IC: Death plot

[thekingsgambit]

[After this fun discovery in the cornfields.

Having further stained his clothes while arranging to Suzaku's quarters in the hospital, Lelouch has since picked up a cleaner set and gone through the effort of maintaining a more presentable appearance. He wastes no time in retrieving the Shinkirou's key from the secluded area where he stores it and some other sensitive data, as well as his notes from the last several days. Securing the item, he quietly slips into Nunnally's room. She remains sleeping soundly, unaware of what events have transpired over the course of this day. His throat grows raw and he swallows once before closing the door again and walking out of the cabin.]

Kururugi hasn't been lost. He will return. As for Nunnally, she's too intuitive to not realize that something is wrong. It would be unkind to spare her from the truth.

[Another minute or two passes by in silence before he takes another slow breath and then straightens his stance, carefully pulling away from her arms and looking in the direction of the cabin.]

... Ah.

[ascendthethorns]

[Easily releases him, then follows his gaze.]

She'll be asleep for a while still. Take the opportunity to get some rest yourself.

[Does not look like he is going to get much sleep but nods anyway and starts making his own way.]

I'll... talk to her in the morning.

[ascendthethorns]

[Knows that, but nods and follows.]

Very well. If you'd like assistance in telling her, please do not hesitate to ask.

[Doesn't look back as they approach the cabin.]

... It is my responsibility... but thank you.

[ascendthethorns]

Mm.

[When they're inside, she makes immediate way to the common room regardless of where Lelouch heads; she'll stay there until morning. In the afternoon, perhaps when she catches Lelouch attempting to leave, or maybe as a preemptive measure before he can even try, she will inform him that he is to consider himself on house arrest until resurrection and sanity have been restored. Her conditions will be as follows:

• No leaving the cabin alone.
  
• No leaving the cabin at all between the hours of 9PM and 8AM.
  
• No straying from camp proper. The hangars and ZAFT base are also off-bounds.
  
• Trips outside the cabin shouldn't last longer than thirty minutes unless Cornelia is present.
  
• Visitors are permitted.

Enjoy, lil bro.]
