The Importance Of Dignity Relena smirked. How many times had she watched the masterfully executed gymnastic feat of falling over one's own feet and NOT falling flat on one's face? She had the greatest admiration for Chang's suppleness of body and natural grace teamed with lightening fast reflexes. If it had been her travelling at half the speed she would have landed most ungracefully on her face. She sighed softly and decided enough was enough. She had had her fun, her moment when she could forget who she was and the position she held, and it was time to ensure others did not have a laugh at her friend's expense. Looking up from the monitor she nudged Heero gently, knowing his attention would be focused on the monitor screens tracking the ongoing pursuit through the palace. "You will need to erase this from the record. It would not do for others to witness it, I think. It would be a frightful affront to his dignity for it to be widely seen." Heero's blue eyes were intense as he looked at her and just the hint of a smile twitched at his lips. Very kissable lips, she knew and wished they were alone, even for a few seconds, in the control room. It would not be too unladylike, would it, if she should take advantage of any gift of time that might chance their way? But of course the control room was never unmanned, so the thought was just a thought. Wishful thinking was the extent of the time she would have with Heero in private this night. "Thank you." Puzzled by the intensity in his eyes and in the simple words Relena tilted her head in question, glancing at the guards who were busy on another bank of monitors. Heero had largely taken over the task of monitoring the pursuit and the security guards were attending to the monitors covering palace security. "For what?" "For caring for a friend's dignity." Relena blushed at the finger that lightly traced the curve of her cheek and the gentle smile now openly curving his lips. How many people would ever see Heero Yuy as she was so fortunate to see him? Emotionless, austere, cold… a machine. How often had she heard him described so? How very wrong they were. "Wu Fei, for quite a long time I think, has considered his honour to be the only thing he had left of any value. How could I, in good conscience, see that honour bruised so that people, who certainly do not know him, could have a laugh at his expense?" "You are a good friend, Relena." She beamed but a glint shone in her eyes and she stole a quick kiss, just the lightest of touches of lips to lips. "I could be a good lover too, Heero Yuy. Remember that."
