Trowa: He's unsure what to make of Trowa, being that Trowa hits many complicated buttons with his fighting a battle he doesn't believe in but doing so because it's all he knows. Lelouch is not sure whether Trowa is a victim of a vicious society or if he's just well suited to what he does. But a soldier's skills are not something he can so easily overlook either. Overall, Lelouch is slightly reeling to find someone who can match his cynicism and even top it.

Dietrich: Dietrich is another one that perplexes Lelouch in that he seems perfectly friendly but something doesn't quite fit in the picture. He is, however, very interested in Dietrich's world. He also doesn't like how Dietrich's friendliness around Euphie stirs an awkwardness within him that he doesn't want to face. The solution is clearly more threading.
