"Baby Series 3"

Drollery

It was something she should have expected Duo to come up with to while away the time. Frivolous, light hearted, nonsensical. He was trying to amuse her and it was cute.

"Let me see then. A joke."

"A jest," Wu Fei responded immediately.

"Jocularity."

"Jocularity?! Maxwell, is that a real word?"

"Perfectly legal word, Heero. Your turn."

"Hnnn."

"Jocularity is in the dictionary, Heero," Relena murmured, smiling as she acknowledged the attention from the ballroom below, one hand resting on the balcony railing, enjoying their word games.

"Fine. Gag."

"Jape."

Duo eyed Wu Fei, considering questioning that one, but Wu Fei had been training to be a scholar and he was extremely well read. Heero was eyeing Chang too, but seemed just as unsure about challenging the choice.

"Wit." Duo beamed and glanced at Heero expectantly.

"Humour."

The strains of the waltz drifted up from the ballroom and Relena eased her feet from her shoes carefully. She had a few minutes respite before she was required to rejoin the gathering celebrating her departure from her former position. How had they started this game? How had she become involved? Still, her participation was only to provide them with the topic to be pursued and she was enjoying the harmless bit of fun.

"Humorous anecdote."

"Hey, big words, Fei." Duo grinned, winking at Relena when she smiled. "Ah, witticism."

"Antic." Heero stepped closer to the railing and cast his gaze over the gathering, checking on the placement of guards around Milliardo and the people in his vicinity.

"Drollness."

"Er… drollness?" Duo eyed Wu Fei. "Shouldn't that be droll?"

"I say what I mean, Maxwell," Chang responded.

"Well… arse around."

Relena pinked, highly amused by Duo's rather inventive response.

"Keep it clean," Heero warned. "Drollery."

Wu Fei nodded his approval. "Prank."

"Arse about."

"Duo! You've already said that one and I told you to keep it clean."

Duo scowled at Heero and winked cheekily at the snickering Relena. "Hey, it's perfectly clean on L2 and I said `arse around' last time."

"Hnnn. Keep it clean," Heero growled. "Tease."

"Wittiness."

"Running out of words, Chang?" Heero smirked.

"Far from it, Yuy." Wu Fei smirked. "Maxwell?"

"Pull the other one."

Relena giggled softly, wishing she did not have to call a halt to this interlude. She had enjoyed herself but unfortunately the waltz was dying and she was to be on the dance floor for the next dance. "Time, gentlemen. We have to go back down."

"But Heero never got to come up with one to keep it even," Duo protested.

"Fool."

"Hey, I told you before I am not a fool!" Duo glared at Heero.

Heero rolled his eyes. "That was my word, baka!"
