IC: Shortly after the Mistletoad debacle

[thekingsgambit]

[The silence between the cornfield and Boys 4 has just been interrupted by a loud, pathetic puppy cry. Those interested in going after the poor creature might discover the tiny black kitten that is presently clenching said puppy's paw in its mouth and puffed up to twice its normal size.]

-- I told you to put me down!




((This is actually open to whoever wishes to jump it and save the poor puppy. ;;))

Mind where you land.

[Is presently flopped on his belly.

... I'm just going to stay here and pretend that did not just happen. Ow.]

[ascendthethorns]

[... yes, this prolonged silence on your end is certainly not making things more awkward for you at all.

Or for me, so I'mma check on Kururugi.]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Gets up during your absence and mentally berates himself for the loss of control. Also, glances at Nunnally and considers previous suggestion, which he had mostly received in bits and pieces.]

[ascendthethorns]

[While you consder that, I'll start back toward the cabin.]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Oh no you don't, I have concerns! Thus, attempting to crawl in that direction. Attempting.]

[ascendthethorns]

[... crawling is actually rather concerning... catches it and makes a hasteful return.]

Were you injured?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Sits up as quickly as he can, which is not very.]

What?

[ascendthethorns]

Your movements are more laboured than I'd expected.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Tch. A useless age.

[ascendthethorns]

Where were you headed, then?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I wanted another word with you. It will cause problems to have the usual horde within the cabin at this time. We should find them alternative quarters. I will assure Nunnally it is only temporary.

[ascendthethorns]

They can be kept upstairs; one of the rooms is still free.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

If we can manage to keep them in there.

[ascendthethorns]

The doors lock. It should be no issue.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[I don't entirely trust Luca with locks.]

We will keep Luca away from the rest then. She should be manageable.

[ascendthethorns]

Very well.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Nods and tries to keep focused as a butterfly flits by.]

[ascendthethorns]

[...]

Your managability, however, remains in question.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Fur rises. Butterfly lives to fly again another day.]

I have it under control.

[ascendthethorns]

[You say that like you could have succeeded at catching it... but watches the buttefly fly away.]

As you say.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[I could have. :\ Will groom instead, with tiny pink tongue.]

I have dealt with it before.

[ascendthethorns]

And I am not arguing you, Lelouch.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

A reminder then.

[ascendthethorns]

[For a moment she looks taken aback but then she narrows her eyes and frowns and loosens her focus on Lelouch, still maintaining, through no deliberate effort, the inward quality of her reaction while attempting to subdue the throbbing presentation of a struck nerve.]

I see. Unnecessary, but nonetheless noted.
