[rustling of bedsheets followed by footsteps. then, a squeak against glass is heard. C.C. seems to be wiping her window.]

Lelouch, why is snow white? [short pause]

Snow is white because it's forgotten what color it's supposed to be.

[sigh, followed with a long silence]

"I do not know why snow is white, but it is beautiful. I don't hate it." He

Snow signifies a new beginning.

[caged_graywitch]

You're optimistic, aren't you, Labrador?

[lovedbyflowers]

After the winter comes spring after all.

And well, it was a new beginning for me.

[caged_graywitch]

I see. If you put it that way, it makes sense.

Well then, the yearly snow should be a constant reminder of my age.

[lovedbyflowers]

It does? Did something happen in the winter?

[caged_graywitch]

No, it's only New Year's Day. It's not special, but...what a horrible way to remind a woman of her age.

[lovedbyflowers]

I see...

I suppose it a bad idea to celebrate your birthday then?

[caged_graywitch]

I...don't remember my birthday.

[ooc: It would a problem to put all the candles on the cake anyway. XD]

[lovedbyflowers]

... I see. Perhaps you could pick a day that has special significance for you?

((XD True.))

[caged_graywitch]

A day...[thinks for a while] February 14.

[That was the first one that popped into my head.]

[lovedbyflowers]

February 14 it is then.

And I think you should be able to choose your age as well since you are immortal after all. And no one would know from your youthful appearance.

[caged_graywitch]

No one would believe me anyway.

[lovedbyflowers]

Mnhm~ So you needn't be depressed about your age, Miss C.C.

[caged_graywitch]

It's a woman's pride.

[lovedbyflowers]

True.

But in the end, it's a just a number. There are other things one can take pride in.

[caged_graywitch]

I suppose you're right.
