I'd like that. [She reaches out for one of his fists.] Lelouch is here with me too. We have an apartment together. It's been almost two months since we came.

Lelouch is...? [No. It's as though a lot of places are like that. He offers a small smile again. It's obvious that she probably knows what happened with how she's acting. He doesn't withdraw his hand but seems to relax a little.]

He's taking good care of you, isn't he?

Very good. It's been really good having this time with him again and meeting new people. [She squeezes his hand a little] I've missed...other people though. [Even a girl who orders you to love her can be shy with her feelings sometimes.]

[He doesn't deserve her love -- not after he failed her. It might be spitting in her face a little if he said that so instead he squeezes her hand back just a little before withdrawing it. He wants to be close to her -- but he's changed. He's not as innocent as she thought or thinks he is.]

I've -- missed other people too. [Admits it shyly and a little quietly.]

[Smiles and might be blushing just a little] Mmm, come with me. This time I'll show you around. [Like the first time they met.] And you can tell me about your wings?

[Fails at hiding his own blush and then shifts a little awkwardly. His wings are -- noticeable and they move along with him. He can't blame her for asking -- but she won't like the answer. He'll follow.]

I'd like that...

Ah... it's sort of complicated. [Wants to hear about her more than himself.] This place -- curses people? I want to know what you meant by that.

Well, it means different things. A curse might happen and it affects you or it might not. Or it might do something different to you than it does to another person. One time it allowed people to see my dreams and I could walk through theirs too. [Will not be mentioning the time it made her think she loved Zero and became his secret admirer. Or about the time where she got stuck hugging Allen for an entire day.] Sometimes they're dangerous or embarrassing.

This time...I like the curse. [Smiles at him.]

[Looks a little perplexed by her explanation but where he's from it's a little stranger. He can't be too confused by it. He supposes if that's how things work here he'll have to accept it for now.]

That must be hard -- but it's good to see you're... doing well. [Considering last time he saw her she was... bleeding to death.]

I am. [It was so hard when the memories came back. Sometimes it's still hard, but she doesn't want to talk about that now.] I want to show you the zoo. It's my favorite place here. It has real dragons! And unicorns!

[Looks a little awkward even though he's following... of course she'd love a place like that. Wait. Dragons? Unicorns...? That's sort of...]

It... does?

[Smiles, because she knows how it sounds.] Trust me.

You don't need to tell me to. [That came out a little more suddenly than he meant it to. So he just goes to follow her, one wing twitching a bit, as if showing how awkward he feels.]

[She just smiles at his response.] They are beautiful you know.

[Blinks. The animals? He's sure that they are -- she wouldn't make up something like that.] I don't -- doubt it. [But he's obviously thinking how beautiful she is...]

[Why does he have to think like that? But... who can blame him? She is beautiful -- everything about her is. She's... got her flaws but she's also got her strengths.]

[Giggles a little] You're wings. What did you think I meant?

Oh... the animals. [Looks flustered suddenly, feeling very self-conscious suddenly about them and more aware that they're there. For him it's still very new -- but sometimes it's as normal as having arms and legs.]

I don't... know how I feel about them. [Honestly. They do hurt a little.]

Can I touch them?

A-ah? [Doesn't understand why she would want to -- but he won't stop her if that's what she wants.]

I... guess. Be careful though -- they do hurt a little bit. [Well if she is going to touch them it's better to let her know.]

[That stops her as she looks at him, face full of concern] They hurt you? How did you get them, Suzaku?

[Averting his eyes now.] I don't really know -- and I don't remember.

I -- was told that whoever did it... did it to make me and the others there look like the original inhabitants. I'm not sure but I think they died out.[Probably because the Malnosso treated them like labrats; that is what they are now, isn't it?]

It's only been a few days for me.

What sort of a place are you in?

It's called Luceti -- it's a very beautiful place but... it's got its own problems. We're trapped. It's a village surrounded by forests and rivers but we can't really get out once you reach a certain point -- I'm not sure how far that goes since I haven't tried to escape. [Still honestly -- as long as stuff about their world doesn't come to light he should be fine.]

When did you get taken there? How long has it been since I...would have seen you last?

[He tenses a moment. Why would she...

But he can't really blame her either.] A few weeks ago -- but I don't remember the first two.

For me it's been... about a year. [Not specific with dates. He doesn't know if he can handle her asking more in-depth questions.]

A year. That's about how long it's been for Lelouch too. I keep forgetting that he's 18 now.

[She moves closer to him, standing a little behind as she reaches out slowly to touch the wing gently, just running her fingertips.] Tell me if this hurts.
