Oh, Miss Ashford, you can't possibly think this place more fun than the Tokyo Settlement. The pace of life is drastically slower, practically crawling compared to what you're used to... and some of our fellow residents are so very strange.
[A brief pause]
But I suppose you'll get used to it just like everybody else has.
[His feelings are extremely mixed upon seeing one of his former classmates and friends appear on his Dreamberry. First it was Kallen, and now Milly? Who was next... Shirley? However, Lelouch would never greet anybody without a smile on his face (for the most part). It's easy to just cover up his true emotions with another one of his perfected fake smiles.]
Ah, and to answer your question, the dead do walk among us.
[She would know that voice anywhere. It's Lelouch, alright, and he's as dashing as ever. Her heart skips a beat when she sees him whole and well, and almost not a full ass. But she's... slightly, no-- very hurt by the formality about him. He knows her better than that. But if that's what he wants to remember. She'll play his game.]
Well, Your Majesty, I was merely viewing my predicament as optimistically as possible! I am trying to make the best of a situation like this~
[She can't help but glare at him momentarily, then smile again, as cheerful as ever]
I've seen so already, with... Well, it's irrelevant. Though, it's always good to see you alive and well~!
Your Majesty? [A bit of a laugh] There is no need for such formality for I'm nothing but Lelouch in Somarium. Most of the residents see me as nothing more than a high school student with little interest in going back to school who shows a bit of curiosity about the inner workings of the government in this lovely world.
[He notices the glare, Milly, but decides to save that for another time, for there were other things he'd rather address than a little face she made due to his haughtiness.]
Come now, you know nothing is irrelevant. You've already seen so with...?
[He raises an eyebrow leaving the question open-ended. There's no need to have the same attitude with Milly as he had with Kallen upon their first conversation in Somarium.]
You were the Emperor back home, and I'm Miss Ashford here. It's like dress-up in a sense, except you rule the world, and I just tell everyone about it~ Nonetheless, I can't refer to you as I normally would, Your Grace...
[she chuckles, halfway curtsying. She would rather not end up on his bad side. Plus, didn't he forget her? She wanted to ask him so many questions, about their home, and about him too. But regardless of what he said...]
I've seen so with Suzaku. [and you.] Upsetting, really~ But what can I do? It's better here for everyone anyway... At least, it feels like it.

Exactly, I was the Emperor back home. I'm Lelouch in Somarium... but, if you would rather me call you Miss Ashford in favor of Milly, I certainly will.
[He sees what you did there, Milly, and he's not okay with it. You have always had the easiest time frustrating him and, unfortunately for him, you have the easiest time getting away with it.
And he forgets, for a moment, that Suzaku is dead to everybody but him. With a brief pause, he smiles back at her.]
Better here for everybody? I'm not so sure about that... this place isn't always the dream it seems to be.
I'd rather you never even started, you know. You know me as Milly, your Student Council President. Not by my mother's name. [she chuckles. If only she could comment on Emperor of Britannia being his father's title too.]
Still, even if you're not the same Lulu I know so well, I'll do as you wish~
[She looks to him, with a smile that's almost all-knowing, as she thought she was. Even after all that's happened, it's still so good to see him. But for him to question the fortune of being here...]
Obviously, I came here through a concussion~ Still, we're all together and in one piece. Nothing can go wrong here, no matter what!
[His voice is laced with sarcasm, a tone Milly should be quite familiar with by now.
But the sarcasm is short lived as he shakes his head at her, the remark about not being "the same Lulu" leaving him a bit speechless. It wasn't often that the amount he has changed over the past year is brought up in conversation and it's still a bit shocking, not something he ever really wants to think about.]
In all seriousness, I'm not at all pleased to hear that you've suffered a concussion prior to your arrival in Somarium. There are several doctors in the city and I urge you to see one as a precautionary measure, only to assure us that your health is one hundred percent.
[She heard that tone of yours, little boy. She smirks at him, already figuring his punishment for using it~]
Vice President, if you're not careful, I'll have to make you go on a coffee-copy run for me~
[She wants to find all those who were in it back home. For all this talk of Somarium being a better place, she's still holding on to her old life. Lelouch isn't helping too much there.]
I'm sure I'll be fiiiiine~ A bit of ice, laying down somewhere... I'm not too worried right now about it. There are bigger things to deal with at the moment. My head can be examined later.

[He pauses, steering their conversation to more serious subject matter.]
Milly, what's the last thing you remember before coming to Somarium?
