Nerves //What am I going to do? What do I say?// It had been easier learning to fly a gundam that it was learning how to be social with people. Who did he think he was paying court to the Princess Royal of Sanc? //What am I supposed to say to her?// He was fumbling in the dark and it was not a sensation he enjoyed. What had possessed Relena to ask her mother to spend Christmas and the New Year with them? It was hard enough making himself presentable to polite society without having to face the one person vital to Relena’s peace of mind. Relena had smiled rather coyly and informed him she had invited her mother for Christmas. She had seemed to be waiting for him to say something but exactly what escaped him. Common sense seemed to desert him with Relena’s casual comment he could meet her mother at long last. ‘That’s nice.’ had been so lame. It was stupid really. Heero Yuy did not get nervous to the point of idiocy. A slender, short woman, fair hair greying gracefully and a scattering of freckles across her nose. Undeniably an attractive woman and there was no doubt Relena loved her. It was only natural Relena would want him to make a good impression. He knew he was going to fluff this meeting. It was going to be a disaster. During the dinner Mrs. Darlian’s party would discreetly arrive and after the meal Relena would greet her mother in her assigned suite of rooms. He supposed Milliardo would accompany her though he suspected the King was looking forward to this meeting about as much as he was. Which was to say not at all. //How do you do, Mrs. Darlian. My name is Heero Yuy and I am…I am… In deep shit. Could I get away with saying nothing? Maybe I can nod politely, but I had better not hnn. I doubt Relena would like that. She says I need to talk more and it would hardly be appropriate to grunt at my girlfriend’s mother.// He knew he was wearing a silly grin at the thought. Relena was his girlfriend though there were others angling for the right to make the claim. Who was he to think he realistically stood a chance with the Princess? He had no past, certainly not a past one could speak of openly. His social skills were lacking and barely sufficient to see him carry out any mission required of him during the war. “I can’t do this.” “If I have to, you have to.” Zechs joined him, on the balcony overlooking the snow covered grounds. “You don’t even know what I was talking about.” “Meeting your prospective mother-in-law.” Milliardo looked to the ruins bathed in the fiery glow of sunset. “The same woman who took my sister away from me and left me to burn on yonder hill.” End
