Lifestyle "Her Highness has the Smithsfield Presentation at nine thirty with an expected return to the palace by eleven. Given Heero is absent until tomorrow, I have taken it upon myself to request Mr. Chang act as her escort. He has agreed, in his capacity as the Chang of Chang, to escort her." "Did he suggest he go as the Chang of Chang or did you?" Pagan shrugged his shoulders slightly. "I believe it was a mutual understanding that did not require comment from either party. Mr. Chang is well aware he needs to begin presenting himself to the world in that role, not merely to Sanc. His people will be arriving soon enough and he must be acknowledged and accepted in his role." "Has there been any `dissatisfaction' amidst the clan of note?" "There have been a few comments, though nothing of a nature to concern us as yet. Some rumbles from persons concerned with abandoning what they have gained for themselves, namely a position within a satellite clan who took in some of the survivors." "If they like their position so much, they should have thought twice about abandoning it in favour of coming to Earth. Are they likely to cause trouble for him?" "I doubt it, Sir, but I am keeping them under surveillance. I believe it to be concern for the change in lifestyle from traditional, as it was in the destroyed colony, to the more modern and progressive outlook of the adoptive clan. They fear that beneath Mr. Chang there will be a return to the traditional outlook and methods which these particular individuals found to be restrictive." "Do continue to watch them. I think Wu Fei will be able to handle them, but I do not want him placed at risk. The pilots have earned the right to a life of their choosing. Challenges will encourage them to develop and mature, but I see no reason they should be insulted and brought down because of the dissent of those who do not take the time to learn what it is they are seeking." "Indeed, Sir." Milliardo stretched slowly, taking time to relieve the physical aches and pains from his day, his body relishing the moment of relaxation and the luxury of the stretch. He tensed up with each meeting, always expecting trouble, though nothing physical to be a threat to his life. No, he was well aware of how other politicians and leaders saw him and that they expected the worst from him. He might start the day relatively relaxed, but before noon it was guaranteed he would be a series of complex Celtic knots. Three quarters of the day was done but the worst of it still lay ahead and since Relena had Chang's company and Duo was laid up in bed he would face the evening's tasks without preferred company to relieve his tension. ~ * ~ |
