Legend of the Seeker fic: White

Title: White
Fandom: Legend of the Seeker
Characters: Cara, mentions Kahlan
Rating: PG
Word Count: 120
Prompt: For the [livejournal.com profile] 100_tales prompt #021 White
Summary: White represents many things, to Cara's mind
Warnings: None

White was the colour of purity; pure as the driven snow, the saying went. White spoke of innocence and beginnings. White was the colour a Mord'Sith wore when they'd trained a pet so fully they need not draw blood to ensure obedience.

White was the colour Confessors wore; the colour of justice. White spoke of being unbiased, neutral. White signified power of a different sort than it did for the Mord'Sith, but they were both signifiers of obedience.

White was the colour of winter, cold and harsh and deadly. It was appropriate for both Confessors and Mord'Sith in many ways.

Cara had always preferred red. But (though she'd never readily admit it) on Kahlan, she thought white looked quite lovely.
