@theotherwesley Re: fic16_Heero soup

This is set around Episodes 12-13, just because it is very important to me personally that Heero enjoys Catherine's soup. Something something, 1st home cooked meal he can remember and all that. She makes him chop vegetables, and after the war he is going to remember her every time he cooks for himself. "I might not be the best cook, but soup is very forgiving," she tells him.

"In OZ's eyes you're already dead. You're no longer restrained to the colonies. In my case it's not that simple."

"They found you, Trowa?"

"No, but there hasn't been one mission since that day."

"Hn," Heero grunts. "I see."

Through the lingering fug of painkillers, he recognizes that he's bothered by this. Upset, for some reason. It makes no sense: what did expect to have changed? His self-detonation was merely to ensure that OZ couldn't gain control of the Gundam; Doctor J even said that he surrendered. Had he expected some kind of miracle?

Trowa is in the middle of briefing him further on the state of the war and the world when that girl returns with a tray containing a bowl and a glass of water and chases him away from Heero's bedside.

"Don't be overtaxing him, he only just woke up," she scolds in a theatrical kind of way that reminds him of Duo. To Heero, she smiles. "Can you manage okay? Don't be shy if you need help -- your body has been through a lot, it still needs time to recover."

"I can manage," he says, sounding churlish rather than gracious. And he's sure he can manage, only he would prefer to do so away from their watchful gaze. Trowa must sense this, because he excuses himself with a quiet word. Either that or he just wants to avoid the secondhand embarrassment of watching Heero struggle.

An interesting canon fact about Trowa:

He has burn marks on his back from when he was a baby, and his family was attacked by the Alliance, and their wagon caught fire. Triton (Trowa) was lost in the flames...

As written in the EW novel:

Trowa stood with his back to her, resplendent in his beast tamer's costume - if one could call his near-bare torso a costume at all. His sculpted physique bore testament to years of rigorous training, marred here and there by small, old scars - silent witnesses to battlefields past.

Cathrine's gaze was drawn to an extensive burn scar that covered Trowa's entire back. It was so faint, so well-healed that it nearly blended with his skin tone, visible only upon close inspection. She noticed that all the smaller scars lay atop this underlying burn.

"That burn on your back… where did you get it?" she asked, curiosity piqued.

Trowa turned, his face partially obscured by the half-mask of a clown - part of his signature act as the comedic beast tamer.

"I don't know," he replied, his voice as impassive as his masked visage. "I've never been burned."

Cathrine's brow furrowed in disbelief as Trowa continued, "It's been there for as long as I can remember. Probably just an odd birthmark." Cathrine knew better.

"That's definitely a burn. And an old one at that, like he got it as a newborn…"

From Kodansha “New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Endless Waltz (Volume.01)” by Katsuyuki Sumizawa. Released 1997.04.09

It is also mentioned in the Episode Zero manga:

Shame they didn't bother showing these scars in the anime, or at least in EW...

It's totally why he wears a turtle neck, yo. To hide those burn scars.
