[code geass] lelouch lamperouge

(no subject)

[Observe Lelouch, standing at the shore, ankle deep in water, gazing out at the ocean. He looks rather stupefied, with what could be a million things running through his mind, dressed in this fabulous attire. For a moment he keeps still while the waves lap at his feet. Then he straightens up, regains a bit of composure, and starts looking around. Feel free to come harass him over his dorky clothes, help him out, or whatever. Just expect him to be a bit snippy, especially with how hot it's going to be in that intricate garb.]

Yes, but--

How… how are you here?

[clenching her fists]

... T-that's what I was going to ask you!

I… appeared here on the shore not long ago. There's no suitable explanation for how or why.

Tell me, Lelouch... am I really seeing you or is this stupid heat wave getting to me?

[He approaches her.]

Come look for yourself. I certainly feel like a real person.

[Very hesitant and suspicious at first, but she slowly walks towards him; her hand stretches outwards.]

[He reaches out his own hand to meet hers.]

[That hand of his feels very warm to the touch: one major hint that he is alive and well. Clearly this means she can pull him away from the water.]

[He stumbles and nearly trips, because clumsy Lelouch is clumsy.]

S-So, as you can see. I really am here.

[Shifting her feet away so she won't fall herself, she grabs on to his shoulders.]

Yes, I can see that now! Lelouch, you...

[He straightens up, regaining his balance.]

Thank you, Kallen. I'm fine.

…Well, perhaps we could find some shade. It is rather hot.

[She immediately turns away from him and nods. Suddenly, she can feel her eyes getting slightly watery.]

Let's go over by the palm trees right now.

[He watches her with some questioning concern.]

Yes, that sounds good.

[She leads him towards some palm trees, trying her best to fight back the urge to shed tears among other things.]

[He follows dutifully, though unable to think of anything suitable to say.]

[As soon as they are right in front of the trees, she takes one more step and gets into the shade -- still not looking at him]

Lelouch... we need to talk.

[He steps into the shade behind her.]

Yes, I suppose we should.

I can't forget what happened, especially not when you-- ...

[The word "died" is at the tip of her tongue]

Everyone saw it!

[He regards her carefully.]

…What instance are you referring too?

Don't you remember? You were right there in the parade! And Zero was there, too!

[Click. By his own reckoning, he hasn't died yet, but--]

I understand. You watched me die, so to see me alive now…

[He trails off.]

-- You idiot!

…I'm sorry, Kallen. Truly.

Don't you dare think that your death is something to be taken lightly!

[She's fighting back tears now]

[And he has no idea how to handle this.]

That wasn't my--

I… I was the enemy of the world, Kallen. The demon emperor. Zero… did what had to be done.
