Lelouch?! C.C.?!

[The video feed picks up on a dark haired boy with wide green eyes. He’s searching desperately for something and there’s the occasional glimpse of what looks to be a helmet in his right hand.]

I don’t have time for this.

[His voice sounds tense and he takes a couple of steps backwards from the small stream of people who are

Comments

[manofgnee]

Wait...I know you. You're Euphie's...

...Er...hi. Welcome to the City...Suzaku, right?

[sword_of_zero]

[Another stranger who recognizes his name and isn't disgusted by him. What is going on? He's tempted to put his mask on but he has a feeling it won't make any difference.]

Who are you?

[manofgnee]

I'm Hanna. I'm...er...friends with Euphie. I think you know her, she's talked about you a lot in the past.

[They're only 'er...friends' because honestly, he has no idea if they're officially dating or not.]

[sword_of_zero]

[A lot in the past...?] How long have you known Her Highness?

[manofgnee]

Uh...oh, wow, a while. I've been here almost a year, so...8, maybe 9 months? You sort of lose track of these sorts of things here.

Euphie's great though, she and I hang out a lot. We were talking about you a few days ago...you sort of just left, but hey, you're back! Granted, you don't remember anything, but that's okay!

[sword_of_zero]

I don't understand why I would leave and then come back, but it doesn't sound like I have a choice with either. Did I...say anything about the state of my world when I was last here?

[manofgnee]

Uhhh...honestly, I don't know. You and I didn't know each other too well when you were here. I think you may have accused me of being too friendly with Euphie like...once. And then we talked maybe a few other times, but that was it.

You could ask somebody else here, though!

[sword_of_zero]

Too friendly with Her Highness?

[He hasn't officially been her knight in sometime but that doesn't stop his protective side from kicking in.]

[manofgnee]

Well, yeah, she and I are pals...

[sword_of_zero]

That doesn't sound like something that would raise concerns.

[Either there's more to the story than what the other man is telling him or he was connecting it with something else when he was last here.]

[manofgnee]

Yeah, I know! I think previous you may have had some slight paranoia. Understandable.

[sword_of_zero]

That's possible, as long as your relationship with Her Highness is a respectable one then you won't have to worry about me making any accusations this time.

[manofgnee]

Yeah, it is, don't worry! Euphie is fantastic, I wouldn't ever do anything to upset or hurt her.

[sword_of_zero]

[Relaxes a little.] I'm glad that she has so many friends who care about her here.

[manofgnee]

Euphie's one of the nicest people I know! It's easy to like her.

[sword_of_zero]

It is. She has a very kind and gentle heart.
