[ fumbling sounds, and then a tired sigh. ]

... how did I sleep so long? [ yawns ] What a waste of a day.

... Suzaku?

[geassreceived]

[ oh, new voice ]

Yes?

[withoutnobody]

... I didn't know you were back. But I was probably gone when you --

Nevermind. You don't remember, hunh.

[geassreceived]

[ carefully ]

I'm sorry, I only remember being here for about a month.

Your name's Riku?

preparing for epic lulz in 3, 2, 1...

[withoutnobody]

Ahh. I've been gone about two.

... Yeah. Uh. You don't remember this, but ... can you do me a favor?

[geassreceived]

[ wary ]

If I can. What is it?

[withoutnobody]

[ So, so deadpan: ]

... Please don't ever threaten my balls again.

[geassreceived]

Somehow... I don't think that will be an issue.

[withoutnobody]

Didn't think it would be the first time 'round, but I guess you never really know.

Anyway, uh, yeah. I'm Riku. [ Awkward get. ] I'm a good friend of Euphemia's.

[geassreceived]

From what I understand, I didn't make many friends while I was here the last time.

I'm glad she's been able to have people here to watch out for her. [ maybe an unspoken "in my absence", there ]

[withoutnobody]

I'm sure you had your reasons. You do seem like you're getting along better with Lelouch this time around, though.

She doesn't need watching out for. She's strong. She just needs people to remind her of that strength. [ Maybe an unspoken, male "I'm threatened by that", there. ]

[geassreceived]

That should continue to be the case, as well.

She is strong, and more than she knows. But she does need watching out for. That's my job.

[withoutnobody]

Hm. Wonder what changed.

Ah, right. As her "Knight".

[geassreceived]

[ doesn't address what "changed"; it's no one's business but his and Lelouch's. ]

That's right. [ more softly ] I'm her knight.
