Misunderstood "So you're gonna buy yourselves a place? Great. Can't wait to see it. Any ideas where yet?" Quatre shrugged eloquently. "We have not really looked at any houses. We have simply made the decision to find a place that suits us." "There's quite a few big houses vacant. I've had occasion to see a few recently.' "You have?" Quatre looked puzzled and Duo supposed he could not blame him. Why was a street rat running around checking out abandoned manor houses in Sanc? Well, he was no longer a refugee from the streets of L2 but a trained and licensed engineer under contract to the King. He had position and some small prestige that he would never have dreamed of in not so long ago days. "Some are pretty swanky places but they have seen better days. Zechsy asked me to check them out and give him a structural report on the ones that have been identified as having no surviving heirs to inherit. The title deeds have been return to the King. He's got plans for the right one, when we identify it. There are enough of the manor's to look at; the alliance really targeted the nobility." "He has plans?" Duo studied Quatre for a long moment. "You got a problem with Sexy?" "I… No. Why should I have?" He supposed he had sounded a little strained, but Duo did not know of his recent interview with the man who now wore the crown. Milliardo had shocked him and he had thought it was not so easy to shock Quatre Winner. "He tends to rub people the wrong way. Doesn't realise he's doing it half the time and you didn't look exactly thrilled to hear his name. He's not a bad guy, you know? Misunderstood is an understatement when its said in the same sentence as his name." "You defend him?" Duo arched an expressive eyebrow as he shifted uncomfortably. He was thinking a nap would go down well, take his mind off the ache in his loins, but not yet. There was something in the way Quatre had reacted to the mention of Zechs that was potentially a bad thing. "Shit, that guy needs no defending, but yeah, I'll defend him when I think I need to. He's not a bad man. Would bad men fix up a place and present it to a bunch of homeless kids, giving them a chance to find something better in life than living on the streets? When I identify the best house for the job it will be converted to a shelter and re-education facility. He's determined to pick up the pieces the Alliance left behind. Sanc needs rebuilding, restructuring and recycling." "A homeless shelter?" "Its only the first he intends to present to the people most affected by the invasion. Some people lost everything. He intends to give them a chance of a decent future." ~ * ~ |
