Silent: five

Chapter four: Thank-you for reviewing! Yay! I got reviews! Wahoo! Please, please keep reviewing! Yay! Thank-you! I've been trying to work on fics where the whole thing isn't too sappy or happily-ever-after, hence all the mean pilots and more Duo-angst stuff.

Silent: Chapter Four: Inspection

Treize Kushrenada was bored. Completely and utterly bored-out-of-his-mind-I'm-gonna-fall-asleep-if-you-dont-amuse-me-now bored. He had sat through several long, tedious meetings for almost fourteen hours straight, an eight hour shuttle flight and a three and a half hour car ride. The only two things that had kept him sane were his MP3 player (cleverly disguised as a rose; after all, who would ever suspect that?) and a certain blond lieutenant.

After much begging, pleading, ordering, threatening, sulking and pouting, he had finally convinced the young blond to accompany him to Earth.

The two of them, accompanied by Lady Une and her partner, Lieutenant Noin, were to visit several Oz facilities, checking up on the officers, new recruits, mobile suite manufacturing, the prisoners and their conditions, just the usual. Treize aimed to get all sixteen bases on their list done within the first two to three weeks, wanting to spend the rest of his time off at one of his many estates, relaxing and, hopefully, getting reacquainted with Milliardo on a slightly more...intimate level. Wars did such terrible things to one's sex-life.

They were almost done with the inspections, though. It had taken them almost three weeks, but it was almost over. Only one more base to inspect.

Black-Angel-001 : well, you asked a really good question. The pilots are really pissed off at Duo, and they blame him for the war not ending. It'd take them a while to calm down, but, if you think about it, Duo was one of the stealth and infiltration experts of the group, so, the pilots may not have realised that he was actually captured, and may think that he's just too ashamed to face them. Then again, they may not :) You'll have to wait and see!!!!!!!!! hands Black-Angel-001 confused looking Duo plushie
