[Action | Locked to Rin]

[Lelouch always looks serious, but today he looks serious and focused on something, and about half as displeased as the day before when he was rigorously cleaning his scratched and dirt-covered little purple contact. Today he's been looking at his phone every so often, but finally he sets it down and goes to Rin's part of their hideout.]Rin. Have

[While he didn't have a chance when he first arrived, Rin's taken the iniciative to resume his training. He's sure his teachers back home would be proud of his diligence. He doesn't want to lose control of himself no matter where he is. Rin's found three flameable objects and he's placed them all in a row. He sits in front of them, a concentrated look on his face. Occasionally one (or all three) are ignited by the blue flames, but this is not what he's going for. Having Lelouch approach him gave Rin a reason to take a break

...It's a very long story, so I'll spare you the entire World History of Britannia. I don't know exactly where it has diverged from that of other worlds, but somehow Britannia became a powerful empire in a way it did not in other worlds. They began conquering other nations for their territory and natural resources. But when I was a child I had no idea

[It was a lot of information to take in at once. Some of it seemed unbelievable but the emotion was real. Lelouch's story was really a sad one, more so because of the political involvement of such young children. It made Rin's blood boil to hear of such cruelties going on -- made worse by the fact that he could do nothing about it. The way Lelouch spoke of his father reminded Rin of his own. With that sort of resolve coming from the Lelouch, it was hard to deny him. Besides, Rin wanted to help in anyway he could.]

Your dad's a fuckin' bastard. [Just sayin' it like it is.] I bet if anyone is gonna overthrow that power crazy asshole, it's gotta be you.

. . . So what's the plan, Lu? [That's about as close of nickname that Lelouch was going to get. Aside from "Princess Lulu". Or "Little Damsel Lulu".]

We're not going to let this guy show us what he's really capable of! And we can't let him think that he's gotten any power over the people here.

[He probably wouldn't ever use the same phrase to describe his father but he thinks it certainly fits and appreciates Rin's words of support. He nods in agreement.]

Thank you.

[He's...a little less thrilled about the nickname but doesn't find it entirely bothersome and either way this isn't the time to nitpick. At least it isn't Lulu.]Right now the plan is to watch for any information that surfaces about the new leader in question. His identity or the way he operates, specifically. For example, we know he announced his claim to power just after doing something helpful and benevolent, but still did so without input from the people he would be ruling. He says it's to prevent a harmful vacuum of power. This means he will probably do whatever he wants for whatever reason he desires, then justify it to all of us in the best light so we don't rise up against him. He will do things that help us when they can benefit him as well, which will make him seem benevolent and prevent uprisings. But this means he doesn't have a strong
