[after this...]

[Between the freezing wind and the group of zombies he'd had to flee from, Hanekoma arrived at the Latimir apartments in an even fouler mood than he'd been in when Minamimoto had hit him with the exploding penguin. He couldn't feel his toes. He could, unfortunately, feel his face.]

[He took a deep breath and let himself into the

Comments

shhh, you saw nothing

[geassreceived]

[ lets himself into the apartment building, dirt on his face and dust in his hair, but in a pretty good mood, all around. until he sees Lelouch up and around. and in the hall. ]

Lelouch, what are you doing u-- [ distracted by kitten! hi Anna! hee. what are you doing outside? scoops her up and scritches her head; looks back toward Lelouch with a "you should be resting look"

... and then notices the other person. oh. straightens, a little more formal. ] Sorry, I didn't see you were busy. [ another glance at Lelouch, eyebrow raised ]

<3333

[eyesofgeass]

[ is going to tell you off, Sanae. just you wait. the mere presence of Suzaku cuts Lelouch short though. he makes a slight face at the knight before looking away. ]

I'm not an invalid, Suzaku...

[ now back to Sanae. looks exasperated, really. ]

Sanae, this is the idiot jock. Idiot jock, this would be Sanae Hanekoma. I don't think you two ever met.

[greatcuppajoe]

[Aww. Friendship. Wasn't it cute. Grinning, Hanekoma tilted his head in a sketch of a bow at the kid.]

Nice ta meet ya. Any preferred nicknames for "idiot jock," boss?

[geassreceived]

[ inclines his head in return ]

Just Suzaku is fine, really. [ shakes his head at Lelouch a bit; he'll talk to you later ] This is Anna. [ holds her up a little ]

[eyesofgeass]

[ shoots a rather indignant look at Suzaku. why? there's nothing to talk about. now he's rubbing at the bridge of his nose. ]

[greatcuppajoe]

[Hanekoma chuckled, reaching out to ruffle the cat's fur again.]

Yeah, your friend here introduced us. Where'd you get her, or did she tag along from your home world?

[geassreceived]

[ looks down fondly at Anna's head and resolutely doesn't look at Lelouch ]

She was a Christmas gift. [ pets her tiny head ]

[eyesofgeass]

[ and pointedly isn't paying either of them much mind. for now. ]

[greatcuppajoe]

[Hanekoma couldn't help the bark of laughter -- well, he could have helped it, but what would be the point?]

I can be on my way if you guys have something to talk about, ya know.

[geassreceived]

[ blinks at the laughing, and Anna quickly crawls up his shoulder at the loud noise -- ow, kittyclaws ]

No, I'm sorry. I intruded. I should go get cleaned up, anyway. [ he says as Anna sneezes ]

[eyesofgeass]

[ looks at Sanae with an unamused face. then back to Suzaku. still not amused. ]

Not to mention he's kept me in this building for about two weeks straight.

[greatcuppajoe]

[Hanekoma, on the other hand, was distinctly amused.]

Well, ya oughta be takin' it easy while you're recoverin', Catnip.

[He grinned, ruffling the unburnt back of his hair with a hand.]

And I oughta be cleanin' myself up too.

[geassreceived]

[ "Catnip"? doesn't laugh, but his lips twitch a little, maybe. ]

Which apartment are you in? [ and why are you missing eyebrows? ]

[eyesofgeass]

[ don't think he hadn't caught that, Suzaku. he had! and oh Sanae... Lulu is going to sooo be asking Joshua. though he is amused that Suzaku asks about where he is staying. Lelouch is curious too. ]

Perhaps it is for the best. We could catch up later since you do owe me another game.

[greatcuppajoe]

I'll have ta make another set of cards first. [He shrugged, amused.] And I'm in 412 - just down the hall from Josh.

[geassreceived]

[ wonders why cards and not chess; oh well ]

It was nice to meet you. [ slight smile ] Let us know if you'd like a coat of paint in your apartment.
