[He nearly asked a woman to marry him. He nearly asked someone he knows how he did not know until those days to marry him. What even--]

I'm going to be busy for the next couple of days, I'm afraid...

I shall return soon...

Busy? [Not that he's interested or anything] Busy with what?

[failedprince]

Painting.

[zerointegrity]

Painting...

[You realize he doesn't believe you. Right, Clovis?]

You paint quite often, though. I hardly see painting as a sufficient reason for keeping you so busy you must disappear for a few days.

[failedprince]

I nearly married someone last week...

[zerointegrity]

[His response is extremely delayed, and it's a bit obvious that he's trying to hold his emotions back and keep a neutral affect.]

I wasn't aware you were even involved with anybody...

[failedprince]

I wasn't.

I just thought I was.

[zerointegrity]

How can you... [A pause to collect his thoughts to avoid jumping down his brother's throat] Clovis, I'm not following you. Can you elaborate a bit further?

[failedprince]

The last few weeks... I was under the impression that I've always lived in this city and that it was some time in the 1920s...

[Sorry, Clovis. Lelouch is attempting to stifle his laugh (and failing miserably). The goings-on at Somarium are nothing but a form of amusement to him at this point.]

This is the first time you've experienced Somarium at its full glory, isn't it? Ah! And to think, the things we experience here are generally much worse than believing you were once part of another era. You should be thankful that you weren't met with some sort of natural disaster or another one of those monsters.

[failedprince]

You are being just too calm about this, brother...

[zerointegrity]

What else am I to do, Clovis? I would get nowhere if I overreacted.

[failedprince]

Sympathize with how I feel!

[zerointegrity]

I apologize, my dear brother. I should be more cognizant of your feelings, shouldn't I?

[failedprince]

You should.

[zerointegrity]

What are you going to do to fix this situation?

[failedprince]

I'm not sure.
