Over Green Tea “Ambition can be a good thing, taken in context if it is not permitted to be the singular driving force in your life. There are other matters of equal if not greater importance that require as much attention to succeed in life.” Wu Fei pressed his forehead to the icy cold glass of the window and sighed. “What am I trying to convince myself to do? I do not wish to leave Sanc, even for a short time. I am more than content here though I have not achieved it I am closer to my desire than I have ever been. This is good, but do I really know what I want?” “Do any of us truly know what we want, Chang Wu Fei?” The old man had a knack for sneaking up on people and was always just that life saving distance from his prey. Pagan never did anything on the spur of the moment, he planned his every action, including the safe distance to be standing before startling a man with killer reflexes. Wu Fei calmed himself. “Once I might have been young enough to answer yes.” “But now you are older and wiser.” Pagan set the tray he carried on the desk. “Green tea, Mr. Chang. I believe we need to talk.” “About?” “Your performance last night.” Pagan settled himself into the seat facing the desk and watched as the shorter man left the window. “I believe an explanation is required.” “Not an explanation but certainly an apology.” Wu Fei bowed before settling into his seat. “I have no excuse for my behaviour.” “We all have an excuse, be it a good one or not for our behaviour. When one holds a position of importance one cannot indulge in temper tantrums at whim, no matter the provocation.” “I know this. I have considered handing in my resignation.” “I hardly believe a temper tantrum sufficient reason for resigning, particularly a tantrum thrown for the trivial reason this one was.” “Trivial!” “Is it so shocking to learn one is loved by a member of the same sex who may not be the source of one’s own desires? Yes, I know what it was you overheard. If the most shocking thing you ever hear within the borders of Sanc is Duo Maxwell loves you, I hardly think you have cause to complain.” “Are there no secrets in this damnable palace?” “Many secrets, Mr. Chang. More than you can ever know. Exactly what is your problem with knowing you are regarded by Mr. Maxwell in a favourable light?” “I… I am his teacher! I have a responsibility to instruct him in a fashion where personal involvement has no place.” “I was under the impression the lessons you give concern ancient secrets handed down within your clan. Why then do you instruct Mr. Maxwell?” “He… There are… There is no one else to teach.” A whisper. “With all respect, Mr Chang, that is bullshit and you know it.” End
