Rabid Dog “Peace Ambassador to the ESUN?” Milliardo watched his sister with a faintly amused smile. Relena seemed to be tasting the idea with her tongue, rolling the title a time or two to see how it sounded and he received the impression she liked it. “Is that not what King Stephan… Father… was? He made himself a Peace Ambassador to the world and to the colonies.” It was still strange to her to speak of King Stephan as her father. “After a fashion. As much as his duty to Sanc permitted, he advocated Peace in government circles around the world and to the colonies.” “Is it not a role you should fill as the King of Sanc?” Milliardo shook his head. “I am considered a leashed, but still rabid dog. I am the last person they would wish to hear peace preached from.” “Preaching?!” Relena sniffed and looked affronted, but beneath her brother’s smirk she huffed. “So I like to stand on my soapbox and pontificate to the masses. Someone has to.” “Exactly, sister mine. Someone must and you are long associated with the peace process. You are the figure head of the ESUN, you know the right people; how to move amidst their circles and how to get things done. You know you do not have to work specifically for the government, you can work for the little man too.” Relena frowned, looking unhappy. “I try to work for everyone.” “I’m not being offensive, Relena, merely pointing out that you are seen as the representative of the ruling body. Sometimes you need to step back and look at the world from a different perspective. The government needs to see you not as their representative to the people, but as a representative of the people. All of the people, regardless of race, religion or origin, wealth or politics.” “I’m considered the government's tool. Maybe it is time for a shake up in the way I do things. I’d like to know more about this position.” “We need to talk more and not just about politics.” Relena moved to stand over her brother, leaning forward until her nose was just off touching his. “A Peacecraft considered to be a rabid dog? Am I then the government’s tame bitch?” “Bitches can bite too.” Milliardo smiled. “Any dog can learn to bite, given the right conditions.” “I’m supposed to be a pacifist, brother.” “Do you see dogs making war, Relena? I have only ever seen them snarl when there is just cause. A gentle nip is often the way they discipline their pups. Remember too, it is a rare dog that bites the hand that feeds it.” “Did I ever tell you you have a unique perspective on life?” “It comes of being a villain with the intention of shaking up society for the greater good. You find yourself underappreciated.” “Be serious, Milliardo.” “Oh I am, sister, quite serious.” ~ * ~ |
