IC: Origami therapy

[thekingsgambit]

[away from some of the post-holiday mingling, one emo exiled prince is spending some quiet time inside his cabin, sitting at the table in the common room. the table is decorated with various multi-colored shapes designed from folded paper and a reasonable stack of not-yet-folded paper sits near his elbow. he starts making the creases for his next creation, expecting to be uninterrupted for the next hour or so...]

[yeah not looking up from the star, totally gonna show you up]

Huh? Well, I came to say hi to Suzu-chan and you. See what you guys were up to, you know. Why?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[seeing is believing]

You mentioned that I have not been adept at hiding my concerns as of late. I am curious what you meant by that.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[then believe this-- STAH NUMBAH TWO IS DONE and only kind of smushed, shush]

Oh, you just seemed kind of sad most of the time. You get quiet and aren't really all frustrated or laughing at me like you normally do.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[this is going to take a while...]

Do I laugh at you so much?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[pretty much! :Db]

Not a lot, but I like it when you do.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Many girls dislike being teased.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

I didn't say you tease me! Just that you laugh whenever I do something dumb or silly. I don't mind that, since I like my friends having fun more.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I admit it has been harder to find amusement in such things when so many seem content with their place here.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Like I said, it's not that we're content, it's just we know we can't do anything about it so we make the best of it. Do you know how many times I tried to break the barrier, Lelouch?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

You?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Yup, me. I think it was three times before Serenity had to tell Shuichi to make me stop. It was too dangerous since it was camp and all.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... I see.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

I'm frustrated too. I should be a lot stronger than this, but I'm not. I can only try to get stronger so everyone can get free. I know you want to do it your own way, and that's cool. But you can still have a little fun while you're here and make friends, you know?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[pauses and looks up so that he is looking directly at her once more]

You should not say you aren't strong.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[stops folding for a bit]

...Thanks, Lelouch. I'm not saying I'm not, just not strong enough.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... I misjudged you. I apologize.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Huh? You don't need to say you're sorry.

[shut up you will like this headpat]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[well i will tolerate it at least]

... We forgot to acquire a jar. I am not sure we have anything suitable in the cabin.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Do you have a vase or anything like that? We can put them in there til we find one!

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Such an item would not be wise to keep around young cats.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

So, you don't have one?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I do not. But I believe I may have something equally effective for the interim.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[considers]

Continue to make those. I will be back.

[gets up from table and disappears into the back of the cabin, where the rooms are]

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[doo dee doo making stars, will have like one finished when he gets back~]
