[scoffing, yes that's a hand on his hip thanks for noticing.] As if my Mundane is the most consistent individual. And here she was claiming she would never send anyone anywhere...

[~~wow rude I'm right here asshole~~ He sighs, then gives Suzaku a smile.]

Regardless, I'm sure sticking together we'll both be fine. [Honestly he's a bit skeptical, but it's he and Suzaku. They'll certainly be fine. Probably.]

Ah, Lelouche! I ... didn't really mean for you to hear that ...

... well, I'll do my best. [He absolutely trusts Lelouche, but ...] But do you know anything about what's going on at this game, either? It seems complicated, and kind of confusing ...

[He smiles sympathetically.] My apologies. Though perhaps watch what you say next time; you'll find it's the nature of this place for others to hear it.

[His expression flattens.] Honestly, it's the responsibility of your Mundane to tell you things like that... [So maybe she should actually go read the world-building posts and like, idk stop playing Sonic Generations or something...] But to keep it brief, apparently there are these creatures called "Pokémon" with supernatural abilities who had a giant conflict with humanity-- a conflict which ended in utter catastrophe, and now humanity is working to rebuild while striving to maintain a balance in power between the two groups, which is manifested by mankind's ability to both bond with the Pokémon and share their power... [He trails off, realizing the extent of his word vomit.]

...It's a bit complex to explain in brief actually.

[yeah that's a pretty blank look he gave you there for a second.]

... ahaha. You're right; to be honest that was a lot of words there I didn't completely understand. So, humans and Pokemon are trying to get along after a war? That much makes sense to me. Did I explain it briefly enough?

[His mun promises to read the worldbuilding posts tomorrow morning. They look fascinating, but new PS3 is beckoning ....]

Edited 2013-12-29 06:27 (UTC)

[S I G H

Of course he didn't understand. Of course. Why did he even bother?]

Yes, I suppose that will suffice for now.

[hang in there, lelouche]

I'll study up, of course! I'm looking forward to having another opportunity to work together.

I'm sure you'll both be fine, Suzaku.

[it's Nunally and she can see and he's not wearing Zero's mask, uh ... shit.] I--! ... h-hi. Er, I can explain ...

Oh? Explain what?

[Completely clueless here, since she has no idea why Suzaku would react like that.]

You mean, you aren't going to try and keep my brother out of trouble?

Ah, it's nothing. [If Nunally isn't going to ask about why he isn't dead and/or pretending to be a dead revolutionary, he's going to roll with it.]

Of course I'll keep Lelouche out of trouble. But you have to keep yourself out of trouble, too, or he'll follow you into it!

[Rolling with it is probably a good idea.]

I know. Always so overprotective.

Well, you are the most precious person alive to him. You can't really fault him for doing anything to be sure you're all right.

[Suzaku: contemplate how you explicitly thwarted Lelouche trying to take care of Nunally. Hate self.]

I know, but sometimes I wish he would look after himself as well.

[Because her two most precious people were Lelouch and Suzaku.

Feeling that knife twisting deeper, Suzaku?]

... me too.

I'll just have to work even harder to make sure he's all right, won't I?

[Ah, yeah, you sure did kill your best friend when he asked you to, even though you knew it would break Nunally's heart. Good. Job. Bro. (the masochistic burn, it is so good.)]

Edited (i can't spell ) 2013-12-30 00:16 (UTC)

You promise, Suzaku? That you'll take care of yourself and Brother?

If you don't, I fear my mun might get ideas.

[And she totally didn't sob over his dying and dead body after you did it, either.]

[wait, he has to take care of himself, too? He's kind of forgotten how to do that.

On the other hand, it's not exactly like he can die or anything, no matter how careful he is ...]

I'll do my best. I swear to you that Lelouche will come to no harm. [this time. He gets down on one knee and bows, smiling a little.] No, ah, 'ideas' necessary, My Lady.

[as Lelouche's mun says 'play nice!' while cutting out fabric, haha, oh my HEART]

[She looks slightly startled at the getting down on one knee thing, since, well... she doesn't like it when people do that. Especially friends.]

Good.

[She gives a small smile.]

They better not be, otherwise my mun might want to see what this place is all about.

[Ahahah. Tell RT that Robin says hi!]

[He stands from his mostly-intended-to-be-playful bow. He didn't promise his own safety for a reason, though.]

Ah, well, my mun has finally done her reading, so it seems it's about humans exploring the world with creatures called Pokemon as their companions long after a terrible war. [An apologetic glance away.] I'm not sure I could honestly say it seems like a safe place to play. Although maybe it's a little more friendly than our own world? At least the government isn't, um ... well. Britannia. At least the government isn't Britannia.

[told them! :D]

Edited 2013-12-30 02:13 (UTC)

We can all be grateful that the government isn't Britannia.

[He very much approves.]

Pokemon...? What sort of creatures are they?

[The idea that the government isn't like Britannia makes her feel a little relieved, but...

Oh, wait, distraction. The best distraction.]

Brother!

I'm not entirely certain what Pokemon are? But they look like animals and my mun wants me to be able to talk to them, so I suppose I'll find out soon enough.

[Suzaku is surprised at Lelouche for a moment - but just a moment. Clearly not everyone's memories are lining up properly right now. What are canon points, anyway?]

It will certainly make keeping you alive and well simpler.

Hello again, Nunnally. [A smile for her, as always. And a little sad, as always. Timelines. Why can't we have nice things?

He gives a bit of a snort at Suzaku's response.]

As the saying goes, "Physician, heal thyself."

[And their relationship continues to be an endless loop of hello pot, meet kettle.]

You'll have to let me know what they're like then!

[She's gotten used to this, unfortunately - her mun has made her go through a tearful reunion twice so far.

Her smile, when he addresses her, is sad as well. But it doesn't change the fact that she's happy to see him. Like always.]

I hope so, because you promised to keep him safe. [And then she looks at Lelouch.] And you have to make sure Suzaku stays safe.

[That request is somewhat ironic.]

Lelouch has already done more than enough to make sure I'm safe. Isn't that so, Lelouch?

Obviously. [Because Suzaku makes it so easy to keep him out of trouble.] I know you'll worry otherwise. [A glance to his friend. Hear that Suzaku? Nunnally will worry if you don't promise to--

Oh well yes that.

His mouth is a line as he responds.] You know, it's not as if I didn't offer you the opportunity to change that. [It's not like he has Jeremiah at the ready to do his bidding or anything.

And if you're trying to make him feel guilty for saving your life over and over again, it's not exactly working.

Much.]

[Nunnally is quiet as she glances between the two of them. She's not entirely sure what they're talking about, although she has her suspicions.]

Brother... Suzaku...

[glare.] The chance for me to have control over my own life passed me by a long time before I had a choice--!

[Suzaku draws a breath through his nose instead of continuing. He's glad Lelouch is here; why can't he just act that way? Letting it out, he sighs.] On the other hand, it's come in useful, and I guess it will again.

[oh shit he kind of forgot Nunally is right here, maybe this isn't the place to argue about the Geass.] It's all right, Nunally. We just ... had a fight a while back. It's still kind of a sore point.

Edited 2013-12-30 03:35 (UTC)

[riling a bit] We've been over this, just what would you have had me--

[Ah, right, Nunnally's watching. Um. quite.

He exhales. Slowly.] More or less.

The time has probably come to let it go, in any case. [Not like they haven't tried that already, actually. Unfortunately, neither of them are really the type to let anything go completely.]

Sorry about that, Nunnally. [He offers her an apologetic smile.] Why don't we...talk about something else. [Giving Suzaku a poignant glance. Not that he blames him, just...perhaps they should continue to avoid arguing in front of his sister.]

You two always fight.

[Honestly, she was used to it by now. After all, Suzaku's introduction to them involved him punching her brother, so.

But she knows that what they're talking about runs deeper then a children's squabble. Her standard canon point is end of series, after all, following the fireworks at Ashford. It's why she likes places like this - where she can see and talk to her brother and Suzaku and Euphy and everyone else.

But that's neither here nor there, she supposes.

So she'll let them have their subject change.]

Of course. What else would you two like to discuss?

[Nunally looks down and ah, that is the taste of being a complete asshole. Of course that's how Nunally feels - and she's the last person he'd ever want to hurt. Ever. Hadn't he gone out of his way to make sure she wasn't overly troubled when Lelouch's memories were taken? (As though it had eased anything other than his own conscience.)

He forces a smile.] For starters, it's a miracle we're all here and all right. It's been a long time since that last happened, isn't that true? Why don't we go do something fun together?

[Don't mind him as he also joins the "shot through the heart" club.

Once upon a time he thought he could protect Nunnally from everything. Those days had long past, hadn't they.

He casually rolls with the subject change; he could probably make the most convincing shift out of the three of them, though honestly that wasn't really saying much. Considering that Suzaku's suggestion prompted him to keep his mouth shut.

Now wasn't the time for cynical banter, or regrets.]

It has, yes.

[Especially since from where she's from, they're both dead (or sort of dead in Suzaku's case) and she's alone, running Britannia. But what's done is done, there is no way to travel back in time and undo everything that they had done.

She lifts the tone in her voice, giving Suzaku a small smile.]

Oh? Like what?

[He privately thinks it's a bit of a miracle that Lelouch had nothing to add, but he can see his friend's eyes; they're all full of regrets and tinged with resentment. No need to dwell on that now.

Besides, if Nunally can see she's suffering terribly right now. He owes her some happiness. And Lelouch, well ... that's too complicated to sort out right now.]

I don't know! How about we go to a festival? Or a walk in a park. Or watch for shooting stars - we can do that together now, Nunally.

We could go fishing like we did when we were kids ...

Edited 2013-12-30 04:39 (UTC)

[He watches them talk quietly; as always, it made him happy to see them get along, and enjoy each other's company.

The last suggestion made him flinch.]

What if we all had tea together? [His tone was a bit rushed, and a smile fell easily into place.] That would be pleasant, wouldn't it?

[~~Insert awful Frozen joke here~~]

You just want to see Brother not catch any fish again, don't you?

[Her tone is light, teasing.]

We could do all of those, even the tea. It would be fun, since I could see it all now too. Especially the stars... I haven't gotten a chance to stargaze since I was little.

~~[I need to see Frozen, don't I?]~~

[glance at Lelouch--]

[and a smile for Nunally.] To be honest, watching your brother attempting physical activity is almost too painful. Forget I said it.

[thinking of the last time they all had tea together ...] Did I ever teach either of you how to make origami frogs? [It really was that long ago, huh ...]

[A warm smile at Nunnally.] We should stargaze again sometime, too. Like we used to do in the palace garden.

[He exhales. The physical activity jokes were routine by now, getting annoyed was a waste of effort.]

I don't recall that you did. [Nunnally could make cranes of course, but he'd never seen her make other animals.]

[She gives her brother a soft smile in return. She remembers stargazing at the Aries Villa, but it was so very long ago and the memories dim.

At Suzaku's question, she turns a curious look his way. Paper cranes, she knew how to make, but she doesn't recall learning anything else.]

No, I don't think so, either.

[This is really nostalgic for him.] Then I'll have to teach you both, and we can compete to see whose frog can jump the farthest.

[A sigh]

Does everything have to be a competition with you?

[A light giggle.]

It's nice to see that some things never change, isn't it, Brother?
