Reassurance “Are they … Will they …. Pagan?” Princess and Vice Foreign Minister for the ESUN she might be but at this time she was only a young woman who stood to lose not only her brother but a potential consort who held her heart. Relena seemed unaware her hands were clasped tightly before her and that her fingers were white with the pressure of her desperate grip on herself. “His Majesty is no stranger to poor weather and I have every confidence he can find shelter. As for the other young men, they are equally as resourceful.” Not exactly what she wanted to hear but not what she desperately did not want to know either. The searchers had returned empty-handed and fear had gripped her. //Heero … Milliardo … You have to be alright.// Pagan drew aside the heavy curtains from the window and stared out into the blizzard at endlessly falling snow driven by high winds. The storm would be with them for perhaps a week and he could only hope this was not the birth of the rarer killer storm that would lock Sanc in ice for a month. “Heero does not know much about Earth weather.” She whispered. “They are all colony-bred and have never lived through a Sanc winter before. I’ve been on the Colonies when Sanc has experienced blizzards in the past.” What could he say to that? It was, after all true that the busy schedule of the young politician kept her away from Sanc for much of the year. Her presence this Christmas was due to the King taking local matters from her delicate hands thereby relieving her work load. The siblings worked well together to Sanc’s benefit. “The weather is easing.” Pagan turned from the window and bowed. “I shall arrange a search party. You brother knows local conditions enough to detect the change and know it is his best chance to reach the palace. I have every confidence I shall return with them.” “You? Are you sure you should be going out there?” The elderly gentleman bowed to her and his moustache hid his smile. “Who better, Your Highness? I know the grounds and every possible cover to be had. That we did not locate them before gives me a fair indication of where they may be and something tells me I will find them all together.” Relena drew a steadying breath. “Be careful Pagan.” “I shall ensure their safe return. Your brother has survived other storms and he will survive this and bring the young men back with him. He will expect searchers out and hopefully, if for some reason they are unable to return unassisted I expect he will light a lantern to guide us to them.” “A lantern? It would need to be a very bright lantern to shine through this.” Relena whispered. End |
