[Suzaku is out for a late evening run with his canine companion Tumbles. It's growing dark but not so dark that he doesn't notice the larger than normal crowds gathered about the fountain and other places. He hasn't been here for very long so he can't say for sure if this is entirely normal or not, but the last time he was out jogging this late it

Suzaku...?

[sweet_mmrs]

I --uhhh.

[ Decides to grab the shape-shifting whatever and drag her to the side, away from Suzaku, so they can talk in private. ]

Are you - are you some sort mind-reading witch?

[ Because she's heard of those before, in fairy tales and such. And that would explain some things. BUT SERIOUSLY WHAT IS HER LIFE ORZ. ]

[shirogiku]

[Shirley is surprisingly strong; damn, Shiro wanted to stare at Suzaku from a better angle]

You could say that.

I prefer chocolate to pizza, though.

For a chocolate I would rat out anyone.

Do you have chocolate?

And ask me something already, we have only so much time.

[Shiro keeps casting sideway glances in Lelouch and Suzaku's general direction]

[sweet_mmrs]

Chocolate..?

[ staaares. ]

Ah, uh, well. About questions. Well, uh. Only if you promise not to tell Lelouch, but if you're a mind-reading witch, you might know, and uhhh, well.

[ Her voice drops to a rushed and embarrassed whisper ]

D-doyouknowwhoLelouchreallylikes?

[shirogiku]

Well, most of us, reasonable fangirls, think that you are as much of a romantic interest as he could have.

You see, men like him are more interested in power struggles than in women in general.

And, umm, he might like Suzaku that way too, but my mind reading powers tell me contrary things about that.

[lets out a long sigh]

[sweet_mmrs]

[ She said she was a 'romantic interest.' That's a good thing, right? But wait - ]

He might like Suzaku? Of course he likes Suzaku. They're friends.

[ Wait, weren't they talking about - ]

What -- do you mean he might like-like Suzaku?!

[ Her brain, watch it die. ]

[shirogiku]

Yes, yes.

[sighs again; naive girls are so naive]

Haven't you noticed anything of that sort between them? At all?

[sweet_mmrs]

What? Of course not! They're friends. Who are - always together. And seem - very close. Yeah.

[ skjdhrekdeh DON'T PUT IDEAS INTO HER HEAD, YOU KNOW HER IMAGINATION ]

... Are you serious?

[ dkrjekjfskrjkdjfgele. ]

[shirogiku]

[that's exactly why I'm saying this...]

Maybe we should ask them?

I myself am very curious. They do give a third party that kind of impression sometimes.

[sweet_mmrs]

[ SHE'S SITLL NOT OVER THE 'WTF' OF THIS WHOLE SITUATION OKAY. ]

But - they can't. They're friends, right? Friends.

[ Although that would explain a whole - lot of things. OH MY GOD, IS LELOUCH GAY? HE MUST BE GAY, RIGHT. OH. MY. GOD. ]

[shirogiku]

Friends with benefits?

[is grinning suggestively]

Well, I think he believes in love between persons, which is independent of gender.

[is being a total smartass; hastity puts on sunglasses to avoid being Geassed to go kill herself]

[sweet_mmrs]

Friends with b-b-b-b-b-what??

[ sooobs, why does everyone enjoy trolling Shirley so whyyyy ]

Do you mean to suggest they - that they have ever, that they - that they - d-d-d-did something?!

[shirogiku]

[I'm not trolling her, I'm gossiping]

Maaaybe they did...

[whistles idly]

[ BRAIN. IT BROKE. ]

2/2

[sweet_mmrs]

Heeeey! [ Her voice rises as she gets more flustered ] You shouldn't just make assumptions about people if you don't even know for sure, you know!

[ Like her! Okay, maybe not like her. But uhhh, in general, that's good advice! ]

[shirogiku]

Tsk, it's a deduction based on facts...
