One Lump Or Two “I presume there is a reason for this early morning visit?” Relena smiled sweetly as she watched her brother belt the robe to his narrow waist. She could not deny that he would be considered a tasty morsel by any healthy female and indeed if he was not her brother she would seriously enjoy ogling him. Personally her tastes ran to somewhat shorter messy chocolate-haired males with fathomless blue eyes who told enchanting fairytales and was willing to become a conspirator with his soon to be fiancée. //I really can’t see what any of these soon to arrive suitors will have that Heero won’t. He’s so sweet, like pure sugar sitting on the tongue. Mmmm. That reminds me. It is high time Mr Yuy got down to the serious business of kissing me. I’ll have to work on a suitable opportunity.// “Earth to Relena? Anyone home?” “Comedy does not become you, Brother. Now sit yourself down. Pagan will be here in a few minutes with tea and I intend to enjoy a quiet cup with you.” The valet exchanged glances with the king, sensing dismissal and personally thankful the King was kind enough to permit him to escape what was sure to be a lecture from the Princess. The palace staff knew it was coming. The young woman had been storming around for almost two days waiting for the doctor to determine the King was recovered sufficiently for her to discuss her concerns with him. Relena imperiously pointed to the two high backed chairs positioned near the window and scooted herself into one, ignoring protocol and seating herself before the King. When not in public both siblings were notorious for their informality. With a tired sigh Milliardo moved to join her and settled himself in the chair as a brief knock disturbed the silence. Relena called permission and Pagan entered, efficiently placed a silver tea service and two fine porcelain cups edged in gold on the low table between the chairs. Relena noted her brother’s interest in the tray and particularly in the crystal bowl holding cubed sugar. She knew he preferred granules as one lump was far sweeter than he preferred his tea but she had her reasons. “Thank you Pagan, that will be all.” The old retainer apologized to the King with a look and vacated the room as Relena sat forward to serve the tea. Setting a cup to one side she poured in cream and paused, looking at her brother with a quizzical arched eyebrow with the teaspoon poised over the sugar bowl. “One lump or two?” He frowned but chose not to comment at her apparent forgetfulness. “One.” Relena smiled graciously and thumped Zechs smartly over the head with a cushion. “One it is then.” With her brother staring at her in wide eyed amazement the Princess Royal of Sanc deposited one lump of sugar in the cup, poured in tea, stirred and set it before her brother.
