IC: Post Nunnally update

[thekingsgambit]

[Sometime after speaking with Cornelia and checking on Nunnally, who is still in a deep sleep from the other day, Lelouch heads toward his room to retrieve the piece of paper with the notes he had once taken from Muraki's book in regards to medications to help with sleep.]

[Moves forward and grabs his collar!]

Alliance? Does she even think that way? And if you think putting her above everything else fixes anything that happened, you're wrong.

I cannot keep being selfish, Suzaku! I owe her too much.





I owe you too much.

[Shoves him away]

If that's what it is, then you wouldn't make me do this.

[Stumbles slightly on the shove and then forces his miserable look to steady enough to continue, voice low.]

Just this once, try not to make things more difficult than they are. She needs us right now.



... This doesn't change... anything. But she needs us, Suzaku. That is what matters.

[After a moment, weariness and duty overcome anger and hurt, and he slips back into default mode]

I will do what's needed, of course.

[His aspect softens as he thinks of Nunnally, clinging to him]

I'll be there.

[Forces a confident, assuring smile, although a slightly tremble is almost noticeable in the hand at his side.]

I know.

She will be all right.

[whenknightfalls.livejournal.com]

[Touches his hand briefly]

You have to believe that, for her sake.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[Gives him a more genuine, grateful smile.]

Ah, I do.

[Turns around to return to the cabin.]

I should see if she is close to waking. She will want me there.

[whenknightfalls.livejournal.com]

[Continues walking forward]

Yeah, you should. I'll be back later.

[Probably will have to look more into this ZR thing with Nunnally later too. orz. Best week ever!]
