[... It's her. That soft voice is very distinguishable, too familiar for Kallen to ignore. What a coincidence that she was thinking about the girl during her conversation with Minato last month. It's a selfish mindset, but she wanted to see another person that she cared about in Hogwarts. First Lelouch, and now...]
Nunnally...?
[The feed quickly shifts from audio to video, the surprised look on Kallen's face visible on-screen along with a slight shake of her shoulders. No, she needs to keep it together, if only for Nunnally's sake.]
Maybe she's not from the end. Maybe she's also from some time before and doesn't have a reason to hate him yet. Maybe she's not the Empress, and he won't have to give up being Suzaku again...]
[ Oh boy, another girl! And she's polite! And friendly! And new from the sound of things. She's definitely safe. ]
I don't know my way around very well yet, but you should probably stay out from the lake. Yesterday the giant squid suckered itself to my legs. Then it tried to lift me out of the water, so it's best to leave it alone. [ Nevermind that Nunnally has retained something of sanity and common sense and therefor probably wouldn't jump in a lake in mid-January anyway. ]
[Not a familiar voice, this one, but she sounds nice and a friendly person is a welcome thing in a strange place. Especially this strange a place, which impression is made even stronger by mention of a... a giant squid? In the lake?]
That sounds like sound advice, though, thank you. Are you also new here?
VERY. [ She doesn't sound too upset about this, however. Rather there's a note of the satisfied and exhausted - a little girl the day after an amusement park visit. Mostly. ]
But! [ and here she tries to look so much more confident and smug than she is ] I have found that freaking out is definitely not the best road to take.
[...oh. Oh she knows that voice, doesn't she? For a second Nunnally too startled to reply, well, if Lelouch is here, then, well, it makes sense. (Though how many more familiar people are here in this odd place? She's beginning to wonder.)]

It's still transmitting, clearly, but there's nothing audible.
In the meantime Nunnally is staring at the device with eyes wide, wondering if perhaps she really is dreaming. It has to be a dream. Doesn't it?]

Oh! Kallen-san, you're here as well?

Y-Yeah, it's me.
[A smile slowly appears on her face, soft and gentle that's reserved just for Nunnally.]
I never thought I'd see you again.

I've missed you, too.

[Why is she here? Why is she here now?
She can't be here, because if she's here, that means...]

I will keep that in mind. Especially since there seems to be quite a bit to be surprised by here, isn't there?

[If anything could stop the boy from pouting then this would do. A slow blink.]

It certainly has. Have you been well?

Well enough. I imagine they've all fussed over you already?
