23. Hands

Quatre's hands were paler than Duo's, and while Duo always had some dirt under his nails from his work, Quatre's hands were always manicured; but at the end, they were the same callous hands that piloted the Gundams, that killed and saved, that ended a war, and that for Duo and Quatre, no matter how much good they've done, would always look bloody.

Okay, I shall admit now that I haven't exactly been reading all these sentences (and hey, I'm supposed to be writing an essay right now, so I shouldn't've read this one) but I did just read this...and it's a bloody good sentence! ^___^

Thank you! I keep spaming with sentences because they are fun, and I'm happy that you read and liked this one.

I'm really enjoying these. Your sentences are just perfect.

Like this one; yes they are different but also similiar. And Gundam pilots, like all soldiers, no matter their background, wouldn't be able to rid themselves of the blood on their hands.

Thank you!

I agree, all the pilots would find it difficult to forgive themselves, no matter how much good they've done. I think the bad would always weight on their conscience.

That is just gorgeous, the comparison and contrast. I love how you play with words.

Thanks, Lil.

Words are fun, and I have a weakness for writing contrasts. Sometimes I think I do it too much ^^;;

*says "Ditto" to the other comments* That's why I'll never see any of the gundam guys as being "opposites" of each other. Complementary yes, but not opposites. They'll always have a special bond between them because of their shared experiences.

I like to think they have a pretty close bond too. No matter how different they might seem. I like what you said about being complementary but not opposites. They are too alike to be real opposites.
