【 ♞ 】 —  "Rolo?"

Lelouch had entered the room a little too late to catch what Rolo had been saying, but the hints of sounds that reached his ears were remorseful and somber. Perhaps the lighting of the room fitted that as well - dimly lit, with only a few muted rays of sunlight reaching in from behind a thick curtain.

"Are you all right?" he asked, walking over to Rolo. "You seem down."

"I know, I know I’ve let you down. I’ve been a fool to myself, I thought that I could live For no one else.”

"But now, through all the hurt and pain, It’s time for me to respect the ones you love Mean more than anything.”

"Stay with me. Come on, just a little longer."

"You're gonna be fine, okay? You... You'll be fine."

"No. Oh, no. No no no. This can't happen. No. You can't die."

"Shush, just concentrate on staying awake, okay? Don't sleep."

"Oh my god... Don't give up! You can't give up!"

"You can make it through this. I know you can. Y-you have to..."

"Where did they shoot you!? Where did they sh-- Oh... Oh, god... Oh please no..."

"The doctor explained everything to me... I... I can't just let you go like this. I need you."

"Oh, god. Please be alive. Please still be alive."

"There's nothing they can do. I-- I'm so sorry."

"No. They're wrong. They're wrong, okay? You're not gonna die."

"Please, fight this. You have to fight it. You have to live."

"Don't die... Don't die on me. Please..."

"Listen to my voice, okay? I need you to stay with me. I'm bringing you to the hospital."

"I wish I could tell you everything was going to be fine..."

"Come on, now. You've lived through worse than this. Just... Just live through this too."

"I'm so sorry I let this happen to you."

【 ♞  】 — "What?"

He's just received the news, delivered to him by a smiling Nunnally. She's rolled away now, going to chat with Sayoko about something, but Lelouch stays where he is and gapes after her in shock.

Schneizel... and Milly...

This is insane. Those two... together? They're from such widely different parts of his life, he can't comprehend for the life of him what the hell they're doing.

Lelouch whips out his phone and dials both of them, putting them on a conference call. He waits impatiently for the lines to connect, tapping his fingers against his leg.

And as soon as the duo picks up, he yells, "You two are married?"

【 ♞  】 — Internally, Lelouch scoffed. After all this time... now Schneizel was acting like a brother? And he couldn't forget what Clovis had told him: that Schneizel had had something to do with his mother's murder.

Fighting with his conflicting emotions, he decided to play it safe. He adopted a coolly welcoming smile, and spoke. "So, why is my esteemed brother here at Ashford Academy?"

Schneizel noticed someone walk into the doorway, and he turned to see who it was, only resulting in Schneizel’s eyes widening… Followed by a soft smile and Schneizel standing to greet Lelouch.

"So, it is true. Both my little sister, Nunnally, and little brother, Lelouch, are still alive." He smiles a bit wider. "It is truly wonderful to see you both alive and well after all of this time."

【 ♞  】 — That voice! ... he knew that voice. The deep cadence belonged to none other than his brother -- but how was Shneizel here? And why?

At the sound of Nunnally's voice, Lelouch started. What did Schneizel want with her? And he would know her on sight -- if the two of them were talking, there was no way Lelouch could avoid being detected.

He rounded the corner slowly, then stayed at the doorway. His older brother was completely capable of talking to him from there.

After another long day of dealing with the student council’s never ending festivals, and having orders given out by Milly throughout all of it, Lelouch finally arrived at the home that he and Nunnally had lived in since the Ashford family had begun helping the two of them…

After opening the front door, and entering the foyer, Lelouch heard a voice talking to Nunnally in another room.

"…In that case, your brother should be arriving soon, correct?"

【 ♞  】 — Lelouch's eyes tracked Rolo as the other boy settled down at the desk. He half-smiled, remembering how Rolo used to do that a lot -- then, he turned and his eyes hardened. Who knew how many of those memories were fake, planted by his tyrant of a father?

Battling with a vague scowl that threatened to appear on his face, Lelouch faced away from the desk and fetched a bowl of soup for himself, then sat down on the bed. After a while, he watched Rolo again as the younger went to get some soup of his own.

That reminded him of the bowl in his hands that was surely only lukewarm by now. Lelouch took a few sips of the brew, to find out that it was fairly pleasant.

"Do you need any help?" he said, a smile back on his face as Rolo looked toward him. He stood and walked over to where his brother was, setting the soup bowl down on the table.

Rolo nodded, trying to save the smile in his memories, and set the pot on one of the tables in the room. He removed two bowls from his bookbag and placed them besides, then turned back to Lelouch. “I have assignments that I need to finish tomorrow. You won’t mind if I work on it at your desk?” he asked rhetorically, already taking out some books and sitting at the desk. Ashford seemed to go by some method of Socrates, or something to that effect, but what it meant to him was that he had to prepare, sometimes more than others, because he couldn’t come up with things on the spot to contribute to class discussions as easily as other students seemed to.

After focusing for a long while on the homework, Rolo stood and ladelled some of the soup into one of the bowls and brought it to the desk. He read most of the assignment before deciding he’d had enough and looked over to Lelouch for relief from the homework.

【 ♞  】 — He had to suppress a gasp at the mention of the name. Euphie? But...

Quickly, he composed himself. Euphie was already dead; there was no way that she was the one calling. "It was a fake, then? There's no way that the Princess would be able to call, is there," Lelouch said, repeating his thoughts aloud.

"I wonder. That's your opinion, then, Sayoko?" he asked her. To be honest, he wanted to find out who had made the call.

【 ♞  】 — "Good afternoon, Sayoko," Lelouch said in greeting. He set down his school bag and then turned to face the woman with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Someone called?" he repeated. He had to admit, he was curious. There were many possibilities as to who the caller was. "Did you get their name?"

{Reitenrequiem| [Calls from the past]

"Ah, Master Lelouch." Sayoko curtsied, and then softly asked "How was school today? Was it a good day?" She asked, as she moved to stand straight, her gaze staying on him.

"Ah, someone called here today.." Sayoko said, gently.

【 ♞  】 — Lelouch sighed as he set all of his things down, relieved of the load. He was feeling a bit woozy, but it wasn't too bad. He would probably jot down some answers for his homework before it got late.

As Rolo got up to make some dinner, Lelouch changed into casual clothes and took out his homework for the day. Quickly, he went trhough it and put down some answers -- the grading scale wasn't at all harsh at Ashford, so if he did his homework, he could get by (no matter how wrong his answers were).

He turned his head at the sound of a knock; so Rolo was done. He thought he'd have a little more time to himself, so he could call Ohgi or someone, but his brother was relatively fast.

He got up, sneezed again, and opened the door. "Oh, you're done," he said, smiling down at the younger boy. "Do you want to eat in here?"

Rolo nodded as he walked in the room, soon letting himself fall in the bed. He was tired from the day and doubted he would ever be used to a student’s life, considering skipping classes tomorrow with his brother. It would be easier to go, though, than to have to catch up. The boy sat up to face his brother.

"I’m going to make the soup now, and you can heat it up when you want it. I have homework I need to finish later though." He stood and smiled to his brother before leaving the room and heading for the kitchen in the ballroom. 

Rolo returned after a while with a pot and his bookbag, with the homework he would have to complete before the next day. He knocked lightly on the door, then again louder, deciding that if Lelouch had fallen asleep, he would have to wake up so that he could eat the soup.

[xquiem]

【 ♞  】 — He tilted his head. "That is true, isn't it? But don't worry, you still have time before you need to catch up to me." It was hard to force the words out when he knew that Rolo was just an impostor, but Lelouch managed. He would have to, for now.

"You can make whatever you like, and I'll help you find a recipe if you want," Lelouch offered. He didn't have too much a preference when it came to soups, to be frank. "So what do you want to have?" They passed under several arches and arrived at the dorm door. Lelouch propped it open for Rolo, then grimaced.

"Oh. The card thing, right..." He had bad memories from the last time he'd called in sick. Milly had, for some godforsaken reason, announced it to the entire school, and he'd gotten a veritable mountain of goodies. "You can say I'm out gambling or something. They won't suspect to much of that."

He carried his own books at his side, thinking of how the garden would look for Lelouch when he would see it first. He smiled kindly to the student when he negated the offer.

"You wouldn’t be preparing anything tonight, I don’t think, and dinner would still need to be made," he reminded. "And, I need to practice cooking on my own if I should ever appear decent compared to you." Rolo showed the student a wider smile as they walked, almost to the dormitory. He considered which soups would be healthiest for his brother, but decided almost any of them would do.

"So which kind of soup would you eat? Tomato, minestrone…?" he asked. "And what should I say to people who ask about you, assuming you don’t want to be bombarded with gifts and cards?"

【 ♞  】 — "I will be. No worries there," Lelouch told him, stifling another small cough in his sleeve. Yes, you shouldn't worry. Tomorrow, I'll be far beyond your concern, Rolo. He began walking toward the door.

"A garden? Well, I'll be sure to go next time," he said. Honestly, he hadn't been paying attention during the meeting, so he had no clue what had transpired. He had been playing someone who was either a unique strategist or someone making wild moves in desperation. A garden near the center courtyard would be nice though, now that he thought about it.

"Ah -- soup?" Lelouch said, quashing his wandering thoughts and looking down at Rolo in surprise. "You don't have to make anything tonight if you don't want to." They passed a set of doors and kept walking, going under an awning.

"Oh, okay, make sure that you’re resting tomorrow though. I won’t bother you," he assured. It seemed that his brother would use this as an opportunity himself, but ofcourse wouldn’t be so proud of him if he skipped classes as well. "I’ll still bring you treats after the classes, and after the student council meeting. I think we’re working on a garden by the center courtyard, so you should skip that too."

Rolo rested his hand on Lelouch’s, wanting to walk with him to the dormitory. The sooner his brother was resting, the better. “What kind of soup would you want to have for dinner?” he asked gently, trying not to be overwhelming to his brother anymore.
