[Euphie turns on the video, revealing herself standing outside near the apartments with a bag over her head. She giggles a little, which contrasts with the sad face carved into the bag itself. She's just following out a dare Hikaru had given her.]

Hi, everyone, I just wanted to clarify that I was under the curse to be a secret admirer a couple of days ago. I'm very sorry for any confusion or embarrassment that I might have caused. Zero, you were incredibly nice about it. Thank you so much, and I hope you didn't actually eat any of those horrible muffins. I don't know how I convinced myself they were a good idea!

Oh, and this is Euphemia for anyone who doesn't recognize me like this. [Giggles again.]

It wasn't you, Lady Euphemia!

[ he raises his voice there. ]

It wasn't you.

[ He repeats in a softer tone when he realizes his error. ]

[She brushes away some of the tears, trying to get herself under control.] I'm sorry, Flynn.

[ Flynn shakes his head again. ]

No, please don't apologize.

I don't know the details of everything that transpired in your world. But please, Lady Euphemia, know that I have faith in you.

[ And then he smiles. ]

Please don't cry. You weren't in control of yourself.

[ He says the final sentence softly, knowing he never once let Yuri fall back against an excuse like that. Was it wrong to now tell someone who could have been under a circumstance very much like Yuri's the opposite?

As Flynn gazes at Euphemia, he finds the answer to be simply... no. Just as he would never let Lady Estellise bear that burden, he could never let Lady Euphemia take that burden up herself. Yuri and him were different, they wanted to change the world, and to do that, they had to hold themselves up in a much higher standard... to change the world, they chose to be different. But Lady Euphemia... wasn't like that. ]

[She reaches out to clasp his hand in hers. It felt strong and it brought her some comfort.] I shouldn't be crying. I've cried so much already... I know I need to help people with my second chance and I can't do that if I am like this.

That's right.

[ Have a nice Flynn smile : n_n ]

But Lady Euphemia, if you ever need someone to to listen... please don't hesitate to come to me.

[ and then he adds, ]

I'm glad that you were given a second chance, as well. It's an honor knowing you.

[She even manages to smile a little for that.] I feel the same way knowing you, Flynn. I'm very glad we met.

[ nods ]

You look better when you smile.

[And now there is blushing] Thank you.

[ Flynn stands up then and extends a hand at Lady Euphemia. ]

To cheer you up, may I now offer you a chance to study cooking with me, Lady Euphemia?

[ n_n ]

[Smiles warmly and takes his hand, standing up.] I'd like that, Flynn.

What would you like to make?

[ and then he pauses and thinks; ]

I guess we'd need a cookbook too, if it's something I don't know...

[ n_n Euphie, opt for a cookbook, n_n ]

Some kind of pudding? [That's one of Lelouch's favorites.]

Yes, there is a cookbook! [She retrieves it from the drawer.]

Understood.

[ He pauses and then... hmm. Ding ding. Flynn now has an idea. ]

Let's see if the cookbook has something for us.

[She sets it on the table and opens it up, not quite sure what Flynn is looking for. She glances up at him, gratefully for doing all this for her.] You're a good friend.

Thank you. [ Blushes- ah... ]

I'm only doing what I can though. It's not much... [ and he thumbs through those pages 8D ]

It's a lot I think. [Smiles fondly at him and then looks back to the book]

So, what sort of recipe do you think we should use?

I'm glad.

[ And looks more seriously at the book now... egg pudding... Bbread pudding... rice pudding... ]

Ah- [ he finds one with a very attractive illustration. ] Strawberry pudding?

That sounds good! Let's make that. [Seems cheerful again. You can barely see the tear stains.] How do we start?

We gather the ingredients and tools required for this recipe first, of course.

[ He looks around the kitchen- ]

This may require us to shop around first.

[Reads through the ingredients.] We should have some of this at least, but Lelouch really does all the shopping and cooking. I don't think I remember strawberries.

Sir Lelouch sounds like a housewife- [ and then he catches himself, and shakes his head... n_n ]

No offense meant, of course.

[ and then he takes the recipe book into his hands. ]

We can go shopping ourselves. It'll be fun. I can teach you how to find the best ingredients for a decent price.

[Giggles] He is a little more domestic than I am. He's very talented.

All right. I'm ready if you are.

I wonder what he'd say to that...

[ laughs. ]

And I'm ready, Lady Euphemia. Let's go. [ Flynn takes the recipe book with him, of course. ♥ ]

I don't think he could disagree.

[Smiles]

All right. [She walks along at his side, stopping to lock the door on their way out. And then taking his arm once that is done.]

That doesn't mean he'd like it.

[ smiles back. n_n

The gesture doesn't surprise Flynn much, honestly. He's used to it with Estellise and... well, knightly duties and all! ]
