"Just a moment."
Slipping on the mask was easy enough. It had been a few days since the loss, and Lelouch was, if nothing else, a consummate liar. His smile, his face, his body posture, his voice, even his expressive purple eyes, all were his accomplices in the deception, not a single one giving him away as he opened the door for Kairi.
"Miss Kairi. It's a pleasure to meet in you in person. Please, come in."
Stepping aside, the teenager gestured for the recent arrival to Rivelata to enter the household, never for a second letting his smile slip and betray the feelings that lay hidden.

The answer was an honest one. Since Minako had visited, he had felt better... though not to the degree he was showing. No, it would be a long while before he would truly be that well again-- indeed, it had been a long time since he was truly that well, and perhaps he never fully would be again. It was hard to say.
Still, he did his best not to let the deception slip, not to let the facade falter, and beckoning her to follow, he led her through the hallway to the living room, gesturing for her to take a seat before he did, ever the gracious host.
"Please, have a seat. I've been experimenting with a new recipe. Triple chocolate chip cookies with extra butter. I was hoping I could get an unbiased opinion. There are ones with milk chocolate, white chocolate, and dark chocolate, though none mixed. I can get some milk for you, if you like."
Once they were both settled, whether she wished milk or not, and accepted or declined his offer, he smiled, sitting opposite her.
"I hope you've been settling in well?"
