Entry for snippet Challenge 34: Dragon (1/2)

This is Zechs P.O.V.

Leaving

"… I repeat. Will Sir Kent for shuttle C319K please report to the boarding staff at gate 17? The shuttle can not wait for you. We will proceed to offload your luggage."

I sigh as I can already hear the announcement from behind the ports while I am still in line to get my ticket. The past two weeks have been strange; I had to help Wufei prepare the new agent to take over where I would leave off, a task I doubt he is ready for yet. I had to pack my belongings to move to L1, had to arrange for furniture to be moved there as well. I had to let those I still spoke to know of my sudden transfer and I drove up to Relena last weekend because she demanded I explain in person and say goodbye to her. And of course, there was Wufei.

Someone once told me that if two people are meant for each other, they would find a way to each other.

I stopped believing in fairytales when the war was officially announced.

Another family finished checking in and I am another step closer to L1. I try hard not to think much, but my thoughts keep wondering. For that reason I finally settle on focussing on my new job. As far as Lady Une informed me, the first few months I will be busy organising their files and databases as they have been slacking in that area. Paperwork to introduce me before I am even allowed to go into the field.

I hear someone raise his voice and frown, then strain to hear what is being said.

"… Hell do you expect me to move to the back of the shuttle like this?"

He is silent for a moment.

"No I can not make that!" The male voice comes again, this time louder. "All I am asking is that I may switch with one of the passengers up front."

I move a little out of the line to see who is speaking so loud. No wonder the man does not think he can make it to the back of the shuttle; he is in a wheelchair! More words are exchanged, their voices a little lower then all of a sudden the male seems to get really angry. The muscles on his arm flex and his tattoo of a dragon moves along with it.

"I'll switch with him."

I move out of the line so I can be seen. Lady Une wanted me to travel first class, but I refused to accept that. Then she insisted I'd be seated right in the front, a measure I found unnecessary but I let her have her way. Why would I not exchange seats with this man if I can help out that way?

Hi all! Remember me? I am planning to at least update this story for as far as I have come (which is chapter 55) and am thinking of possibly continuing it. Would you like me to? Do not hesitate to let me know!
