[…This was unexpected. After trying to figure out just where she was for a little while, Nunnally came to the conclusion that she had absolutely no idea. This wasn’t anywhere that looked even familiar to home

[The voice is not familiar to him, but the face is. His eyes widen for a moment before his face breaks out in a wide smile. Nunnally -- his darling little sister. It had been so long since he had seen her. Clovis lets out a breath as he realizes that becoming too overtly excited without only embarrass her. One must keep proper appearances, as his hands settles over his heart to calm its beat, yet he cannot stop his smiling. She is alive and well just as Lelouch is. Their family is coming back together, again. He could not be happier.
This place truly is one made of dreams.]
Nunnally. You're all right. I'm beyond overjoyed...!
[...Even though she was warned, it still doesn't soften the surprise on her face as she sees Clovis. Her hands loosen on the Dreamberry, but she's determined not to drop it completely. If she drops it, if it falls off her lap, it'll be a trick to get it back again.
Not only was Clovis alive, that meant Lelouch was--]
Clovis. [The word comes out on a sharp exhale. She swallows, trying to make the lump in her throat go away, but it doesn't exactly help.] Is that really you?
[Her voice comes out in a whisper, though she already knows it's him. It doesn't make it any easier to believe, however.]
[He cannot keep the warm feeling from his heart at seeing her. His hand raises to lightly touch the side of his face, at his eyes. It would not do to start crying where everyone could see it. It would be more embarrassing to his little sister. He is the older brother and should act properly.]
I cannot imagine who else it could be. [A soft sigh.] Can I ... can I see you in person, Nunnally?
[Dumbfounded, that probably describes her expression very well right now. Also, she may look like she's seen a ghost, because in a way...she is seeing one.]
...You're right. Excuse me. [Does he not know he's...?
That question. She blinks, and smiles just a little.] I would...very much like to see you in person, Clovis.
[Ah, how wonderful. It is wonderful to have this sort of conversation. How many times must he say so to himself before he cannot contain his feelings and say so aloud?]
At her silence, he wonders if he has done something wrong. Perhaps, upset her in some way? His head gives the tiniest of tilts, as his smile drops just a fraction from its usual brightness.
His smile returns completely when she answers as he claps his hands together -- dropping the Dreamberry in the process. There is a scrambling to pick it up before he states cheerfully, once more:]
[So much excitement and joy that he feels as he almost does not want to close the Dreamberry as he wishes to keep seeing her faces as he goes to greet her, but knows that is quite silly.
He bows his head slightly instead and closes the connection so that he may do as he said -- hurry to her side.]
[So it's Nunnally's turn to wait, with her attempt to keep as calm as she possibly can. She's so nervous but at the same time excited to see him again.
[Unfortunately, in all his gusto to meet with his sister, he leaves the Dreamberry at his estate to run out to meet her. Upon realizing that he does not know how to get where she is, he digs about in his pocket to find that which would tell him how to get to her.
More realization that he left it at home and now is, unfortunately, lost.]
This place truly is one made of dreams.]
Nunnally. You're all right. I'm beyond overjoyed...!

Ah. Then, w-where are you now?

Everything had changed so quickly after Clovis' passing. No longer was she the sheltered princess in exile, not by a long shot.
Oh. She should probably answer that question. She picks her thoughts back up and looks around.] I'm near a library, or that's what the sign says.

I shall be there immediately at your side, then!
