34: Dragon
He was like a completely different man this afternoon. He was pleasant, inviting and actually the little he told about his own home sounded quite interesting. In fact, it had been Duo who'd somewhat been the negative factor in the whole affair. He wouldn't stop making snide comments every now and then no matter how many 'looks' Wufei gave him for that. But Milliardo remained the gentleman and either did not respond to them or tried to make them into a nervous joke.
It had been an awkward end of the tour and just thinking back on it made Wufei feel a little embarrassed. Embarrassment was not something he was very used to, his pride usually prevented him from feeling like that, instead making him feel anger towards the other party for not behaving as they should have. Milliardo, however, had been the perfect gentleman.
It made him think back again of that letter Milliardo had given him months ago. Back then he'd found it a little strange that the man had done something so outdated as writing a letter, but seeing him today strolling through that garden that had been designed ages ago, it seemed to suit him a lot better. Today he had not seen the arrogant man he knew from his work as a preventer, today he'd seen the man that was truly behind that mask.
Or was he prejudged now because he believed the contents of that letter?
