Over Tea And Chocolate "An announcement should be made in short order. The President will not offer Relena a second chance, not if they have someone primed for the position of Vice Foreign Minister." "They do, sir. Martin Longfellow, of British extraction with an exemplary education, with both money and family power to back him. A particularly tenacious individual with designs on the future Presidency and should someone not kill him in the interim, he might succeed in twenty or thirty years time." "Skeletons in his closet?" Milliardo peered into his almost empty and quite cold cup. "A number in the family closet, though to date Mr. Longfellow has managed to keep himself inordinately sweetly scented and clear of debris detrimental to his political future. He has demonstrated a penchant toward single minded tenacity, though to date he listens to his advisors and he appears to have something of an open mind. His mother was born and raised on L1 so he has some sympathies toward the colonies." Milliardo rose, rinsed out his mug and proceeded to make himself another cup of hot chocolate. "Will he prosper as Vice Foreign Minister? Do you want another cup of tea?" "Thank you, sir. Mr. Longfellow will indeed be an adequate replacement for Miss Relena, though he is unlikely to be as well liked in the colonies. He has demonstrated fairness and is pro progressive, so he should continue Miss Relena's push for modernizing the poorer sectors of the colonies. Given the up and coming younger political offerings of suitable experience, he is the best suited to take over her position." Milliardo snorted softly. "If it were not for the war Relena would not have found herself Vice Foreign Minister. She is too young but she managed it remarkably well. She needs a rest or she will have health problems, and I have no intentions of working my sister as hard as she has been required to work over the last seven years. I want her schedules varied, interesting and productive, but not exhausting." "Indeed, sir, the Princess is in need of a slower pace." "We just can't tell her it is for her health." Milliardo set tea in front of the old man and settled into his seat with his hot chocolate. "She will not take kindly to being coddled." "There is much for her to do as Sanc's representative to the ESUN." "It will not be without its challenges," Milliardo agreed. "And there is the small matter of her courtship to consider. I don't want a palace overrun by vultures again, Pagan." "Has sir opted for a particular young lady to become Queen then?" Milliardo glared. "Then sir had best think about a partner, or partners, to be accepted in an intimate fashion and let it be known discretely, otherwise the palace will constantly be inundated with potential partners." "Pagan." It was a growl. "We are discussing Relena and Heero." "Indeed, sir." ~ * ~ |
