IX [Audio ; Accidental]

[alwaysledbyhim]

[There's a very small hiss, muffled almost, before the sound of fumbling with the device.]

...Perhaps this wasn't the best idea today.

[A pause for a few coughs.]

I suppose that it's a little late to re-think things now though. I hope things clear up soon, slightly warmer weather would be nice so long as it wasn't a heatwave.

[crippledroyalty]

Ah, are you going to be okay?

[alwaysledbyhim]

I'll be fine, it's not as bad as it sounds.

[crippledroyalty]

You're not walking properly... [Formerly blind girls know their stuff.]

[alwaysledbyhim]

...I tripped a little earlier and hurt my leg, it's nothing serious. [Oh you girls and your keen senses.]

[crippledroyalty]

Well, at least finding ice for it now won't be a problem... [If the limping is severe or doesn't start to fade, she's going to keep fretting, though.]

[alwaysledbyhim]

I suppose that is true, i'll need to tend to it a little later though. [It's unlikely to fade considering he's now trying to limp home as quickly as possible. It's a lose-lose situation for him avoiding worrying people.]

[crippledroyalty]

[And it's not.] Doesn't it hurt if you walk that fast? [It's an honest question; Nunnally wouldn't know but she's used to hearing people limp about slowly.]

[alwaysledbyhim]

[Slowing down for a few brief moments to think that over.] It does hurt but I promised that I would be home soon.

[crippledroyalty]

[Hmmm. Well, if it was Lelouch in this situation...]

I think...if I was the person waiting for you, I'd rather you not hurt yourself more and be a little later.

[alwaysledbyhim]

...I suppose.

[crippledroyalty]

I don't think they'll be angry...what's important is that you're safe and in as little pain as possible.

[alwaysledbyhim]

They're already angry with me, I don't want to make things worse and worry them any more.

[crippledroyalty]

Mm...did you go outside when you weren't supposed to?

[alwaysledbyhim]

...Yes.

[crippledroyalty]

[Well, she can understand that. Fretting levels have decreased.] Ah, I see...

[alwaysledbyhim]

Hm...
