[It's been a long time, but there's no mistaking that voice. She's not gonna cry or anything. Nope. She's just overcome with emotion - overjoyed that he's alive and well here after all. How she had managed to miss him these last two months, she would never know. Maybe she had been delaying their inevitable meeting - simply too upset thinking about his fate at home to make any real attempt to see him. But now she was ready.]
... Clovis?
[Wait. Give her a minute. Okay, the cheerfulness is back - a bit forced, but it's there.]
I don't remember it ever being quite this hot back home, brother!
I had heard that you were here. I apologize for not getting in touch with you sooner... I fear the heat and quite a bit -- but that really shouldn't have stopped me.
Oh, Clovis. You know that there's nothing for you to apologize for at all. I could never blame you for such silly things!
[She smiles.]
I'm certainly glad to hear it. But if the heat is getting to you, why don't you come to the house and visit for a bit? I'd love to see you, and I'm certain big brother would as well.
Oh, I haven't had the chance to attend any classes here yet. School was ending about the same time I arrived. But I'm looking forward to continuing my studies soon!

Would you two also like to accompany me to the pool and for some ice cream?

Of course! I would love nothing more than to spend time with my dearest brothers.

Perhaps, we could even convince Lelouch to join us.

It'd be a lovely memory to have with one another...!

When did you plan on going out to the pool, brother?

Well, I think that you've been working enough and deserve a bit of a break, anyway.
