What was that about? Sometimes she really is hard to understand. He sighed Just come back whole Alanna, that's the only thing I ask for, then I'll be happy. He looked the hall over. Why the hell do I have to be king? No one will let me go out and look at it. I have to hear how she is, but they don't have time to tell me. (A.N: I know Jon is way OOC) He suddenly looked up, a smile on his face. The soldier said she had told him to go and tell us. Then she must be alive! He sat straight and looked with new interest on the court. Thayet came up to him, "What do you think of? You seemed quiet bored and then you seemed to live up. And you have a big smile on you face, you know." She looked questioning at him. When he didn't look at her she stepped nearer and waved a hand discreetly in front of him. "Hello, Jon? Will you please answer me instead of just sitting there and look at the court eating?" He seemed to snap out of his thoughts and looked at her. Thayet smiled. "What is it that disturb you? You know you can say it to me." His brow tightened and the smile faded.

"Oh, it's nothing my dear, nothing at all."

"Yes it is. You really don't act like yourself. Actually, you haven't acted like yourself since Alanna…"

"Will you please keep quiet a moment?!" Jon hissed, "I just have much on my mind! That's all!" Which isn't all a lie. What is wrong with me? Thayet looked like she didn't believe him, but she nodded her head miniscule and turned.

"I don't know what's wrong with you Jon. But when you want to share it with me," she paused a second. "you can just come to me. I will listen." She left to her place where she talked with George.

Jon sighed and turned back to his food. What the hell have I done wrong? He looked at the food like it was poisoned and didn't eat anything. He sat like this for the next half an hour and just looked at the court eating. When most had finished eating he rose, nodded to the court and left quickly.

Thayet

Thayet looked after Jon as he left. What is wrong with him? She looks back at George who talked to her, she then realized that he had asked about something. "Huh? Sorry, I didn't get it." She looked down at the teller in front of her.

George smiled, "I said, do you listen to me? But you don't need to answer I think you already have given me the answer" He grinned when she blushed and looked down again.

"I just thought about Jon. He is acting weird lately." She looked up at him again. "Or is it just me?"

"No, I don't think it just is you." He took the last piece of bread and rose. "Sorry I gotta go." He rose, nodded to Thayet and left.

Thayet sighed and finished her trade. Does Alanna have anything to do with this? For Goddess sake he's my fiancé and I can't make him tell me what's wrong! But maybe it's because he is my fiancé he want tell me what's wrong. She rose and took her tray to the dishes. I should talk to Alanna when she comes back. She could have some answers. She left to find Buri.

George

George walked down the corridor. I'm an ex-thief! And I can't figure out what is wrong with one of my best friends! I'm a pore thief! My fiancée is in battle so I can't even be together with her. He turned a corner and saw the door to his room. He went inside and took to nearest chair after the door was shut. I really need to talk with someone who feels lonely too. Suddenly he got an idea and sprang out of the chair, left the room, slammed the door after him and ran down the corridor, turned at the end and ran back to lock to door and continued his pace.
