How Do You Sleep? “What do you want, Wu Fei?” Dark brows dropped into a classic scowl, onyx eyes flicking to the young man seated on the couch with a sketch pad on his knee and pencil poised. “I told you what I wanted, Duo. A building that captures elements of the clan’s history to house the memories of our past. It must also be a statement that what is past is only a part of the whole. We will be starting again, effectively a rebirth of what it means to be a part of the clan. Our future will not lie in immersing ourselves in our past traditions but the memory must be available to us so that we do not forget. It should be a design incorporating traditional aspects but clear indication of the future much be represented.” Chang glanced at the list of names resting near his elbow. He kept it close to remind him of why he was taking this step and wondering if perhaps he was being presumptive. “I would have thought it too soon to design the community center?” “That wasn’t exactly what I meant. I understand what you want the design of the building to reflect but that’s not what concerns me. Look, I’ll be blunt and I’m probably speaking out of turn but I think it needs saying. I’ve watched Sexy Zechsy and this King deal is killing him slowly. It might have meant the rebirth of Sanc as a nation but it sure as hell will kill the man. Maybe not physically but inside the man is hurting bad.” “He has not been permitted to mourn his wife.” a whisper. “One needs to mourn.” “Yeah, but I think it’s more. A man needs more than work to fill his days. He’s working himself hard just so he can sleep at night and its not working well. For hours he walks the halls at night.” “How would you know Milliardo roams at night?” “Because we nod to each other in passing.” Duo set aside the sketch pad. “How do you sleep? I don’t see you roaming the hallways in the dead of night so you must get a decent night’s sleep.” Chang sighed, seeming to deflate and glared accusingly at the scattered papers spread before him on the coffee table. They had been working for hours on the outline of a presentation to the King petitioning him for a selection of land and the right to construct a village for the survivors of L5’s destroyed colony. “I do not.” “Eh?” “I do not sleep. I meditate instead of wandering in the dead of night.” Duo considered the man for a long moment, considering carefully before he sighed. “You should join us in the kitchen for tea and hot chocolate. The chef got fed up with us raiding his cupboard and leaves out snacks for us now. There is always more than just the two of us can eat and Yuy only rarely joins us.” End
