voice

[euphemia]

[ Someone is trying to call by voice. At this very moment. At this precise time. ]

[likewishes]

[ YEAH SURE IS. PANIC TIME? Because immediately his heart seizes. Catches in his throat. She's calling... Why?

Now Lelouch DOES answer. But that doesn't mean he knows what to say. So if anything Euphy can probably hear his shaky breathing. Because he is shaking. Everything is shaking. His voice. Hands. ]

[euphemia]

[ He answered. She ... doesn't expect that. Why would he answer? This was his opportunity to ignore and prove he didn't care at all. Yet this is happening. And her eyes widen when the other side is just ... silence. And breathing. Shaky. Uncertain.

She had something she wanted to say here, didn't she? What was it? It's not getting out. She ... can't speak... ]

[likewishes]

[ Well it's not like he can speak either! And of course he cares. He's always cared.

His lips move, but no sound comes out. ]

[euphemia]

[ The person who spoke first was going to care the most! 1-2-3, go. ... ... Okay. Yeah, she's not speaking, either. This was the work of another impulsive idea by yours truly. ]

...

[ But she is going to say something. ]

Lelouch.

[likewishes]

[ Impulsive, sure. Not necessarily unwanted! ...Of course if she just wants to cause him pain that's difference. However Euphy isn't like that. ]

E-euphemia.

[ That doesn't come out as steady as he'd like. ]

[euphemia]

[ Hearing her name spoken in that manner takes the confidence right out of whatever she intended to say. Wanted to say. Ask. It was a constant question that remained unexplained and kept her seeking her memories. But how can she ask now? She just wants to know why? Would it even be honest? Is any of this? ]

...

[ The connection ends. ]

Voice

[promisedtolive]

[ Set not long after talking to Euphy. ]

Lelouch, I think we need to adjust living arrangements. [ He sounds dead; toneless. ]

Voice

[likewishes]

[ Well that's disconcerting... ]

What happened?

[promisedtolive]

I spoke to Euphy.

[likewishes]

...Exactly what did you speak to her about?

[promisedtolive]

Everything.

[likewishes]

"Everything" isn't specific enough, Suzaku.

[ Might be a slight edge in his tone. WHAT DID YOU DO. ]

[promisedtolive]

[ Increasingly emotionless. ]

The Requiem. Kingsley and your father's geass. FLEIJA.

[likewishes]

All at once!?

[ The "are you an idiot" should be implied here?

[promisedtolive]

It seemed like the best course at the time.

[likewishes]

How could that possibly be the best course of action at any time?

voice

[euphemia]

[ Hey remember this? It's happening again. A voice phone call. ]

voice

[likewishes]

[ And this part, were he cautiously picks up the call but doesn't quite answer...

That's happening again too. ]

[euphemia]

[ it's easier this time. ]

I fed buttons.

[likewishes]

[ Oh she's... Actually talking. A little. ]

I thought she was putting on weight.

[ Awkward but... At least he's trying to? ]

[euphemia]

[ A little, yes. ]

Sorry.

[ For overfeeding him, maybe. Long pause. ]

Thank you.

[ For ... what she suspects wasn't Buttons doing. ]

[likewishes]

You've spoiled her since the day I got her. I don't see why that'd change now.

[ So don't apologize? It's fine? ]

And... There's really nothing you need to thank me for.

[euphemia]

[ That makes her smile a little. The spoiled part. But the last sentence makes her smile fade. Nothing to thank him for? Context. She's not sure. Maybe he didn't send the flowers? Or maybe he did. Or... ]

... good night, Lelouch.

[likewishes]

I-I just...

[ Yeah. Yeah he can't work up the courage to say it. That he just wants to put a smile back on her face. However he can. ]

...Good night, Euphy.
