001; [Voice]

[coronachs]

[A slight hesitance could be heard, before a firm voice. He was used to these communicating devices, however... This may be a trap - much like this whole escapade right now. Best be cautious.]

Come in, does anyone receive me?

[He hides his own communicator into one of the many breast pockets the dark coat had (Really, Lelouch, did you really need this many?), already able to hear feet on broken asphalt. He remained hidden quietly behind what was a rack of propane tanks, making a quick mental calculation that these would probably explode if shot at... If Lelouch told Rolo not to kill Suzaku, then this was perfect. The other boy wouldn't be able to fire first.]

[As he skidded to a stop, he slid the safety off his weapon and cocked it. Should Suzaku prove to be violent, he wouldn't stop to retaliate in defense. Suzaku wouldn't stay dead for long, anyway. With this in mind, he begins to quietly inch forward until the familiar cape and mask is visible. When he sees it, he pauses, staring.]

Lord Kururugi.

[coronachs]

[He would keep his mask on for now, but tilts his head as he notices the gun in Rolo's hands. Ha. He knew it.]

Is it necessary to hold it like that? You could of tripped and shot yourself.

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[locketdangle]

[Openly frowns, not making any move to raise it but neither does he put it away. Tilting his head, as he speaks, he carefully listens for anything that might be approaching.]

I've been trained to use a weapon longer than you have.

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[coronachs]

Considering I'm older, I doubt it.

[He hesitates, not sensing any danger from the other just yet. Perhaps he really was just doing as intended. Still, one could never be too cautious around a serial killer.]

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[locketdangle]

I wonder what else there is that you don't know about the Geass Directorate.

[Turning--but never quite leaving his back to the other--he beckons Suzaku forward and in the direction of the Latmir Apartments.]

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[coronachs]

I never cared enough to ask about that curse. It ruined whom I thought was my best friend enough as it is.

[He decides to give Rolo the benefit of the doubt, though not without hesitating a few seconds before moving away from the tank rack. So be it, then. Perhaps the other wasn't going to shoot him quite yet. He started following behind Rolo, all while keeping his eyes on the boy's hand movements. By now, it was obvious they didn't trust each other.]

How is Nunnally taking this?

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[locketdangle]

My first assassination was when I was six. That should be enough of an answer.

[His distrust is evident, after all this is the man that kills his brother. But he says nothing of it, keeping his eyes on the street as he begins hurrying towards another corner.]

She's happy to be with him. Just like...

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[coronachs]

You say it as if you're proud.

[He remains at a slower pace, narrowing his eyes at Rolo's rush.]

Great then, the whole family's happy.

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[locketdangle]

[He stops, surprised by the comment.]

Why would I be proud of something that's like breathing?

[Blinking and tilting his head, he stares at Suzaku until he realizes they're still in an area that's dangerous and begins moving forward again.]

Euphemia seems happy to see him too.

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[coronachs]

Don't you feel ashamed, then? Or do you not understand things like normal people do?

[Lets Rolo hurry off, whatever, he's keeping his pace. It's just a little suspicious to why he seemed to be moving so fast now. No "monsters" were around, as people said they were. So what was the gist? However, at the mention of Euphy, his thinking paused, body terse.]

I'm glad she's happy.

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[locketdangle]

[Again he pauses to consider this, confusion on his features. Ashamed? What does that mean? If it's the mission, it must be completed. At least this time, when he's stopped, it's in the corner of an ally.]

Ashamed?

[He says it as if it's a word of a foreign language.]

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[coronachs]

[Thankfully the mask hid the disgusted sneer. This kid was beyond messed up.]

Have you not learned anything such as morals?

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[locketdangle]

[Another word that's not in his vocabulary.]

Morals...? If they're applicable to the mission. I was told that only the mission matters. No matter what.

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[coronachs]

So your mind will always remain like a robot, won't it.

[This time, he's who passes right past Rolo and walks on, assuming the direction is forward. This idle chatter was getting pointless.]

| C o m m e n t L o g |

[locketdangle]

You're going the wrong way.

[He hisses the statement, almost growling when Suzaku suggests what he is always trying to escape.]

I am real because Brother...
