The Worst Is Over Now [Semi-Open]

Oct 06, 2009 21:14

WHO: Lelouch Lamperouge, Hino Rei, open to the rest of the Senshi house and maybe later to ghosts that are ex-Senshi house residents.
WHAT: Many happy (?) returns
WHERE: Senshi House
WHEN: Today, afternoon, before Minako and Usagi arrive.

It seemed it was just Lelouch's luck that the day he was finally recovered enough to leave the clinic, it was raining and foggy. Still, fresh air was fresh air, though Lelouch was still careful not to breathe in too deeply-- even after over a week in the clinic and magic healing, there was only so much that could be done for a wound like his. Still, with most everyone inside due to the weather, the walk was calm and tranquil as he found his way through the mist and raindrops.

What was strange (or, upon reflection, perhaps not so terribly strange) was that where he was heading was not where he had lived with Euphie and Nunnally (it seemed so empty now, so hollow now that he was alone, like so many of his lies) but where Rei and Rise and Chibiusa were. It was strange, but in the past month or so, he had started to become comfortable with them, with the routine, even with the occasional bickering with Rei. It felt... it felt like a home.

Lelouch found himself smiling as he approached the door. It was strange. He had thought after Euphie and Nunnally were gone, there would be nothing left for him, not without an empire to topple, without a vendetta to fulfill. And while perhaps he hadn't exactly found purpose yet, he had found something very rare in his life. Contentment. Folding his umbrella on the porch, he reached up and knocked on the door. It was nice to be home again.
