**fingers tap nervously**
Tournai: Well... Chance, it is nice to
meet you finally. Wynnefred and Kazuhiro-kun speak
very favorably of you.
Chance: **standing up** It's -- it's nice to meet you, too, sir. Erm, how are you today?
Nai: *tries not to smile* I'm very
well, thank you. Please, sit down.
**pause while Chance fishes for something to say**
Chance: Um,
Fenchurch tells me you know a great deal about history... personal and up
close, is how she put it...
Nai: Er, in a
way. The retelling of history is quite different from living in it. I only saw
my own small part, not always what they call "the big picture". Do
you know what I mean?
Chance: But the small parts are interesting... and add up to the big
parts, too... um, I don't mean to sound disrespectful, sir. I like to read
history, is why I asked.
Nai: I'm glad to hear you have an
interest in it, Chance. Since you enjoy reading about it, you must be very
familiar with the concept of the generals perceiving victory or defeat in the
overall battle, while the common soldier sees only what is immediately around
him.
Chance: Yes... for some reason, I thought of Napoleon leaving
Nai: Yes, and it was not the first or
last time a foreign army was left behind to be defeated by a Russian winter, as
I found out later. But Chance... I must tell you, I am more concerned about
your future than I am about my past.
Chance: **straightens** I assume you mean what career I've chosen. Law, sir. But, um, not the
ambulance-chasing type. I'd like -- to be an advocate for children. It's
because my parents had to disappear, and leave us with Ms. Beamlette.
We're lucky, my sisters and I, but there's a lot of kids who aren't, so I'd
like to help them.
Nai: *impressed* That
is a highly commendable goal for you to choose. Especially when other boys your
age often think of nothing more than... well, I'll call them selfish pursuits.
And you are very correct. Not everyone is as lucky as your family... or ours.
You should take advantage of your opportunity to speak to Kaoru-san while you
are here, Chance. He has many of the same goals you do. However... *ahem* I am
also concerned with another aspect of your future. Do you know what I'm
speaking of?
Chance: You mean -- Wynnefred -- don't you?
*blush* I -- it may be too early to say about that, sir!
Nai: I do mean Wynnefred,
but don't worry, Chance, I'm not asking about your long term plans! The two of
you are still very young, and I am pleased to find you are a sensible and
practical young man. It's just that she is my ward while she is here, and I am
responsible for her welfare. However... I believe your
intentions are honourable. Am I correct?
Chance: Yessir! I mean, I would never do
anything that was bad for Wynnefred -- never. She --
she means too much to me for that. Er, but, we're not
so serious yet -- erm... that's all. *blush*
Nai: Yes, Chance, I know... I don't
believe –
Nai: --you have bad intentions toward Wynnefred --
Fred: Nai??!! What do you mean by that??
Chance would NEVER --
Chance: Wynnefred! We were just talking --
it's not what you think... gosh, but you look nice...
Fred: Nai, if you're being unpleasant to
Chance, I'll never forgive you!! He is the kindest, sweetest boy I have ever
met, and I don't want to hear you talking like that about him! He --
Nai: Well, if you would just LISTEN to
him, Wynnefred –
Chance: It's okay, Wynnefred,
really. We had a good talk -- about history, and, um, the present,
didn't we, sir? *smile*
Wynnefred: You... you DID??
Nai: Yes, my dear, we DID. I want to
assure you that I am very pleased with your young man... and I think he is as
special as YOU are. I don't think there could be anyone better for you at this
point in your life, so it's a good thing you found each other.
Wynnefred: WELL!! Miracles never cease!
Wynnefred: *brightens* Do you really
think I look NICE??
Thanks to galatia9 for allowing her story (all but Chance’s dialogue) to
