[After hearing that C.C. has been unable to determine Euphie's whereabouts within the past week, Lelouch finds himself on edge. It is illogical, he knows this. Even if Euphie were somehow still here, her existence is as transient as his. Yet, he can't stop wishing that she could still enjoy things here, if only for a brief while. Camp had always granted him an odd sort of retreat, not that he'd ever admitted it, a chance to appreciate things he had little time for in his other life. And while his ever-restless soul had always demanded escape from the tedium and a return to his battle, his pursuit, his wish, he still held onto those moments. Lelouch Lamperouge had been happy here. He had had everything he wanted but had been unable to understand that back then.

Now, Lelouch vi Britannia only wants to hear his half-sister's voice again, teasing him about his pets and lamenting the last days of autumn. It had been so important to get rid of her that day...

Out of options, he reaches for the communicator he received his first night back. If C.C. can't find Euphie, there are only two other people who could. And one of them was still too quick to suspect any unusual queries, especially about her. The other... It's a risky move, but he has decided that this time, Euphie is more important. His fingers push the button, no doubt intended for immediate connection .]

[Her own device rests upon the desk before her, just slightly to her left, just slightly out of reach, beeping and flashing one rotation, two, three, before she leans forward, retreives it, rises, raises it to her ear, and answers.]

What is it?
