Positions Vacant An old woman sat on the garden bench, a dark somehow Earthy figure bathed in the light of the moon. Another two days and the moon would be at full and hopefully by then Zechs would be released. The hospital was not the best place for the man at this time. If he could take Zechs back to the safe house he could better keep an eye on the comings and goings of the officials. They were exhausting him. Surely Sally must protest. She kept others away and snarled at him periodically but it seemed every time his back was turned the politicians descended on his charge. It was not good enough. "Wu Fei. Can we talk?" He offered a small polite bow to the Princess who moved to the hard uncomfortable chair he had been avoiding. His backside hated hospital chairs. "What can I do for you?" Relena looked decidedly uncomfortable. For a long moment she stared out the window and finally turned to face him. "I was hoping I could convince you to make a career choice." //Winner! I will slit his throat, disembowel him and feed his entrails to the sharks.// "Don’t look like that, Fei. I … There are few people I trust just now. Sally is furious and I have to do something before Sanc needs to hold elections again. She will do someone a mischief if I don’t do something about the unauthorized visitors disturbing Brothers rest." "I am …" "A Preventer and his bodyguard. I think that needs to change. Surely you want more from your life than to guard other people? There are others who can guard his body. I believe that once you were studying to be a scholar? That is very different to what you are doing now. If you wanted a change …" she hesitated. "What he really needs are people close to him that he can trust. Energetic and intelligent people to take up positions of importance that will relieve the pressure on him. He will need … friends." "I … want to be his … friend." "I know. He will need people who are not afraid to take the initiative with those out to garner what they can from the King. He will want time with Stephan and I can’t see him following traditional practices in that regard. He will need help so that he can have that personal time with his son." "I … care a great deal about Stephan." "He needs a personal liaison. If you were to consider … You would be closer to him than a security detail would place you." Relena looked back to the window. "Almost a full moon. A night for romance for those of us graced with sufficient time for a social life." She was clever, this young woman. Very clever indeed and he should be afraid of her. At the moment there was only the thought of placing himself closer to the future King. "We would need a decision soon. He needs you, Fei."
