✜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.)

[It makes her sad when you say that, but hey, she was already sad, so it's not a big change!]

I hope it does.

So do they…

[Well, he couldn’t lie about that! ^^”
It is an interesting relationship. Enemies… and yet… having a cooking contest with one of them…? ]

I am sorry if it upsets you to hear that.

Re: Video,

[deadly_legacy]

I consider you all my friends. I don't want you to be enemies with each other. And you don't seem like you should be.

It is only because we are working at cross purposes. If the situation were at all different maybe I would have chosen a different path. But, this is what I have decided on and I can’t give up on it.

Even if it means that I have to fight against those girls.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

But, at least for the time being… I can see no reason to hassle those girls or their friends from Cephiro.

[At least that’s something, right? ^^””” ]

[deadly_legacy]

Why can't you change your mind? What's so wrong with making a different choice? [Might be thinking of Lelouch and Suzaku here.]

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

My planet needs something like Cephiro’s Pillar system in order to save it from destruction.

[And there is a more personal reason as well… but he is VERY secretive about that. ]

Those girls want to protect Cephiro from outside invasion and see an end to the Pillar System I am fighting to gain control of.



[Might be not understanding the Lelouch/Suzaku thing… as this anime if one I intended to watch but haven’t yet managed to do so. ]

[deadly_legacy]

Yes... I know. [They've discussed it before. She doesn't have any better answers for him. She just wishes things were different.]

Maybe someday a happier solution can be found.



[Then not understanding is best for it is full of spoilers.]

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[I remember now that you mention it… ^^” Ah well, he would have said that again anyway. ]


You shouldn’t worry about it too much. There really is no reason for you to be concerned.

[He knows Euphie is too nice and she will worry anyway… but he feels the need to say it. ]

Umi and Fuu will be fine.

[deadly_legacy]

I want you to be fine too.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
That is a very nice thing for you to say.

[deadly_legacy]

I mean it.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I know you do. You are a very kind hearted person after all!

[A sigh. ]

But, I don’t seem to be doing a very good job of cheering you up. I am supposed to be trying to get you to smile again.

[And he illustrates the action by smiling himself. ]

[deadly_legacy]

Oh, Eagle...

I know how many things I have to be thankful for here.

[But it's strange how hard it can be to smile when everything inside feels more like crying. Still, she tries to manage one. And she isn't exactly unpracticed in this area as a princess.]

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[As one who smiles though pain of his own… he isn’t fooled into thinking he has done any good here, but Euphie’s attempt to smile is respected. ]

[deadly_legacy]

[And she's grateful for his attempt. It really does make her feel a little better.]
