Stage 043 - Dance lessons.

[001999]

[Lelouch is very out of breath and he is desperately gasping for air. Ladies giggling can be heard around him, their footsteps getting louder as they get closer to Lelouch. Fabric rustling can be heard as they latch onto his arms and drag him off again to who knows where...]

P-please, I must decline...

[More giggles.]

My body cannot endure this

Oh, Lelouch, it's not so bad! I can ever teach you to dance!

Voice

[001999]

I know how to dance. But this is not even dancing. It's torture. Do you know how to stop these women?

Re: Voice

[as_driven_snow]

Maybe just show them a good time? Kiss a cheek? Or a hand, if you're more proper? Be a gentleman!

Voice

[001999]

I prefer the hand over the cheek. But Suzaku would not be happy with either. ...I can't convince them to leave through words?

((Strike-outs are scratched out, but can be visible if you wish~))

Oh, I certainly wish<3

[as_driven_snow]

Suzaku? A... lover?

I had no idea.

Oh, you~ 8D

[001999]

... ... Yes. My lover.

You don't mind? I'd understand if you'd want it kept private

[as_driven_snow]

Oh, how wonderful! I've not met many here in love! How did you meet?

...Suzaku is a man, yes?

Naw, i think it's a-ok. As long as Alcuin keeps it a secret!

[001999]

... We were childhood friends.

Yes. Is that a problem?

Lips zipped

[as_driven_snow]

How poetic! How absolutely lovely and romantic! Oh, to swoon over a man again!

Oh, no, not at all! I myself have had many male lovers, both by trade and by... more personal choice.

:) Thanks!

[001999]

...Thank you. [Honesty, Lelouch doesn't know how to react and is a little stunned by Alcuin's enthusiastic response.]

Really? You seem to have had quite an interesting past.

No problem<3

[as_driven_snow]

I apologize. I sometimes forget myself and make a bit of a scene.

It's hardly one to discuss in polite company. I'd not scandalize you with it or any such thing.

Re: No problem<3

[001999]

No, it's fine; act as you please. I was just surprised...

I do not want to meddle in your private affairs, but if you want to...talk, about it, then by all means, go ahead. I'll listen.

[as_driven_snow]

Well, if we're going to exchange sensitive information...

I was a courtesean back in my world. I took assignments from my mentor to entertain and please various men of various stations of political and noble office. I never quite wanted to do it, but I did it out of gratitude for my mentor. When I spent the evening with a man, in bed or not, I was to attempt to wrangle secrets or information out of him and report all of it back to my mentor.

That's more or less it, really.

[001999]

Gratitude? He made you do such things and you felt gratitude towards him?

[as_driven_snow]

No, no. Anafiel rescued me from my village when it was over-run by barbarians. He... he gave me a very well-appointed lifestyle and a good home and for that... owe him even more than what I've done.
