Of Past And Future Blessedly, it was ending. Only a few minutes and she could escape to throw her shoes across the room and rest aching feet. Only a few more minutes she had to be the centrepiece and put up with the niceties of the court. Tomorrow they would begin to leave and the palace could resume normal activities and she must face the necessities of her position as an ESUN Minister. She still had the decision on her future to make. Not an easy decision, but one she could not ignore and at least her mother would be there to help her understand her own mind. Heero would be a large factor and she was not enamoured with the idea of travelling around the ESUN for nine months of the year, as she would do if she accepted the position offered her. There had to be something else; something more in life than the constant travel. She had always travelled it seemed. Her father had been a diplomat, a man who spent more time travelling than at home with his family. Did she want to keep that schedule? She had hated it as a child and if she dedicated herself as he had, would she ever have a family? If she managed to have a child, how much of her family would she see? //Not here, not now. Neither the time nor the place.// Her mother was smiling and looked tired, but so did many of the other guests. It was late and to her the night seemed never ending. Even the younger participants were looking frazzled and would no doubt be glad of their beds. There were only a few debutants who were too excited to feel their exhaustion. One final waltz. One last dance and it would be done and she could gracefully retire. She would need to see her brother and ensure he was well. Then she could rest. It still amazed her that she had a brother. It had been Noin who had revealed the identity of the Oz officer. Zechs Merquise the Oz ace was Milliardo Peacecraft. How had he become that other person? How had it all led to Libra and the letter he had never intended she read? It had been a moment of weakness, she suspected. A moment when the weight of what he was about to do had rested too heavily on his shoulders. He had wished someone to understand what he did and why. A letter written to a sister he hardly knew, from a fortress he intended to destroy a few hours later. Libra might have been the death of him. He had stood strong against her when she almost ruined what he was doing by arriving at Libra. What had he thought when she appeared? She had called him a fool and ordered him around as though he were a two year old. Some days she wondered how he could even look at her. ~ * ~ |
