Aspects Trowa watched as the famous temper sparked. He had not expected Chang to immediately see the reason lying beneath his words. "Far from it. He's all man with a great deal of history and more pain than you could possibly imagine." Wu Fei snorted. "So I have led so sheltered an existence I object to breaking a fingernail? I was a Gundam Pilot, Barton. I witnessed my wife die and the destruction of my home. I fought in the war and I killed as you did. I admit I have made mistakes. Mistakes help us to grow." "I'm not denying that. Think about who he is. Think about his past and the destruction and death he witnessed as a child. You had a far kinder upbringing. You have to survive that kind of hell to understand it. Maxwell did so he would understand. You were reared to a noble heritage, as was Milliardo, originally in Sanc and later as Zechs Merquise, ward to the Kushrenada family. Tradition was big in both of your lives. Duo could not understand that aspect of him." Chang scowled, hunching his shoulders against the deepening chill. He could not move, his body frozen, listening intently to Trowa's voice. "You all lived the war, you all killed and you all have regrets. We all do. You lost your wife because of the war and he lost his lover to the war. Common ground for both of you. I don't know if Duo lost anyone intimately involved with him or not. Zechs accepted a position in White Fang and you accepted a position in Barton's forces. Both were considered to be the wrong side in each conflict. You have those mistakes and decisions in common." "I think you will find he does not consider joining White Fang a mistake." "Not any more than you still consider the reasons for joining Dekim Barton a mistake at the time. It's a learning process we all have to go through to find the silver lining promising a future." "Will you ever reveal your point in all of this, Barton?" "That's a lot of man in there, Chang, full of passion and experienced in things you and I will never know. He's lost a lot, more than you and I combined. He's come out of it sane, though others might disagree. Do you place yourself in the same league as Treize Kushrenada?" Confused he stared at Trowa, thinking back over the war and the confusion that always swept through him when faced with the former World Sovereign. "No." He had never had the raw charisma or leadership skills, the human understanding or compassion of the leader of Oz. "My point is are you capable of handling Zechs on your own? Kushrenada might have been able to handle him as he matured and though she thought otherwise I have my doubts Noin could have. Are you confident enough you alone can be everything Zechs needs?"
