Efficiency The scowl was reminiscent of the approach of a tempest, a raging storm of elements that would lash the unwary with the honesty of nature. Quatre spread his fingers in a gesture that halted the angry torrent of words. "I know who and what I am, Chang Wu Fei. From the day of my birth I was trained to take on the task of managing others. I am a strategist. I have been trained to make the best and most efficient use of resources placed before me." "Resources! We are talking about flesh and blood, Winner. How dare you see people as objects for your amusement ?" "Oh, I am far from amused. That old man who follows Relena around like a shadow frightens me. What he revealed to me and I have taken to Une will give us back to chaos … if it is not handled delicately. I stand as a guard against chaos and I am not the only one. That girl in there is called the White Dove of Peace and I know she is heartily sick of it and the never ending duties. We all have our duty, Chang and though we might not like it we do it. Why? For the greater good. Merquise … Peacecraft is another being drawn back into the murky realm of International politics." "Peacecraft is dead. He left world shaking behind when he died on Libra. Zechs Merquise is a virtual prisoner with no place in politics." "Consider Peacecraft resurrected. The day Noin became pregnant the game changed and his fate was sealed. The Lamb can lay down with the Lion and the Wolf, Chang." "And which is Merquise? The Lion or the Wolf?" "Neither." Chang gasped. "You are not sacrificing him for your ambitions! I will not permit it." Blue green eyes hardened and stared with an intensity that was almost painful. Delicate fingers curled near his chest and something flickered across his face. "I see. I suppose I can get you removed from the team assigned to his protection." "You …" "He needs a bodyguard, not a lover. You know as well as I that the two don’t mix. Maybe a personal aide? I’ll see what I can do to keep you close to him and still keep him protected." Quatre shook his head, silencing Chang’s protest. "We are soldiers fighting to maintain peace. Relena’s not the only Dove and she can’t do this alone. We need to take a more active part. All of us, Chang." "That is not the life he desires for himself or his son. He won’t agree to it." "His options are limited . This way he is not at the mercy of any politicians out to prove a point. At what point would he limit his actions to see Stephan protected?" "Bastard." "I can be a cruel bastard when I need to be. So I’m the bastard. What will your role be?"
