An Understanding “A word, if you would, Duo.” Large eyes widened as he looked up from the plans spread over his desk. Officially this was a rest day, giving them the opportunity to recover from the excesses of the night. A well deserved rest before the second function of the season the next evening. He had been uncomfortable being idle, so he had decided to spend some time looking over the latest draft modifications to the power plant. The last person he had expected to disturb him was Chang Wu Fei. “Sure. Ah, come on in. Can I get you something?” “No. I would like to speak with you.” “About?” Wu Fei settled on the chair facing the desk and barely glanced at the blue prints. “You are content to work here? To remain resident within Sanc?” “Yeah. Why?” “You do not wish to return to the colonies? To L2?” Fine fingers began to twist the tip of his braid. “Why should I?” “I thought you might have wished to return when the war ended. It was your home.” “Nah, not really. I left there when I was a little kid. The Sweepers were more my home but I wanted to try something else. Look for a chance to find something different.” “I see. I have spoken to Pagan and he has given me the report on the survivors of my clan. I wanted to say thank you for giving me the chance to restore something I thought irretrievably lost.” “You’d have looked for them. When you were ready.” “I am not so certain I would have. I have been running and I wish to run no more. I have had the chance to look about me and appreciate what I have. I think it would benefit me and certainly my people, if there was a place we might call home. A place where we remember the past though not allow it to stop us from moving on.” Duo frowned. “That’s good, I guess, but what does this have to do with me?” “I intend to petition the King to make a grant to the survivors of the clan. A place where we might settle within the borders of Sanc. It is my hope to construct a museum and teaching center so that our past is not entirely lost. I would like you to design it.” “Design… Ahm. I guess I could but why me?” “You cared enough to seek them out and I have come to understand you too seek new roots. I thought we might go forward and develop a greater understanding of each other." Duo blinked, eyes wide as he considered the shorter man seated before him and the implications in what had been said. Perhaps he was mistaken. “I think I would like to increase my understanding of you, Wu Fei.” “It would please me to try. Perhaps you would consider assisting me in putting together a proposal to present to Milliardo?” End
