[The video turns on as soon the Dreamberry hits the ground, the camera instantly covered by snow. Several minutes pass before the snow is wiped from the camera and grumbling is heard

[Well that was a nice stroll through the supermarket. Glad her vegetables weren't trying to murder her. Plus not reliving five centures + worth of memories during that one week is great. Still, that boy seems to keep missing it...On the way to the house now..walking by. He's probably asleep--..]

[Oh hey there's some kid on the ground yelling at snowmen. Honestly kids these days. Ho hum. Wait isn't that Lelouch? Oh he's on the ground alright. Covered in snow. Hey that's kind of funny--..

Throwing coal, Lelouch? Seriously? ]

3/3

[Okay nevermind that's hilarious. The witch adjusts some of the boxes in her arms, a few books, pizza ingredients and the like, and as unphased as ever, begins to laugh. You ever get the feeling that the one person you didn't want to laugh at you is there laughing at you? Yeah this is that time.]

Seems that sleep-coma's over.

[zerointegrity]

[If looks could kill, C.C. would be dead right now. Not that she hasn't seen these looks from him in the past, but this is the first time in Somarium that he's sent daggers her way.]

I would much rather be deep in a sleep-coma than covered in snow at the hands of a ridiculous snowman! I have to go back inside and change everything: my pants, my sweater, get a new coat and scarf, new socks.

[He's so high-maintenance.]

I didn't plan on having my entire wardrobe soaked as soon as I set foot in the front yard.

2/2

[zerointegrity]

[He stares at her for several long moments, seething with anger.]

And who are you to laugh at me, you witch!?

[aevitas]

[C.C. very calmly opens the door, brushing the snowflakes off her little cashmere dress, snowboots kicking off snow on the mat before she sets her things inside, leaning against the doorframe, still doing that quiet laugh of hers]

Someone who hasn't been in a sleep-coma and is more aware than you, I suppose.

[zerointegrity]

Just because you've not been in a sleep-coma doesn't mean you can laugh at my misfortune, C.C. [A pause] Warning me that the snowmen now attack unsuspecting passersby with coal would have been nice, but it was foolish of me to think that you would be thoughtful for once and think of somebody besides yourself.

[aevitas]

[she gives him the dryest look she can muster. he knows that she can be surprisingly unselfish when it comes to him, and in that she simply shrugs her shoulders]

And I suppose taking glass out of your foot from your previous adventure was proof of that lack of care? Interesting.

I didn't even know you were awake.

[zerointegrity]

[He chooses to ignore everything she's done for him and concentrate solely on the times that she's gone against his orders.]

I awoke early this morning, but you were nowhere to be found.

[aevitas]

You seem to forget that we are equals, Lelouch. I'm not bound to your schedule. Besides, have I ever been known to wake at that hour? Clearly your sense of knowing what you do of me has dulled in your sleep-state.

[zerointegrity]

I'm fully aware that we are equals... and that your sleeping habits are not exactly normal. Just realize that I am frustrated right now. I've been asleep for--

[He glaces at his Dreamberry to check the date]

Nearly two months.

[Lelouch stops and looks at her, his purple eyes making contact with her golden ones, before ascending the stairs.]

You know I like to have a solid understanding of everything that is going on in the world around me. Having been in a coma for the past few months, I haven't the slightest idea what the current state of Somarium is.

[aevitas]

[she followed, leaning against the railing, her arms crossed]
In short? I was right after all on things taking a turn for the worse, as they say. Things are hardly as light-hearted as they would appear in this place. You're fortunate you missed some of the events. I'm sure you've heard bit and pieces of what happened. So there's little to be said. [her eyes tighten at that, so much agony, her voice is clipped at that.]
You might want to stay in this house, also. Mistletoe are currently dangling around here. I hear they're pretty forceful. If you can't defend yourself against snowmen, I doubt you'd like these decorations either.

[zerointegrity]

In what way am I fortunate that I missed some of the recent events? After all I've been through and all that I have set myself up to experience, you don't think I can handle some of the hurdles set before me in Somarium?

[He stops in the doorway and turns to look at his accomplice.]

Don't just stop on the stairs. It's not like you're one to respect my privacy.

[aevitas]

I doubt you'd like to relive your worst memories and have them magnified tenfold. Not like I enjoyed it. You know why. [voice is blank as ever, but her eyes are slightly glazed at that, bitterly]

[a short bark of laughter]

Inviting me?

[zerointegrity]

And if I am inviting you?

[A laugh]

Reliving our worst memories? Was that what the residents experienced while I was sleeping peacefully? How unfortunate. I suppose I am rather blessed, considering I didn't have to see their faces again.

[aevitas]

Myself included.
[she walks past him, smiling bemusedly]
Then I'm very flattered.
