A Matter of Acceptance "How long?" Pagan watched the younger man with inscrutable eyes. He had been uncertain how the news would be taken, but thus far it was quietly; expressionless face, no inflection in his voice. Chang Wu Fei played his cards close to his chest at the best of times and this was notably not the best of times. "The end of March. I thought it best to give us time to arrange suitable accommodations for the individuals involved. The weather shall have improved and be less prone to extremes." Chang nodded. "I had wondered if anyone would respond." Now he knew. Yes. They had responded to the invitation; individuals seeking to recreate the clan, to become once again a part of the structure that had survived for thousands of years. It would be an uphill battle… no, it would be a treacherous mountain slope, making them a part of Sanc, but he must scale it. His kin not only needed to accept their place within Sanc, but the native Sancian's had to accept them in turn. "They will not be pleased." "Sir?" He had said that aloud? He had not meant to, but it was the truth. Those who came to New Port City expecting a return to the old ways would not be pleased with his plans. "Those who come expecting the restoration of the traditional Clan will be… disappointed. I do not intend to recreate a duplicate copy of the old structure. It will not be easy, I know this, but I am determined to forge something new. Something different." Pagan settled himself into the seat across from Chang and waited. He had wondered what plans the man had been entertaining; plans he would need to assist with to become reality. The smooth operation of Sanc was vital to the security of the Peacecrafts and gave him a plausible excuse to dabble in many pies. The arrival of the survivors of the Clan was simply another pie for him to sample. "Milliardo has gifted land to the Clan to construct a place they may call their own. I have it in mind to construct a cultural centre, one which will incorporate the history of the Clan and the history of Sanc. I wish it to be a symbol of the heritage of both cultures. It will be a beginning. We must not be a place apart from Sanc, but a place within; belonging to Sanc. We must find employment and become self supporting within the society of Sanc with all haste. What Milliardo invests in us, I would have us return five fold to Sanc." "Such matters take time, Mr. Chang." "They do, but I shall be an example of the way
we must walk. I will be the Chang of Chang, but I am the King's Liaison
to Parliament, and I will remain in that capacity. We must fit in,
not sit apart, and to be honest, Pagan, I enjoy my job." ~ * ~ |
