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.]

[sigh]

As if there were anything that could possibly accomplish here.

[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-

Lelouch!

[Might be clutching a sheet with one hand.]

... For the sake of everyone here and what happened before we all remembered. It is too late to reverse those relationships. Suzaku knows as well. He will not risk hurting those people. Nor will I.

Old habits die hard, especially for soldiers.

[Motions with his head for her to come closer.]

[pizzapathy]

[does so :|b]

[... 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.

[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?

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

[smirks a little at the princess part]

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

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Leans over to whisper]

Suzaku knows I remember things. Of course, he has no way of knowing what. But he knows enough. And with both Euphie and Nunnally gone, his stability is severely compromised.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

That is fortunate for them, as it was not always the case. But it does not explain why you are here now. I am not your brother.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

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

I... I do not completely remember.

[pizzapathy]

Ah, wonderful.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

If anything I think my brother frequents this hospital more now. But then I should amend that to people I know who stay on my good side. The ones who see themselves as my adversaries, they probably have enough enemies to deal with putting them here already.

Why, I'm concerned about you. Isn't it obvious?

[emocalypse.livejournal.com]

…You're hurt…

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Pulls back]

They fought. And while I know the outcome, I do not know the circumstances behind it. Suzaku would not submit lightly.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

You are rarely concerned about anything that does not influence you in some way.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Catches the hidden meaning in his tone]

Minor injuries, Kamui. They should not take long to heal. For now, they are just sensitive.

... You cannot be everywhere.

[pizzapathy]

Who, Kallen?

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

You can determine my motives in your spare time. Already I'm helping you cope with your enforced bedrest.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Ah. She came upon us...

[pizzapathy]

And she "won?"

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I cannot say that any conversation would not be viewed as a suitable alternative to wasting time in this place.

[sharpasfire.livejournal.com]

Oh Lulu, if you want to sit here alone and lick your wounds you can just say so.
