[Shirley wraps her arms around herself as she walks through the streets of Somni, trying to hide the apparent blood that's found its way onto her

[People find themselves in Somarium at the start of every month (with the exception of last month), and people from Britannia were no exception. He realized, much to his chagrin, that those who were previously deceased could arrive in Somarium (see: Clovis). However, the tampering with timelines that went on in Somarium wasn't a bad thing. It allowed him to be with Nunnally, Suzaku, and C.C., after all

[It really doesn't sound any more believable, and she clings tightly to the clothes he's given her, as if she's clinging to Lelouch himself.]

But...I don't understand.

I-I just saw you...

[How long ago? An hour? Maybe two

I know you did. It's extremely confusing and hard to understand when you first arrive.

[He gives her a curious look, brows furrowing slightly, before returning to the smile that was previously on her face. With every unsure word out of her mouth, he begins to compile a list of things they need to discuss - What Somarium is, how one arrives here, how things like timelines and death are irrelevant to this place, what she does and doesn't remember in Britannia, things she needs to know concerning a few of the residents, things she needs to know concerning goings on in Britannia... The list could go on and on.

Her innocence needs to be preserved... at least, what's left of it.]

I'll explain everything as soon as we can comfortably talk without fear of interruption or somebody overhearing our conversation. For now, we can either find somewhere for you to change your clothes or return to my home.

...R-Right.

[Of course.

She has to focus. She has to stay calm, if she wants to learn anything about this place--even if she is confused and disoriented. Things would surely be easier with Lulu here, at least. She knows she can trust him, so...she nods.

And then she turns back to him with a little more confidence, and gives him a gentle smile.]

Will...will you show me, then? I mean--where you've been staying...

[If he doesn't mind. But he did offer--didn't he? It's difficult to tell what's real anymore...]

[action]

[zerointegrity]

Absolutely.

[He extends his arm, motioning for her to walk ahead. The smile on his face is warm, familiar, and (above all else) genuine.]

I parked my motorcycle not too far from here. [A pause] Don't worry, though, I brought an extra helmet for you. I had a feeling we would be leaving this crowded area in favor of somewhere a bit more intimate. As for the clothes I brought you... you can tuck them under your arm or squeeze them into the small bag on the side of the bike, though I don't know if the jacket will fit...

[He trails off, searching for his key in various pockets.]

You're also welcome to wear it if those options don't suit you.

[action]

[forgetsyounot]

[Right.

Wearing it. That...that was the idea, wasn't it? It'll be easier, perhaps, if she waits until she gets to his house, where she'd have a lot more privacy, but...]

It probably would be safest if I wore it. I wouldn't want to let it slip out from under me on accident or something...

[And the shirt can go in the bag by itself, where she can grab and change into it later. As long as everything's okay with him and all.

She'll still blush a bit though, at the thought of finally getting a chance to talk to him, uninterrupted...]

But, um...which way is your motorcycle, Lulu?

[She'll follow him anywhere...]
