Like Bees Need Honey He nodded briefly to the Councilor, wishing the man would wipe the smirk off his face. Did they think they were in grating themselves into Milliardo’s good graces with this farce? The agreement clearly stated the King’s wedded state was not to be of concern to Parliament. Milliardo was settling into the position foisted on him and there would soon be an accounting, and if Milliardo did not act others would in his defence. He slipped through the forest of taller bodies with ease. Europeans generally towered over him in physical stature and the majority of guests were of European decent. He felt exotic but hardly out of place. His own cultured upbringing in a court environment had prepared him for such functions. He could see the oversized vase with its magnificent flower arrangement ahead and he looked forward to resting for a minute or two in the alcove it sheltered. There was a small island of space near the vase created as the spectators crowded closer to the dance floor like honey bees to a flower in search of nectar and he slipped out of the crush with a small sigh. “Did you come straight out and tell Chang he was your interest?” //Heero?// Wu Fei pressed against the wall, dark eyes sweeping the crowd as he tried to determine what he should do. Someone standing a foot away from his position would not hear the hushed whisper. “No time…” //Maxwell?// “Duo. You need to tell him, face to face and actually name him.” //I don’t understand.// “I’m not sure what I will do but I’ll think of something.” “Duo…” “Chang’s got his eyes on Sexy Zechsy and believe me I understand his thoughts. You are sweet on the sister but her brother is worth oogling and lusting after. I’ve got time to see if I can’t gain something out of this.” “Don’t run, Duo. Running will solve nothing and you could have a good future here.” “Yeah, I know. I’ve had enough running so don’t concern yourself. The game is a long way from being finished.” “Loving both Chang and Milliardo is not a game.” Wu Fei spun and made his way along the perimeter of the reception room, dodging around the guests where possible, seeking some escape without causing a scene. //I don’t… Maxwell…// He was startled by the press of bodies and backed a step but a hand touched his arm and Quatre’s voice calmed him. “I think the cloak room is free just now, Trowa. Could you make sure please?” “Winner.” He tried to remove his arm from the firm grasp and found himself pinned by blue eyes. “We need to talk, Chang and we need to do so in private.” “I… need…” //I did not… Duo can’t have meant… No.// “Like bees need honey so do we need to talk.” Quatre Winner smiled graciously at a young woman and escorted Wu Fei out of the reception room.
