Ensnared He caught a glimpse of white gold hair and a long arm stretched out over the bedding, but little more. He had sampled the flavour of the man asleep in the bed, and he would like to sample a second time. The old man, commonsense and his lingering shock at his own actions worked against him. "By the fire, please." Pagan motioned to the armchairs before the roaring hearth. "Be seated, gentlemen." Duo glanced at the bed, wondering if he might not be able to extricate himself and Chang from a severe dressing down. He had even begun to fear Chang had the right of it and he had gone too far. It was possible the old man would give them their marching orders. "Can I say something?" Duo did not sit, feeling the need to say his piece standing. "You may not." Pagan motioned imperiously at the seat and Duo sat with an ungraceful thud. "Thank you." Expecting to be reamed unmercifully, Wu Fei sat with his back ramrod straight, stoically waiting for the axe to fall on his time at the palace. He would be asked to pack his bags and he needed to determine how to approach the matter of courtship from a distance. Now he had tasted he was ensnared, determined to place a claim. Pagan stood before the hearth, studying the two. Chang looked woeful, undoubtedly certain his days were numbered, and even the incorrigible Duo Maxwell looked worried. "I am pleased you appear to appreciate the seriousness of your actions. Not for one instant can one forget one's station, or more importantly, the station of those we hold dear. I am aware of your interest in each other and of the interest you show in the King." Heavy brows lowered. "There is a time and place for everything, young sir's, and tonight was not the time for kissing the King." Chang blushed scarlet and Duo ducked his head, but Pagan caught the smirk on the elfin face and he centred his gaze on Duo. "A time and a place for everything, Mr. Maxwell. The people around us deserve respect, the living and those who have passed on. Do you think he has recovered from the loss of the Lady Lucrezia? Do you believe him recovered from the loss of Mr. Kushrenada? I assure you he will never 'get over' losing that particular individual. We are approaching the New Year and I believe it to be the perfect opportunity for you to consider the past and the future. Consider the people you knew, those you loved, those you hated. One can not move on without dealing with one's past. Are you serious about a relationship with him? He is King. You will need to face yourselves before you face him and his people. Even being discrete there will be those who know of the relationship. There are always those who know, and there will be talk." ~ * ~
