"Baby Series 3"

Curiosity And Cats

"Ah. Unexpected."

"Something wrong?"

Wu Fei stood at the window overlooking the main approach to the palace and he looked decidedly uncomfortable to Milliardo. On the floor Stephen clutched the cloth ball to him, watching with bright eyes the flicking tip of a small tail protruding from beneath the couch.

Nelson had not emerged from his sulk in all of the time it had taken the King and his liaison with Parliament to discuss the business scheduled for their early meeting. Both men found it highly entertaining as, every now and then, a decidedly kittenish growl issued from beneath the couch and the pace of the twitching tail would pick up in cat fury.

With their business concluded Milliardo had invited Wu Fei to take morning tea with him, an offer that had been graciously accepted and whist they waited Wu Fei had stretched his legs, wandering around the room until he paused by the window.

"Guests."

A tired sigh from the King told him clearly Milliardo expected a visit from someone of importance and saw his peace escaping him.

"Winner and Barton have arrived… in separate vehicles."

Milliardo strode over to the window to brush aside the curtain. It was glorious outside, pristine blue and with a degree of warmth in the air. A brief sign of the spring to come.

"Now what would bring them here… and in such a rush?"

Wu Fei was far from curious. Winner would not present himself at the palace to see him, knowing that at the present time, though a truce was in effect, they were hardly on the best of terms. Wu Fei was of the opinion Quatre needed to keep his nose out of other people's business, particularly their personal lives.

If he chose to pursue Milliardo then it was his business and Milliardo's, not Quatre Winner's. He needed to look to his own relationship before he meddled in other people's affairs.

"I have noticed a certain… tension… between you and Quatre of late."

Dark eyes flashed fire and he turned from the window. "It is nothing and it will remain nothing, provided Winner learns to keep his nose out of my affairs. Duo calls him Kitty Kat and like a cat, Winner has too much curiosity. And we all know what curiosity did to the cat."

The taller man sighed softly and returned to his seat, scooping the kitten up into his hands as Nelson crept from beneath the couch.

"I am sure he has only your best interests at heart."

"Perhaps, but I am capable of making my own decisions, regardless of whether or not time proves them to be a mistake or a success."

"Sometimes it is hard to tell meddling from caring."

"Winner believes only he can see the way ahead. He will trip over his own feet if he does not look down occasionally. I am not perfect and I am content enough not to be."
