[Heero is once again at the bar, but this time he's not trying to drink himself into oblivion. That hadn't worked out as well has he had hoped, leaving with a rather nasty hangover. While there is a bottle of opened vodka on the counter, he's not drinking it.

Instead he's using it to disinfect a shrapnel wound to his upper arm. The left one again, right under a nearly healed gun shot wound. It seemed as though every time he stepped foot onto Duo's reality he somehow managed to take a hit to the arm. One of these days he was going to come back to the plane missing an arm. The thought had him slightly amused. How would he explain that one back home?

Dabbing the wound with a cotton ball gently, he set it down once he was finished and reached for the suture kit. Yes, he was going to actually do this to himself, in the open for all to see. Not that it bothered him or anything. The bar happened to be the most convenient place to do this. Vodka made a wonderful disinfectant and was readily available so there was no need to head home and grab the proper cleaner.

Grabbing the already opened kit he set to work. The most impressive part was the fact he was hardly making a face while doing it.]

[His words made her freeze. The hand holding the glass tightened, her knuckles turning white as she gazed up at him. More than anything, shock and disbelief graced her features.

Her.. counterpart failed? How.. in the Earth sphere did that happen!? Understandably, Relena was... speechless for once.]

[For the briefest of moments, she was distracted by his touch only to have her disbelief and worry over ride that distraction.]

...How can you be so sure?

[Even though he was acting nonchalant, she couldn't help but take it to heart. Relena knew he meant it and that made her smile and relax slightly. He was right, she wouldn't fail. If he could keep fighting, so could she just in her own way.

Still, she wished he didn't have to resort to violence in Duo's world.]


Thank you, that means a lot to me Heero.

[Especially when he was the one to say it.]

[Relena remained silent for a few moment and let herself relax a little more. With him here, it always made things better. She covered his hand with her free one and sighed softly.]

Still, thank you. I honestly don't know what I would do without you.

Perhaps, perhaps not.

[She let him pull away knowing better than to try and keep him there. Relena still felt that he was important to her even if he denied it.]

[If he did argue it, they wouldn't get anywhere. Relena could be just as stubborn as he was and she was better with her words. For now, she let it drop and took a sip of her own drink.

Relena knew she needed to drink it slowly or suffer the consequences and that was something she didn't want anyone to experience.]

[She probably would have. Thankfully, the only time she had been 'drunk' was when she over did it at a dinner party not that long ago and thankfully her aids managed to smooth things over.]

Not as much as I would be back home.

[She swished the liquid around in her glass and smiled faintly.]

I find that doing my paperwork her allows me to become more prepared for my meetings. So, with that in mind, I suppose not.

[He is suggesting she remembers what 'relaxing' means anymore.]

Oh? What would you suggest I do otherwise?

[She raised an eyebrow and smiled a little.]

I don't think I know what that word means.

Are you so sure? These documents are important. However if you can think of something I could distract myself with, I might listen.

You know, two of those three things are best enjoyed with other people. Perhaps you can accompany me to the theater or the ballroom.

I was thinking the ballroom if there is music. I wouldn't mind a little dancing to help me relax as you put it.
