He Watched Duo’s smirk widened until he was one short point off openly laughing. He could not afford to lose control but the look on Yuy’s face made it difficult. Ahead of them Milliardo swung around, long blonde ponytail flaring with the movement before swinging back to splay over his broad shoulder. In his arms Relena at first looked scandalized but suddenly laughed, a merry, almost little girl laugh. The King inclined his head to Yuy and arched an eyebrow, shifting Relena in his arms so that her bare feet were visible. Yuy looked mollified until the King whispered in the Princess’ ear and with a genuine giggle Relena tossed something in Heero’s direction. Dextrous hands shot out and strong fingers closed around delicate shoes. For a long moment Heero stared at the shoes and looked up in time to see Milliardo’s broad back disappearing through the palace doors. “Come on, Price Charming.” Duo sniggered. “You have to try the shoes on the damsel’s feet.” Wu Fei snorted and nodded absently to the footman holding the car door. He was aware of Maxwell’s amusement and admitted he found the sight amusing himself. He watched the swing of the rope of chestnut hair, sweeping across the tight derrière and the immaculate cut of his suit. He had expected Maxwell to shed his finery the instant he had gained the privacy of the limousine but he looked as fresh and pristine as when they had departed for the dinner. His eyes were inexorably drawn to that swinging plait. Back and forth like a pendulum, its swing measured by the confident stride of the man. Given Maxwell’s lack of breeding and his poor education for much of his life he had expected Duo to fail miserably at the dinner. He knew that was why Duo’s name had not appeared on the guest list but it seemed Hunter was more aware of the virtues of the one time L2 street kid than others. It was the heir to the Dragon Clan who had behaved in an unforgivable manner. He had ignored the tenets of polite society, had caused a scene and embarrassment to the Parliament hosting the dinner, and to the King, the guest of honour. He was the one who should not have been present, not Duo Maxwell who had been the epitome of politeness and charm. His temper had always been his least attractive feature. His lack of patience had been remarked on by the Elders and generally in his hearing. He had to wonder now they were gone how disappointed they had been with their heir. They had needed his bloodlines and in those days circumstances had been stacked against the clan. //For all my faults I still believe the greatest fault lay with the Elders. No matter the circumstances they should not have detonated the Colony. Whilst there is life, there is hope.// End
