[IC: post-dark!Zero]

[following his encounter with cornelia, one ill-fated prince who really has had better weeks is in route to the sewers to seek assistance from the only person he can really ask right now]


((OOC Notes: Because I screwed up my timing, the top and bottom threads are about a week apart. We are assuming after talk with C.C., Lelouch chilled in the sewers for a while and later ran into Suzaku while the knight was Zero-hunting. Just go with me here. o/))

. . . and he would have lost any memory of it too.

[considers that pause but never falters]

It's a possibility.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

What other way is there?

[pizzapathy]

[A wild C-ro appears!]

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

[how DOES she fit into his uniform . . . I MEAN a;sjdhkfkglgf]

Zero! But where did you--

[pizzapathy]

[aaand she's gone!]

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

Where are you going now?

[casting one look at Lelouch and then DASHING AFTER her, but. . . inevitable knight failure, anyone?]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[well this is both unexpected and terribly convenient. there will have to be scoldings later...]

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

[. . . and walking back from WILD C-RO CHASE of inevitable failure]

He was too quick. . . but he's definitely here.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[is still a bit dazed by this whole thing and replies quieter than normal]

... Ah.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

[-- g-g-guilt. not quite meeting his eyes]

I apologize. . . you're still not feeling well, are you?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[remains cautious about suzaku's present behavior and rubs the back of his head, which is still somewhat tender from his fall with cornelia]

I've been better. It looks like the same could be said for you.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

Eh? They're only stings. . . I should be able to take the bandages off any day now.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... That many can be dangerous. You should keep a close watch on them and make sure they're properly treated before you remove the bandages entirely.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

I'm familiar with treating this kind of injury. There's no need to worry about it.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

There is a great deal of difference between cat scratches and bee stings.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... Allow me to help. I caused you needless worry after all.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

Eh? But you didn't intend to worry anyone. . . you don't have to do anything.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Suzaku... I want to help.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

Lelouch. . .

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

. . . I understand.

Thank you.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[relaxes somewhat for the first time during the conversation]

We should return to the cabin.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

Mm. . . is there something there that you think would help?

[glances in the direction that C.C. fled, frowning darkly, and then jerks his head in the direction of the cabin to begin walking]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[notes where suzaku's attention goes but continues talking]

Well, first we have to ensure you actually removed all the stingers. You're used to treating wounds that do not require such meticulous inspection.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't it be difficult to ignore one that had been in for this long, though?
