[maskmastery]

Effects: A jarring mix of anticipation and resignation, and more nostalgia.

[she watches wordlessly, what else would she say? you can feel the silence can't you? but she will offer no words. ]

[He smiles thinly. Her silence would have made a lesser man uneasy - instead he is quiet himself for a few moments, considering, before he speaks up, his voice soft and perhaps threaded with amusement.]

You recall such times as those, don't you?

voice;

[aevitas]

I'm surprised you remember.

[maskmastery]

[A thoughtful pause, before he answers blithely.]

I don't. Any recollection I have is too vague to be considered a memory.

[aevitas]

You dream of your little brother quite often, it seems.

voice;

[maskmastery]

I do. He's an important figure in my life, after all. However, in my last dream it was Clovis, not Lelouch, that I met with.

[aevitas]

Do you regret, Second Prince?

voice;

[maskmastery]

Regret?

[The smile on his lips doesn't flicker, and it doesn't fade. His voice still has that casual, nonchalant lilt. And yet the prince seems different somehow, a little more wan and a little more distant.

Does he regret? Difficult to say. Is he ever wracked by guilt? No. But does he sometimes wish things could have been different? Well...]

Regrets are generally pointless folly, my lady witch.

[aevitas]

For weaker men who make weak choices, isn't that how it goes?

[maskmastery]

Perhaps a sweeping generalisation, though I imagine such to be true in many cases.

[aevitas]

Hm..

voice;

[maskmastery]

What do you think?
