place a few minutes after Dragon Flame.
Legendary Dragon // I hope this dinner ends before it is inevitable the dragon of Sancian legend erupts into a flaming outburst.// Heero was careful to keep his dinner partner unaware of his far from casual scrutiny of their fellow diners. The dancing to follow would be the best time to overhear tantalizing snippets of conversation to be reported to Hunter who would initiate investigation for possible threat or advantage to Sanc. He nodded politely to a point raised about the power station in the planning stages to feed Sanc’s growing needs. There had been considerable interest in the development, he had noticed, and it would be monitored as the project grew. He was not, thankfully, seated amid a nest of vapid air heads though that was a mixed blessing. He needed to watch his every word to avoid them making more of comments than actually was implied. So many of these people represented other countries and were involved in world politics. They feared Milliardo as King and would grasp every opportunity to take him down. He supposed in many ways they considered him to be the dragon of legend, powerful and somnolent for many years and upon waking ravaging the countryside devouring all in sight. After his past history he supposed it was unsurprising the man was watched. Few understood what it was Milliardo had been planning though of late that appeared to be changing. It might have helped if Milliardo had answered questions concerning the war but he had refused all interviews even following the publishing of the letter he had written to Relena. //I suppose he could be considered to be a sleeping dragon. Certainly it would not be wise to push him beyond a certain point. He is quiet, settled but not tamed. I doubt anyone would be able to tame him.// Certainly Kushrenada had been unable to though he suspected there had been more to their break up and even to this day Milliardo had not publicly acknowledged there had ever been an intimate relationship with the former World Sovereign. Heero knew there had been a far from platonic relationship but he was one of a limited few. He sipped his wine, careful to nurse the glass. He had work to do and would not cloud his thinking with alcohol. It was imperative he be able to recognize those conversations needing further investigation and for that he needed to be clear headed. “Mr. Yuy. Who is the oriental gentleman seated near the L3 Ambassador? I don’t recognize him.” “Chang Wu Fei, formerly heir to the Long clan of L5.” “The Long Clan? The clan who detonated a colony during the war?” “I believe they were also known as the Dragon Clan.” Lord Richard entered the conversation, drawing the woman’s attention. //You believe, indeed.// Heero mused. //I know why you are here and you don’t stand a chance with Relena. She will see through you and if she doesn’t I’ll turn dragon and singe your arse.// End |
