[Lelouch glances over to Kallen, then to C.C., then down at his hands, then anywhere else he could possibly focus his eyes. He obviously had not thought this through before he sent Kallen the message to come to his home for refuge. It's not as if this had been the first awkward encounter involving these two women... but, for some reason, this just seemed particularly worse. He couldn't escape to his quarters, he couldn't corner C.C. and tell her to handle things, he couldn't give orders to Kallen to go do something... anything.

He sighs.

Asking C.C. her opinion before he sent that text message to Kallen would probably have been better. However, this was obviously the best situation, as undesirable as it might be. He just couldn't have let her stay there and end up getting injured as a result of his actions.

He looks back at Kallen and offers a strained smile.]

[C.C. blinked expressionessly from behind the large stuffed Cheese-kun plush; her legs crossed, one over the other, beside Lelouch. It wasn't that she didn't like Kallen, in fact, she considered her good entertainment. But they had parted ways in life, and to be back as if they were all still connected in some way was both odd and unnecessary in the Witch's mind.

She cast a hooded glance to Lelouch from the corner of her eye, well aware of his discomfort. She could read him like a book, and she knew now that he was regretting this, no matter how much he would have felt bad should he not have helped.

The urge to snarkily comment on this situation with her typical sarcasm rang up in her throat, but she felt it best that they were best to break this silence themselves. Besides, why do it when someone else can? ]

[Damn them. Kallen had been almost certain that at least C.C. would have some sort of smartass thing to say, but even than vain hope had failed. But whatever. This isn't her problem. They're the hosts, let them think of something.

She catches Lelouch's strained smile. Right--how to react? She humors him with a brief upturn of the lip, then settles back in her chair and folds her arms. Her face eventually settles into more of an annoyed purse, and her eyes flick between the two of them.

What the hell could she say, anyway? Had any good pizza lately? How's the Geass these days? Stupid, stupid.]

[What could he possibly say to either of these two to make this situation less... undesirable? He had nothing to talk about with Kallen and nothing that he would talk about with C.C. in Kallen's presence. This was certainly not good.

Not good at all, Lelouch.

He clears his throat and brushes some hair out of his eyes, using all power he possibly had to remain calm and collected. He couldn't let either woman realize he was in so much inner distress.]

I wonder how long we'll be confined to my basement...
