[There is a very long silence. He quite obviously can't bare to see a child in that condition.]

[C.C. just stares at him]

..
....
..
Bath water does wonders on welts.

[retributing]

Yes...a bit of salts in the water ease the swelling, I hear.

[He appears sobered, as well as sympathetic]

...that was you.

[forever_witch]

[she narrows her eyes, staring away with a bit of shame]

..Yes. Long long ago.

[yougotgeassed]

And have you found that reason yet?

[he stares silently at the dream for several minutes, thinking back to the time he spent in the World of C, reliving these memories with C.C.]

It's been some time since I've seen those memories of yours, yet they have the same effect on me now as they did that day.

[forever_witch]

...
I believe...thanks to you, I might be close to finding it.

[hesitates, before lowering her eyes, looking almost ashamed that he had to see this]

...Effect?

[yougotgeassed]

It's never easy to see my [he hesitates momentarily] accomplice in such pain.

[have a small smile here]
Lelouch, thank you. I truly appreciate it that you are concerned about me. But---had that not happened, I never would have met you. I'm grateful.

[forever_witch]

-slightly bewildered-

..
...
Why are you crying?

[atoli_in_sky]

I,I'm sorry - *wipes her eyes hurriedly* It's just that .. your dream was very sad.

[forever_witch]

...
I suppose it was.
It wasn't a good experience.

[just looks and he thinks your hair is weird.]

[forever_witch]

[stares blankly back]
What do you want?

[mugenshi]

Tch.

[lolgundam]

I can give you a bath anytime.

[forever_witch]

.....I'd rather be dirty.

[lolgundam]

But girls are supposed to be clean.

[forever_witch]

...I'd appreciate that had you been there when I was like that.
