Achoo! "Achoo!" Maxwell sniffed glancing around quickly to see if anyone had heard him. The attention of the security personnel seemed to be on the delegation that was arriving at the manor. He could not say that he was pleased about this arrival at the safe house. The representatives from the Sanc Parliament had not requested clearance to visit the current Master of the House and their unannounced appearance disturbed him. He could smell trouble on the wind, despite the stuffiness of his nose and he had the uncomfortable impression that he was going to have to restrain the man he was here to protect. "Achoo!" "You should take something for that." //Damn.// "Hey, Wu Fei. What's that all about?" He inclined his head to the group of dark suited men making their way into the manor house under the supervision of the on duty security contingent and followed as Chang began moving toward the building. "Trouble I would think." "The Parliament gave permission for him to be in Sanc until things quieted down." "A decision that worried me at the time." Duo blinked and blew his dripping nose hastily as they passed by security guards. He was uncertain if he was developing a cold or had an allergy to something in the garden but whichever it was he was not enjoying the stuffiness in his head. "What do you think is happening if it worries you? Achoo! Ewe. Grose." Duo wiped at his nose and inclined his head toward the house. "You think they are here to kick him out? It's only been a couple of weeks." "Time is ineffectual when you believe you have the upper hand." At the main door Duo froze. "Upper hand in what?" "Do you not think that he is something of a captive audience? They keep advised on his presence within Sanc, be assured of that and they pick their time carefully. The wound has not healed as well as Sally had hoped. He should have remained in a hospital for the first week but circumstances were not conducive to it." "Yeah. I guessed there was a problem from what I overheard yesterday. So ... He has uninvited guests and he's a bit crotchety. You don't think he will take it out on them if they push him, do you?" "I do indeed think such is likely." "Achoo! Shit. That's getting annoying." "Indeed. Take something for it before you spread it around." Chang eyed his companion in distaste. "I will punish you if I begin sneezing." Duo grinned. "Promise?" "You are a masochist." "And proud of it. Achoo!" "Once more Maxwell and I will force the foulest concoction down your throat I can devise." "Sorry. Hate taking medicine. All tastes like shit." "Nothing a spoon full of sugar wouldn't cure." Helen stood in the foyer, medicine bottle in hand. "If you think I am going to permit you to give Stephen a cold you can think again, young man. Shall I fetch the sugar?" End |
