✜034 [voice]

[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.)

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.]

[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. ]

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