"Yes," his eyes lowered for a moment as he thought about what those implications meant. Kaname would have wanted nothing to do with the Dream world. In fact, if he had already woken up in his own world again, then perhaps everything wouldn't have gotten turned upside down on him. His mouth curved into a gentle smile. "I arrived a couple of weeks ago. Did you just appear here in Somarium?"
Moving a bit closer, Kaname closed his eyes, visibly straining himself, and the bubble surrounding him extended to the boy. Though this was depleting his energy significantly, especially after helping others, the conversation would run a little more to his liking this way.
"Kaname Kuran," he declared, the smile growing as he extended his hand. "And you are?"

W-What is...? Could it be some kind of Geass? His eyes rapidly scanned the sphere, mind going blank.
Looking back to the man, Rolo frowned. "What is this?" he questioned, a slightly more suspicious edge to his voice this time around. He was quite happy to leave that hand right where it was thank you very much.

Internally, he cursed the kid, and his brain began its usual cycle of thinking again. "I'm not human," he admitted honestly, eyes still scanning their safety encasement before he smiled again. "I've grown so accustomed to people not being human here that I'm afraid I made an assumption that was quite staggering. I apologize."
Just then, Kaname sensed a large branch moving past them at high speeds. He altered his powers to allow it to skim the orb and as it partially entered, he yelled, "Look out," one hand taking the boy's arm and moving him out of harm's way as he stepped in front of the large branch. The heel of it hit his forehead, causing a little bit of blood to fall.
Making me do something like this, he thought darkly before turning back to the boy, the blood visible and the smile still present.
However... he had gotten what he wanted.
Lelouch.
That was who his aura resembled.

Again he staggered to his feet, confused and frustrated with this stranger. Were all people in this world of the same maddening variety? His suspicions doubled. If the man had ulterior motives then he would not live to see them fulfilled. Especially now that Rolo was aware of his brother's prescience in Somarium. He had to remain alive if only for his sake.
Nevertheless, he approached Kaname with emotion on his face that he couldn't hold back. "W-Why did you do that?" he demanded, making sure to keep a healthy distance between them. "You...you could have been killed."

He's not like Lelouch at all. One knew the art of manipulation while the other was an open book.
Although Kaname had read Lelouch's thoughts on occassion, he didn't like to pry into another person's mind too much. It made the game all too easy.
A moment later, he tilted his head, forcing his expression into one of curiosity. "Do you know Lelouch?"
[Have another OOC: Kaname and Lelouch get along and recognize that the other is a force to be reckoned with. We are toying with the idea of having them work together.]

He didn't like it.
"You don't even know me," he protested, face smoothing over into a mask of indifference again. He was determined to brush this off. One year ago this wouldn't have bothered him at all, but now... "Why would y--"
Do you know, Lelouch?
At this he stopped mid-sentence, eyes widening for but a brief moment. This man knew his brother. He knew his brother. He knew his brother. Did that make him an ally? Or perhaps he was an enemy of Lelouch's, the shadowed opposition. His trigger finger twitched at that possibility, itching again for the feel of cool metal against his palm.
"How... how do you know Brother?"

"Oh good. I hadn't just imagined it," Kaname smiled again. "You two look alike. So you are siblings... then I'm sure he'll be happy to have you here."
Kaname couldn't really account for the boy's nervousness accept to believe that he was a very mistrustful individual. He idly wondered why the two brothers were so peculiar. Their world seemed to have a lot of inimitable factors that he would have to take into consideration. He was already aware that Lelouch possessed something strange and that it could be potentially dangerous. However, Kaname knew he could hold his own in both power and intelligence.
"You're absolutely right. I don't know you. But, you were in need of help and I was capable of aiding you in that effort," he spoke charismatically. If the boy didn't understand compassion, perhaps he would get sheer logic.
"And Lelouch and I are acquaintances. We share a bit in common and I'm glad I met him when I first arrived here in Somarium. He was one of the people that graciously helped me out."

Which was not quite a lie, really. Generous was an extremely dubious term where Lelouch was concerned, as any who were acquainted with the man would know. And Rolo, in spite of his often puzzling and illogical feelings towards his false sibling, wasn't quite sure what to think of such irresolution. But he'd promised a future for the two of them together, and that was the only thing he had left to hold onto now that he'd given up his life for Lelouch's cause.
He shook his head and forced himself back to the present, to the storm and the wind and the curious young man before him. He was an abnormality. That much was certain. But...
Rolo shifted awkwardly, wrinkling his nose. He still failed to understand the man's reasoning, but.... "Doesn't it hurt?"

Strange boy...
Not that Lelouch was a picnic in terms of easy manipulation, but Kaname at least could tell what was false and what was truth with him. This boy was a completely different species. He didn't need to be read. Everything had been made available to Kaname. It was just... he didn't seem to be configured properly in the head.
"I would agree about your brother. Are you... looking for him?"
Reply
He shifted again, keenly aware of Kaname's fixation on him. This man was not only aquatinted with Rolo's brother, Kaname reminded him of Lelouch, as well. They had the dark eyes, sharp and focused save for the rare occasions when they were misted over, and it was clear that this man was extremely intelligent.
"You know where my Brother is?"

He pulled out his Dreamberry. "I don't believe I have spoken to Lelouch since the storm began, but we can call him and find out if he is in a safe place if you would like."
The boy hadn't provided his name yet, which was half the reason Kaname had pulled out the Dreamberry. He scrolled through, pretending that he was looking for Lelouch's name.
So... his name is Rolo.

Surely a pardon would be granted for this presumptuous, nosy, confounding...
"Thank you for your assistance until this point, but I no longer have any use for you." With that, he turned and began walking in the opposite direction, wondering what would happen once he hit the barrier of the orb. Would he go through it or would some magnificent force propel him backwards?
Rolo scowled. It didn't matter. After being told he was unwanted, the man would have to leave him alone. Let him talk about compassion and safety then.

Interesting, Kaname thought as he watched his delivery, his face perfectly unaffected by the diatribe of words that had clearly become Rolo's safety net in the situation.
The boy would never realize how much he was giving away about his brother. Just the simple implication of using people was enough to verify Kaname's suspicions about Lelouch. It was obvious that Rolo cared about his brother, but the connection between the two seemed to be unusual. Considering how different they were, it came as no surprise... but still...
Well, this ends my entertainment, he thought, the orb disappearing around the boy as he walked away.
