Are you sure about this? You haven't even finished the other game yet.

[ A pause. ]

...ah, yes. I guess the language barrier would be a problem. Well, I'll trust you for now. They'd say the same thing, right?

[Curious whine.]

[idealizing]

[ Blinking at. You're not a Pokémon, are you? Or at the very least one N hasn't seen. ]

Hello, little one. [ A slight smile. ] What brings you here?

[tinysunbeam]

[A bark! This person seems so sad so Chibi hops back and forth playfully, crouching down on his front legs with his butt in the air and wagging his tail. Be happy, human!]

[kingside]

Evidently, I'm meant to speak with you.

[Hint: He doesn't look too thrilled about it.]

[idealizing]

[ N's look, in contrast, is indecipherable. ]

Am I meant to respond, then?

[kingside]

If you like. If you choose not to, I'll leave.

[idealizing]

But that wouldn't be very interesting.

[kingside]

It would be more interesting than the two of us silently staring at each other.

[idealizing]

You can learn a lot about someone just by looking at them, actually.

[ And so he starts looking. Thoroughly. Enjoy the undeniable discomfort that results from being stared shamelessly at. ]

[kingside]

[He's relatively used to this, actually. Have a sarcastic look for your trouble.]

Are you quite finished?

[idealizing]

Not yet.

[ No need to be a primadonna, Lelouch. He's not sizing you up in that sort of way. Another minute or so, and then he announces his conclusions. ]

Hm... you've traveled plenty, but at the same, you haven't gone very far at all. That's a shame; the world is a beautiful place. You're particular about things, how you dress, what you eat. You might've been famous once. You're good at games, like checkers.

[ It's all fairly run-of-the-mill, traits anyone could've guessed, until without any warning— ]

When were you crowned?

[kingside]

[Traits anyone could've guessed is stretching it, but as tempting as it is to lift an eyebrow at the assertions made, Lelouch's expression remains perfectly neutral. Well.]

Answering questions defeats the purpose.

[idealizing]

You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

[ N's expression doesn't change, either, and he just continues to watch Lelouch through calm gray eyes. ]

But your face earlier... it was the face of someone who never wanted to be king.

[kingside]

That's a very specific description.

[And not one he plans on denying, considering, but even so.]

Is it a face you've seen before?

[idealizing]

It's a face I've worn before.

[kingside]

What were you king of?

[idealizing]

A cause that I regret.

[kingside]

Not a country?

[idealizing]

Ideals are much larger than countries.

[ His gaze trails back to Lelouch's face, steady, straightforward. ]

One could say they're even larger than the world itself.

[kingside]

[N gets a tiny smile for that.]

I didn't say they weren't.

[champ_coordinator]

Greetings, friend. You look a litle lost.

[idealizing]

Is that so?

[ With the quirk of a smirk. ]

Maybe I just don't know where I'm going yet.

[champ_coordinator]

Curious. Do you like to speak in riddles?

[idealizing]

Only to people who understand them.

[champ_coordinator]

I like a good riddle just as the next man does.
