[redfckngcomet]

[ Char seems to be writing another letter, this one by hand. This one is addressed to... yeah. You guessed it. ]

Dearest Haman

[2good4thegundam]

[Sayla's just going to knock at the door, not do any peeping.]

Ah...Brother? I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

[redfckngcomet]

[ Char turned to the door, and smiled meekly. ]

Oh, Artesia... not at all. Please, come in.

[2good4thegundam]

Right then...[And she takes a seat in an open chair.]

What, exactly, happened between you and Adette?

[redfckngcomet]

[ Char stares at Sayla for a few seconds, his sunglasses hiding any emotion on his face. ]

I'm not sure I should be having this discussion with my sister, Artesia.

[zetahatsudo]

[knock knock]

[redfckngcomet]

[ The knocking broke his daydreaming. He'd sense it was Kamille; both of them being Newtypes, after all. ]

Come in, Kamille.

[zetahatsudo]

[Opening the door, walking]

...After discussing it with Zero, I've decided to take you up on your suggestion. I'll lead, if you'll have me.

[redfckngcomet]

[ Char turned to face Kamille as he entered, and removed his sunglasses for a moment. He then folded his hands in his lap. ]

Kamille, do you know why I suggested that in the first place?

[capt_fanservice]

[What is stalking? Peeking over this guy's shoulder is intelligence-gathering, of course.]

[redfckngcomet]

[ She could only stand there for so long before he'd notice. He'd turn to face her, but didn't make any effort to cover up the letter. ]

Feeling nosy, Misato?

[capt_fanservice]

Keeping an eye on NERV's "allies" here is part of my mission.

That's an awfully sweet letter to be writing your commanding officer, though.

[redfckngcomet]

She's hardly my commanding officer anymore, but if you knew what Haman Karn was like, appeasement is one of the only things that actually gets through to her. I don't think I need to explain what the point of this is, either.

[aceshighsword]

You've been at that letter for some time, Commander.

[[Mio is NOT going to pry over his shoulder. She's not the nosy type... like that.]]

Something you needed to get off her chest?

[redfckngcomet]

[ He had been trying not to bring either of his roommates into this (especially not Asuka), but he wasn't going to push Mio away. He turned around in his swivel-chair to face her. ]

It's just some old issues that refused to go away when I left Zeon. [ Char sighs. ] How much do you know about the One Year War and its aftermath, Mio?

[aceshighsword]

Nothing that anybody else wouldn't know. The Federation defeated Zeon largely due to the efforts of the Gundam.

[[She may not be interested in aiding him, but, she will listen to his troubles all the same. After all... she... doesn't have a lot of time left before she's a desk jockey.]]

[redfckngcomet]

[ Char sighed. Yeah, there was a lot of spin in the aftermath of the One Year War. ]

After the fall of A Baoa Qu, those of Zeon who refused to surrender peacefully either went down fighting, or retreated to Zeon's last major stronghold: A hollowed-out asteroid in the asteroid belt called Axis. I went there as well. I had a relationship with its current leader, a woman by the name of Haman Karn. But, she... hurt me quite badly. Emotionally, I mean. Now I'm simply asking her not to try to attack the Titans, though I'm not fully confident she'll listen.

[ He offers Mio the letter, if she wanted to read it. Likewise, he'd answer her if she wanted to know just how Haman had hurt him. ]

[limit_of_fate]

[Tohya ignores the letter entirely, the fact that Char is writing it as he approaches is entirely coincidence.]

How are you doing?

[redfckngcomet]

I'm quite alright, thank you. Come in.

[ Char turns to face the newcomer. ]

I don't believe we've met.

[limit_of_fate]

Yeah, I'm Tohya Shiun. [He holds out his hand for a handshake.] Char Aznable right?

[redfckngcomet]

[ He returns the handshake. ]

Yes. It's a pleasure to meet you, Tohya.
