They sat around the table. Wufie and Quatre slightly from the group and near the door. Heero leaned against the wall near the window keeping an eye out for anyone coming. Duo sat closest to Quatre and Trowa sat directly across next to Meiran.
"So start your so important tale." Wufie growled.
After a glance among the four Duo sat up. "I guess I'm starting this story." He grinned before looking over to Quatre and Wufie. "We as you know, rob money from those who have plenty, such as the false King, and give it to those who have none. We didn't all start this way, well almost all of us anyway. I myself use to steal all the time, was taught by one of the best. It was the only way to feed myself and some of the other children."
Quatre intrupted,"Where was your family?"
Duo gave a sad smile. "They were taken away when I was young, for not being able to pay off a loan to some very bad people, they had taken the loan to get seed and food to help make it through the winter, positive the new crop would help. But there was a fire started by a rivaling farm, then they couldn't pay, the guy sent some men to have them..taken care of. I was put in a home but it was terrible there, so I ran away.
After a while leaving on the street and learning, Father Maxwell took me in, after he caught me trying to take the communion, and some of the bread." He laughed at that. "After that I decided that no kid should have to put up with that, so while I was out attempting to get some money for the poor, I ran into Trowa here."
Trowa looked at Heero, who nodded silently, "My father was a knight for the king He taught me everything there was to fighting, I was going to be just like him. But he died fighting in a small battel. We had very little to live on then, and what we did have we gave to those who needed it more. Later a man came for my mother, an old friend who had loved her, and wanted her to be with him. But did not want a half grown kid. So I left so my mother could have the life she deserved. I returned to visit once years later, only to find she had died of the croup.
For a while I rambled around aimlessly, doing guard work here and there, till one day I was told to guard a prisoner. Trowa here, He explained to me why he was captured, stealing medicine to help a young girl and her mother. I helped him escaped, and because no duty or honor bounded me to where I was I went with him, to help those who needed it." He finished giving each a measuring look before returning his cool gaze back to the window.
Trowa looked at Quatre now, "I never knew my family. I don't even really remember much of my past before I was found by a troupe of traveling gypses.They took me in and taught me all they could. I was grateful to them all so I worked as hard as I could to prove that it wasn't a waste that they took me in. When we would go to some villages, I would see children, and families with hardly anything...Catharine, who is like a sister to me, would give all she could to these families before we left. I started to help. Soon it was hard for us to even find work. People didn't have the money to come and watch. When our troupes leader spoke out against one of the men who was taking money from a poor woman with 4 children, he was captured, and later hung as a traitor. The troupe disband, My sister left to work as a nun in a church to help orphans, I stayed awhile with her before deciding I needed to do something to help. So I started performing on my own, and would pick pockets on the way.
When I dropped the money off the last time my sister introduced me to Duo, in which I persuaded him to help me. We are a good team. But I felt we should be able to do more. Then when Catharine told me of one the familles that had worked with us being sick, I did what I had to and met Heero. After that we basically decided that until we could figure out a better way to stop your uncle ... taking his money to help those in need would be the best plan." He finished, taking a drink before looking back up and waiting for Quatre's and Wufie's verdict.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wufie and Quatre moved away from the group to a corner. "Well, Wufie, what do you think?"
Wufie looked closed his eyes in thought before answering "I think, they are telling the truth and that they could be a good ally against your uncle."
Quatre nodded, knowing how much it had taken for Wufie to admit that. "Your right. I don't know what we can do. But I'm sure if we work together, there might be away."
Wufie looked over at the group."Dose that female have to be involved?"
Quatre sighed "Wufie please. Just try and get along with her?"
Wufie hpmhed and walked to the group. "We have decided that you are truthful in what you say and that you could prove useful allies."
Quatre smiled."Yes. But do you have any ideas on how we could stop my Uncle?"
Duo smiled."This is great. and yeah we do..See we thought...." He was interrupted by Heero.
"Shh. The sheriff is coming."
As soon as he said that there was a knock on the door, with a command to open up.
Meiran called out as Trowa, Heero and Duo hid. "Who is it?"
"The Sheriff, I've come looking for his Highness, Prince Quatre."
Quatre sighed before sitting down on a chair, and putting on his royal air. Wufie stood by his side silently. Meiran opened the door and the Sheriff and two men stepped in.
"Your Highness." They bowed.
Quatre Nodded, and Wufie spoke up. "What business have you with his Highness?"
"Your Uncle had asked that we show you the village so you might know more about the area. And asked if I, personally, would escort you."
"But Sherif. I have an escort. Lady Meiran. She has provided me with much information on the village and its people."
"Still I must insist your Highness. Your Uncle did send us. I would hate to have it reported I did not do as he said."
"Fine Sherif. Let me finish my business with Lady Meiran and I shall meet you in front of the Maxwell church. Then you may show me around the village." Quatre's voice hardend slightly to let it be known that this was the only comprimise he would make.
"Thank you, your highness." With that he and his men walked out shutting the door behind him.
"There is something I do not trust about the sheriff" Wufie spoke up finaly.
"I agree" came Trowa's quiet voice, "He seems..to eager to be around the prince."
"Quatre. Just call me Quatre when we are not in public." Trowa nodded.
"We should set up a time to meet and talk more." Quatre looked at Wufie.
"Your Uncle. Will be suspicious if we leave tomorrow without good cause. especially back to this same village. Though you are scheduled to have a riding lesson by me tomorrow. If we were to ride by the Ruins in Darkwater forest. I'm sure no one would say anything." Wufie smiled as if slipping around the false King was very pleasing thing.
"Fine then. Tomorrow. We shall meet at the ruins. You do know where they are do you not?" Quatre agreed looking to the others for confirmation.
Trowa and Duo nodded, Heero was still watching.
With that Wufie and Quatre left, both dreading this tour with the Sheriff.
