twenty-first crane ❦ [backdated kitty cam]

[crippledroyalty]

[It seems Anna and Alice have gotten bored while Nunnally is sick and have decided to use the communicator as their new toy. It sees Alice pouncing it is what turned it on, and for a while her pawing at the thing is all you can see. Sometimes you can catch glimpses of Anna playing with something shiny.]

[Eventually behind Alice something does happen

[ no that sound does not sound good at all. pretty much drops all that he's working on and heads straight to that room. ]

Nunnally?

[comment log ahoy!]

[crippledroyalty]

[And there's nothing for a moment, just the kitties peering over the edge of the bed, before Nunnally's hands and head appear.]

I...I don't understand...

[comment log ahoy!]

[eyesofgeass]

[ those kitties are not so young any more... but Lelouch sees Nunnally and let's go of a breathe he hadn't known he had been holding. time to go pick her up and set her on the bed. ]

You don't understand what?

[She bites her lip and casts a glance at the crystal fragment.]

I saw myself stand up, but...it didn't work.

[eyesofgeass]

[ tucking in a little sister now. sick little girls are supposed to be in bed. resting. ]

What do you mean? In the crystal or did you try that just now?

[ eyes now land on it. ]

[Will let him, she's not having a wave of chills per se, but the blankets are very much welcome.]

I saw it in the crystal, so I thought that I could do it if I wanted to badly enough...

[comment log ahoy!]

[eyesofgeass]

Couldn't you have at least waited until I was in the room before trying?

[ shakes his head. seriously, little sister. god forbid something happen to you while he's not in the room. but now he bends down to pick up that crystal. ]

I wonder if these things simply shouldn't be destroyed.

I didn't want you to be disappointed if it didn't work. [What? She doesn't get into trouble that often...] But maybe someday...?

[eyesofgeass]

[ he just smiles at her and even though he doubts it... ] Ah. Who knows what the future holds.

[crippledroyalty]

I hope you'll be able to see it...

[Because really, she has very little motivation to try if she goes home and is taken away from everyone.]

[ he can feel a little twinge of emotion in his heart. oh Nunnally... leans down and kisses her on the forehead. he has to lie for her. again. always lying, isn't he? ]

Of course I'll be around.

[comment log ahoy!]

[crippledroyalty]

[Lelouch why you do this? Can't you find a better addiction, like chocolate? But Nunnally's bad at telling when he's lying, so she hugs him lightly. Little sister has plots of her own.]

I'll make sure of it...

[comment log ahoy!]

[eyesofgeass]

[ chocolate is too sweet. but hugs! like hugs, yes. ]

First you have to concentrate on getting over this cold.

[crippledroyalty]

[And yet he's drawn to sweet people. She'll let go if he does, but for the moment Nunnally relaxes and rests her head on his shoulder. Tired loliprincess is tired.]

I'll stay in bed, but...can I have a little water?

[comment log ahoy!]

[eyesofgeass]

[ he just has sweet people around him... tired princess should rest. Lelouch finally let's go and stands straight. ]

Of course. I'll go get some right now.

[comment log ahoy!]

[crippledroyalty]

[The urge to flop backwards onto the pillow is great, but then she'd have to sit up again to drink the water and somehow that sounds like a momentous task. So she's going to be lazy and stay sitting up until he comes back.]

Thank you.
