So.

It seems Rolo's left. That's a shame.

I wonder how many Britannians would end up here.

There's a cafe selling pizza; come and find me. They need to be paid.

My...?

Ah. No, our money is worthless here.

[mybffcheesekun]

Ah. That's going to be quite troublesome for you, Lelouch.

Filtered;

[geassed]

Mm. You'll have to get a job, it seems.

Filtered;

[mybffcheesekun]

I suppose they'll take to you better.

Filtered;

[geassed]

...Don't try to get out of it and push it all on me, again.

Filtered;

[mybffcheesekun]

I don't work, you know. It's too troublesome. Besides, you have another mouth to feed, don't you?

Filtered;

[geassed]

No. Rolo is provided for, as he's under legal age.

Filtered;

[mybffcheesekun]

I'm not.

Filtered;

[geassed]

I'm well aware.

I ordered a large pizza. We'll share.

If you keep dawdling, Lelouch, it will get cold.

Filtered;

[geassed]

I'm coming.

[And he leaves the apartment, leaving a cryptic note to Rolo: Don't follow, will be back with her soon, it says.

He takes the subway so it's quicker, heads towards the cafe she's waiting in. He opens the door, spots brightly hued hair, and heads towards the table.]

[She senses him near, but she doesn't turn around, even as she reaches for her next pizza. Her placid expression shows none of the thoughts that are weighing on her mind, and she simply murmurs when he's within earshot.]

You're late.

[geassed]

I wasn't aware we'd set a time.

[He slides into the seat across from her, taking a slice of pizza. He's hungry.]

[She doesn't mind; and she doesn't remember the last time they've eaten like this. Perhaps such a thing had never happened. After all, they could not afford to be seen with each other when Lelouch was in civilian garb. Her tone was slightly gentler around him, even as a ghost of an amused smile tugged at her lips.]

We've never eaten like this before, have we?

Filtered;

[geassed]

Together in public, you mean?

[He bites into the pizza as he considers her words. Chew, chew, chew, swallow. He's still silent for a moment, because he realises that their interaction, while friendly, has never been taken anywhere public. Back home, there's a reason. Here, there's no one but Gino and Suzaku to see her, and it's a big city.]

...No.
