IC: Too many Zeros

[Ah, early morning in the gardens. A time for simple reflection, rest from an overly complicated week, nostalgic appreciation of the flowers -- and a curious fire-duckling who has wandered into the scene to watch. And what is he watching? Why a well-sobered noodleprince walking among the rows, examining a plant from time to time, with a very distant look in his eyes.]

Am I just fooling myself?

[All but hissing this as he practically rips off his jacket and tries to put fire out.]

Shut up!

Well you ARE!

[Still trying to save coat without smashing modifier inside.]

Your idiocy and unnecessary loudness was most likely the cause of the animal's reaction!

[Stepping between them and snatching the coat from Lelouch!]

Don't worry about that for now. We need to put the fire out first!

[Ok we kinda do not want you to have the coat right now. Trying to grab it back.]

I have it under control, Suzaku.

It's still burning, though. . .!

[Gritting teeth. Think Lelouch think!]

... It will be easier to stop its spread if we work together! You concentrate on the sleeve and I will deal with the side.

. . . I understand. But we have to work quickly!

[Drawing the sleeve closer to him]

[Duckling peeks his head out of pocket. Riek ninja. Wellll seeing as we're all one big happy family here, I think Imma be hopping out now and heading for FREEDOM SWEET FREEDOM. See ya, crazy guy!]

—!!

Hey, it's a thing!

[So doesn't care right now. Almost done saving jacket.]

Pay him no attention. Perhaps he will leave on his own. Finally.

[What ho, a COMPETITION. Dashing after the duckling!]

You think you can get ahead of me THAT easily, huh? Guess again!!

[Aaaaand putting out the last flame on the sleeve.]

—Eh? Pay attention to what, Lelouch?

[Collecting back somewhat damaged jacket. :(]

Our unexpected intruder has left the area.

[Turning his head to see.]

So he has. . .

[—Wait, that pocket feels lighter.]

. . . ah! The duckling is missing too!

[Looks around for a moment.]

That boy must have scared it off.

But that means that we won't get a chance to find out what happened earlier, doesn't it?

[Looking hard at the ground.]

He may have gotten away, again. . .

[Pretending to still be searching for duckling.]

... In either case, Zero is still at the mercy of the barrier.

And you have burns that should be attended to.

[Raises his head, then gives it a slight shake.]

Yes. . . yes, that's true. . .

[Also shakes head.]

Come on. I have to obtain another coat as well. I will have to select my flower at a later time.

Are you sure? The burns really aren't very serious. . .

Perhaps not. But there are several and that in itself warrants caution.

[Gives the garden a final look-over. . . and then takes a step in the direction of the cabin.]

You won't let me hear the end of it until they're bandaged, will you?

[Laughs lightly and steps forward to lead the way.]

Unlikely.
