[She's been wanting—well, needing—to do this since she awoke yesterday. Even though it was a curse and everyone is fine now as Lelouch says everyone still deserves an apology.

They deserve more.

But she isn't sure what else she has to offer. She started writing one a few times before deciding it needed to be in her own voice. She couldn't be so cowardly as to hide in a letter. She just needed another few minutes to make sure she could start without falling apart in the process.]

Hello. [Long pause.] I would like to apologize to everyone I spoke to yesterday and everyone who saw my awful, shocking post. I am especially sorry to Ken and Syaoran who I... [So much for keeping her voice together. The curse. Dean. Suzaku. It was a very, very emotional few days for her, but she was a princess. She needed to continue, so she did.] hurt. And of course to all of the Japanese for my hurtful words.

I am so very, very sorry.

Umi, Mara, Flynn, Yuri, Lelouch...thank you all so much for stopping me and for helping Ken and Syaoran. I am forever in your debt.

[Pause] Cain, I would like to take some time off of work.

(OOC: Action open to Lelouch and anyone storming the castle. I mean...visiting the apartment.)

I'm glad we got there in time.

You know, I've... seen this happen before, to other people. You really can't help these curses.

So am I...

I suppose not. [But it didn't feel like just a curse to her since it was also so much memory too.]

Try to keep that in mind. Maybe it won't help much, but...

Are you okay with visits today?

...I may not be very good company. But I won't turn people away.

It's fine. I don't think I'll be really great company either. So maybe we can just suck at it together.

[Actually has to smile just a little at that.] I think I can do that then.

Alright. Where are you staying? I don't think I've ever visited your place before.

I share an apartment with [as far as she knows just] Lelouch. [And here are directions!]

Your brother, right? [Back then there wasn't much time for introductions, but she will amend that now.] Fine, I'll be there in a few.

Yes, that's right.

I'll be here. [Hasn't left.]

[She'll arrive after an hour or so with something homemade and freshly baked to have for tea.

And we can handwave or action, whatever you prefer.]

[Since she made the arrangements Euphie answers the door this time while Lelouch is in his room.] Hello, Umi. Oh, you didn't have to bring anything.

Hey, I don't usually show up at people's apartments empty-handed! It's no problem. Here.

[She smiles -- a little nervously, since this is the first time she sees Euphie since she... well, wasn't herself -- and hands the other girl a simply cinnamon apple pie.]

Besides I tend to bake when I'm nervous.

[She accepts the dish.] Thank you. That was sweet. Lelouch will be glad not to be doing all the cooking. [And that someone else is making her eat.] But why are you nervous?

[She steps further back into the apartment to lead the other girl to the kitchen.]

Anytime. [Umi follows her inside, glancing around the place absently. It's good that Euphie has family to take care of her here. She wonders if she'll get the chance to meet this brother of hers under better circumstances.]

You know how sometimes you feel as if things were sort of... hitting you all at once? I think I'm having one of those weeks.

Yes. I know exactly how that feels. [Because she is having one of those weeks too.] I'm sorry you're feeling that way.

It's nothing I haven't seen before, really. Not after a year stuck in this place. But... still.

[This isn't entirely true. This one's a stream of bad luck such as Umi has rarely known. But she doesn't want to burden Euphie with her problems. The other girl has enough on her shoulders as it is.]

I hope things start looking up for both of us.

I'm sorry, Umi. I do too.

[She looks at the offering the other girl brought and then back up to her.] Would you like some pie?

Aw, I-! Don't really like sweets. I.. mostly baked that with you in mind.

[Awkward, but while Umi believes that it'll do Euphie some good to have something sweet (comfort food, that they call it) she never really considered herself.

In fact, she's been eating next to nothing since Clef was attacked and things started going downhill.] I'll just have some tea! Want me to make some?

You don't like sweets? [Euphie is fond of them.] Oh, no, I can make it. That's something I'm good at.

Not really! I just can't swallow them.

And alright. [She laughs a little, still kind of weakly.] I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting me in their kitchen!

Um. I sent the flowers. No name tag, just like you wanted it to be.

It isn't that. You're the guest.

[Quiet and thoughtful a moment, glad they got them.] Thank you. Oh! How much was it? [She will get the money.]

Um! Are you sure you want to? I mean, I wouldn't mind-!

[But wait. They had this conversation before. This actually means a lot to Euphie, right? To pay for the flowers herself.]

Er. Two greens will do. Have they... talked to you?

Thank you. [She'll just get the tea going before she goes to get those.] I talked to Ken a few times already and Syaoran just a little earlier.
