✜034 [voice]

[deadly_legacy]

[The audio starts broadcasting the gentle sounds of the outdoors long before she speaks. Her voice is a little raw. She's been crying, but she's trying not to let it sound.]

Hello.

[Another long pause.]

I'm sorry I'm not contacting everyone individually. I'm not sure who they know well. ...Knew.

[There's another pause, but this time when she returns her voice is a little shakier. All the practice and control in the world can't take the pain out of these words.]

My brother, Lelouch, and sister, Nunnally, have left the City.

[It sounds like she might say more, but after a moment the audio shuts off.]


(OOC: Forward dated to late morning. Euphie is in Xanadu curled up behind a tree if anyone wants to action at her.)

I'm sure you do.

[ he doesn't know what else to say. he can't assure her that it's going to be all right, and they would be safe back home.. because it isn't true. ]

[deadly_legacy]

I..

[ his voice cracks slightly. only slightly. ]

You shouldn't.

[That...surprises her a little.] Why not?

Aren't you hurting enough?

action

[deadly_legacy]

...You think you'll hurt me?

action

[unknights.livejournal.com]

I don't want to.. But you know what will happen to Lelouch when he returns home and I can't promise you otherwise.

[deadly_legacy]

[Softly] I know.

[She feels tears building again as she thinks about it.] ...But that was his choice too.

[ he wants to move closer - and he does - but he isn't sure how close he should get. ]

It was for the best. He wouldn't have decided on that if it wasn't.

action

[deadly_legacy]

No... [Shakes her head. But not about Suzaku coming closer. Softly. She knows he probably wants to believe that as much as she doesn't want to believe it.]

You'll get to see him again..

action

[deadly_legacy]

Suzaku... [She shifts a little. He might have already noticed she is wearing Lelouch's coat instead of the one Flynn got for her when she arrived, but now he'd also be able to see the scarf he made for her.]

action

[unknights.livejournal.com]

[ he offers her a small, sad smile, and notices the scarf with the coat. something twists uncomfortably in his chest. ]

action

[deadly_legacy]

[She's the one who crosses the distance, moving closer to him.]
