A Symphony of Ashes 6/7

Relena looked into hazy like gray eyes for a long moment.
They still had the same arcane light that had captured her attention so many years ago. The same sleek sparkle that suggested they knew something you didn't. Dorothy herself still had the familiar air of smooth sophistication she'd always possessed.
Relena noticed something more as she looked at her former lover for what felt like the first time. The feeling of restlessness the blond had always projected in the past was gone. It was as if the wild part of Dorothy had smoothed out into something more controlled.
Somewhere in her, Relena realized the woman that stud calmly before her was not the same woman she'd fallen in love with. She waited for some sort of pain at that to surface but instead she found acknowledgment. And possibly disappointment.
"Quatre's a complement to you Dorothy."
The blond inclined her head. "You think so?" she smiled fondly at Relena after a moment. "You know, false affability never did suit you. Your always so much better when you're blunt."
"Hn" Relena gave a dry smile under light bangs "You know me so well then Dorothy?"
Quatre's lover let go of her amused gaze and let it turn to something that resembled regret, or possibly a little bit of sadness as she looked upon the Minister.
"No. At one time maybe."
Relena wrapped her arms around her waist and licked her lips. "I knew we were a bad idea you know. But that never stopped me for a minute." She whispered. "Maybe it should have."
Dorothy closed the space between them and put her slender hands on the other girl's shoulders. She looked tragically childlike in the too big button-down shirt, her hair loose around her narrow shoulders, eyes cast down at the oriental carpet. Quite unlike the strong willed and suborn woman the world had both loved and ridiculed in the past.
Relena looked up and stared into those gray eyes, not sure what she was looking for." I tried to listen to the music you spoke of so often. I could never hear it Dorothy. Whenever I tried I felt like I was loosing something I was never meant to win."
"There is no time for regrets in this life Miss Relena. For us, this was a battle we both failed in." Dorothy reached out and moved a stay lock of honey colored hair behind Relena's ear. " The story will move on, and you must go with it."
The Minister straitened slightly. "And how is this chapter to end?"
Dorothy moved away from the blond walked back to the double doors. She stopped as she placed her hands on the cold brass knobs, aware of the pair of sea blue eyes that bore into her from behind.
"With no regrets. " she anwered
"No regrets."
Dorothy turned the handles but paused, turning her head , hair falling over one shoulder, but never quite looking back.
"I knew we were a bad idea too. And that never stopped me. Not for a minute."
Dorothy swung the doors open and walked out, leaving Relena behind her.
