[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.]

You know, you should find some new clothes suitable for the weather. In the meantime, I'll take you to the inn.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

Yes, I will. And thank you, I think I could use a rest.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

... Don't get too used to it! Now follow me.

[This will be a long walk towards the inn.]

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

Right.

[He follows.]

If this inn costs money, Kallen, I'm afraid I don't have any at the moment.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

You think money grows on trees? If only it's that convenient. [shakes her head].

Don't worry about it, Lelouch. Everything here is practically free. Currency doesn't even exist.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

As emperor, I hardly had to worry over expenses.

But then, that shouldn't be a problem. I wonder, does that make us communists?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

[scoffs] Please, I think we draw the line at communism. We're freeloaders if anything.

Anyway, I've been staying at the inn for a really long time. It's a nice place to live compared to caves and huts.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

Yes, compared to caves and huts, most places would seem quite nice. Is this inn a normal place of lodging, or are there things about it that I should be aware of?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Nothing else aside from a bulletin board where people put their ads up.

[There is some hesitation in her voice.]

Although... there was a person who used to be in charge of the inn, and I know you're going to think I'm crazy for telling you this, but you owned it once.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

I owned it? Well, if it doesn't take in any profit, then that's hardly--

2/2

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

…Kallen, are you telling me I've been on this island once before?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

... Sometimes people leave and come back, only for them to lose their memories of this place. So yes, you were here before.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

That's difficult to believe, but…

No more so than anything else. Can I ask how long you've been here?

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

For around three years. Time runs very differently in this island.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

So I've heard. I guess that means you must feel quite a bit older than me, now.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

About two years older. Guess that means I can boss you around.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

Think so? You won't know until you try.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Might as well since we're at the inn... Ahem.. [clears her throat]

Get your ass over here right now!

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

…You could try to be more polite about it.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

... Will you come over to this spot next to me, please?

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[He steps over at a fairly slow pace to join her.]

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

That wasn't so bad now, was it? [She opens the door to the inn.]

Now before I show you some empty rooms, let me take you to the front desk first.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

Very well. I hope you don't mind playing tour guide.

[rebeleleven.livejournal.com]

Don't get too comfortable. [She glances around and points at random.]

This is the where the innkeeper usually keeps tabs at who lives in which room, but since we don't have one anymore, we pretty much take of this inn ourselves. Oh yeah, and the dining room is that way, the lobby is here, the storage room is this way, and the rooms are around that area.

[upon-a-geass.livejournal.com]

[He follows her pointing, taking it in.]

Is anyone expecting me to take over the innkeeper duty again?
