IC: Backdated to night of mega clusterfuck fight

[thekingsgambit]

[In one of the hospital beds, a confused ex-emperor is gradually coming to, blinking amid the poor lighting and grasping his side as he tries to sit up a little too fast. The skin around one underside of his jaw appears slightly swollen and darker than usual. Other than that, the only thing that stands out is the strained look of thought on his face as he tries to sort through the afternoon's events.]

--Lelouch.

[rises to her feet. She has a few bruises and scratches here and there, but nothing too serious]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Becomes more aware of his surroundings, putting him at an unease. But feeling the tenderness in his side, doesn't make another immediate attempt to rise.]

Kallen...

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Does, however, shoot an anxious glance her way as their location clicks in his mind.]

-- Kallen! What happened?

[The question about Suzaku's fate also lies buried in the demand, though vocalizing it is another matter.]

[rebel-by-knight.livejournal.com]

[looks away as soon as he makes eye contact with her]


I won.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Anxiety deepening but managing to keep a flat tone.]

I told you to step aside.

[rebel-by-knight.livejournal.com]

And let him hurt you more?

[pizzapathy]

[how did I find out you got your ass kicked? good question. but I'm sneaky like that, so now I'm sitting in the corner waiting for you to be not-ded. oh look, you're awake!]

Hi.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Breaking away from spazzing at Kallen to spy her too.]

C.C.? You are here, as well... ?

[pizzapathy]

Looks that way.

Are you all right?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... Nunnally and Euphie are gone.

[pizzapathy]

Gone?

How long has it been?

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

[sitting on a chair elegantly poised with her chin propped up by her hand]

Did someone steal your crown?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[And this is why I hate being injured. Now I want to just go back to sleep.]

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

[But ask yourself, do you really want to be unconscious with Azula in the room?]

I'll take that as a yes.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[... No, no I do not.]

I found a way to remove it. A princess who was prideful but not adverse to lending her assistance.

[Gritting teeth so he can at least sit against headstand]

I doubt you frequently visit the hospital, Azula.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

[smirks a little at the princess part]

No, but then everyone I know seems to stay out of trouble.

[I don't have a reason for being at the hospital (though you can pretend there's some sort of justification here if you'd like) but guess what he sees as he opens the door to what he had hoped was an empty room]

L-

[emocalypse.livejournal.com]

Lelouch!

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Yes people just waking up appreciate being screamed at, especially when they are still groggy. Still gaze is flinging in that direction.]

... Kamui?

[emocalypse.livejournal.com]

[going over to the bedside and dropping his voice to a bit below normal and…]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you! Are you all right? What… What happened?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Tentatively bringing a hand to his head, as he stares at Kamui at his side.]

I... I do not completely remember.

*b-bursting in through the door* Mr Le--

*suddenly realizing that she should be quiet* Ah...

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Blinking at]

Merry... what are you doing here... ?

[merrybout.livejournal.com]

*moving to your side :(* I... I heard you where here. Are you in pain? What happened?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

You heard... ?

[Shakes head very carefully]

It is nothing to worry about, a misjudgment on my part.
