[After Ivan's death Lelouch is making an even greater attempt to avoid human contact than before. Any mention of the incident will most likely be dismissed or ignored all together, anyway

[he'd caught wind of what happened, and while he didn't know Ivan personally, he'd remembered Lelouch's request. clearly, he hadn't acted fast enough. so after a good half hour or so of searching, he comes to check the lower levels, only to find the prince there of all places. he's silent as he approaches, before kneeling before him, head bowed, and when he finally speaks his voice is quiet, struggling to speak coherently because this damn hotel seems to have impeded that as well]

My most apology, Your Majesty. I appear... missed it have to you.

[Raises his head to spare a brief glance at the arrival, smiling as he returns to the work he isn't doing, though there's little to it. Until you address him, damn it. He jerks a little, hands clenching into fists on his desktop. Why why why why why.]

E-Excuse me? Th...ah...that doesn't...

[fckingloyalty]

[raises his head once you begin speaking, and promptly blanches once he realizes what just happened, averting his eyes. no, you couldn't be roomed on that floor, that was...]

Terribly sorry b-being! I w-was not of realize...

[dividerbyzero]

[Already turning a brilliant shade of red, fingers tapping the keys distractedly. He does not need this right now, and it almost makes him angry how inconvenient this curse is.]

I-I'm fine. I take it you're on a speech impairment floor.

[fckingloyalty]

[you're not the only one, because once the color returns to his face, it returns with a vengeance. he's having a slightly hard time summoning his voice, and it's not because of his effect this time]

I... unfortunately, correct.

I did not... i-implementation that it with something functioned except names.

[dividerbyzero]

[Thankfully he's able to understand that for the most part, his face having twisted into a scowl to better mask his embarrassment.]

That isn't any good at all. My name, or titles I've found, acts as a trigger for the... Well, for the curse to activate. I thought I'd discovered a solution but apparently I was wrong.

[fckingloyalty]

[glances up at him for a moment, then back away, not willing to risk eye contact right now]

Solution?

[dividerbyzero]

Medical in nature, of course. [Clicks twice, breaking his rhythm. He pulls back as if bewildered, then hunches over again and continues at the new pace.]

[fckingloyalty]

[frowns, not sure if he's too happy with the concept of you self-prescribing treatment, but he knows you're not stupid enough to knowingly do anything that could cause permanent damage]

I see.

[dividerbyzero]

Mm.

[Can't bring himself to say any more than that, having already exhausted he desire to communicate. Simply click clicks away.]

[fckingloyalty]

[he's picking up on it, realizing he's rather overstayed his welcome, or that perhaps coming to look for him was a poor decision in the first place]

Do we hold the communications, yes?

[dividerbyzero]

Mm.

[Pauses, considering.]

Thank you, Jeremiah.

[fckingloyalty]

Thanks is not to be needing. I failed, to you.

[dividerbyzero]

May I ask how you came to such a conclusion?

[fckingloyalty]

You say them to protect, and today, one of them of the passing. I believe to am rather clear.

[dividerbyzero]

There's nothing you could have done. [Says this as if trying to convince himself.] Ivan knew he was going to die.
