Suzaku.

[Well, that's definitely an irate as heck emperor still recovering from his stint as a mercury-dripping Mad Hatter.]

We need to talk.

Now.

[This would've probably worked better as a locked entry? But he was too annoyed to even lock it so,yeah.

Have fun, guys.]

That was an order.

[Which means that he's expecting a "Yes".]

[action]

[swordofzero]

[Something in Suzaku broke, because he had been beating himself up all month about what he had done, and Lelouch thought he could prevent it in future with an order? Like Suzaku had chosen to betray Nunnally and had to be told it was not right.

He stepped forward his face twisting in order.] And what happens when it conflicts the other order you gave me? You seem fine with throwing orders around yet not so happy when they blowup in your face.

[action]

[doublechecks]

A miscalculation on my part, I suppose. Though I should have expected that the order will have you do even the most depraved thing to survive, even if it means killing off the people that were once precious to you.

[Yes, Suzaku.

He didn't expect that.

No, actually he did expect that, but he was just too much of an ass to be straight with it.]

[action]

[swordofzero]

Nunnally is still precious to me. [Yeah he hadn't been expecting Lelouch to accept that; Lelouch admitting mistakes is rare.] You should know that I never mean to hurt her...

[action]

[doublechecks]

Which is why I've called you here for another reason.

[...wait what.]

[action]

[swordofzero]

[Wait what... Suzaku blinked at him.] What reason?

[action]

[doublechecks]

Nunnally's birthday party.

[Beat.]

And Rolo's, I guess.

[action]

[swordofzero]

Oh... [He had forgotten in all the awfulness that had happened that it had been their birthday. He was surprised that Lelouch was including Rolo into the celebrations though he would have insisted if he hadn't.] When are we going to have it?

[action]

[doublechecks]

...To be honest, as soon as possible would be a good option, though I suppose that means I'd have to prepare a cake with whatever ingredient we have this month.

[Which is not that bad, as he figured he can use all those normal ingredients to bake some normal-tasting cake.]

Re: [action]

[swordofzero]

Better this month than one where we only have nutrient bars, or no food at all.

[Hard to bake a cake in an empty kitchen.]

[action]

[doublechecks]

[Well, he can make them out of nutrient bars, but it'd be a hideous one.]

...Then I suppose we should start preparing for it.

[action]

[swordofzero]

Yes, shall we go now? [This will be the most awkward cake baking.]

[action]

[doublechecks]

I suppose we shall.

[really awkward indeed]
