So many things are not okay about the last few days.

So many.

I may never be dry again.

[The hair twirling might just make her blush a little.]

So... How is everything at your place? Billy and Teddy are all right, aren't they?

[team_sociopath]

[Mission accomplished, and he lets the strands drop back into place.]

We're good, yeah, just waterlogged. They've been, you know, carting people to safety. Flying. Little harder to pitch in from the ground, but I do what I can.

[deadly_legacy]

[She takes a step back when he lets it go, but she smiles at him.] The City is lucky to have all three of you.

[team_sociopath]

We do what we can.

[His modesty is not so modest. Because yeah, they're pretty badass.]</small.

[deadly_legacy]

[She looks a little amused because she can tell.] It's appreciated.

[team_sociopath]

That all you wanted?

[He grins, plaaayin' it cool.]

[deadly_legacy]

[Smiles apologetically] I suppose it wasn't much of a reason to call you over, was it?

[team_sociopath]

Nah, it's fine.

[deadly_legacy]

Well, I'm glad you came. You've never been here before, have you?

[team_sociopath]

[Shakes his head]

[deadly_legacy]

Well, then it's time for the grand tour. [She smiles sweetly and takes his arm. This is how proper tours are given after all.] This is the living room and dining room. [It's all connected and open.] Over there [Nodding] is Lelouch's chess board and our plant, Rook.

[team_sociopath]

[Tours are not the sorta thing he'd normally go for, but well, there is a lot he'd do if she took his arm like that.]

You named your plant?

[Sounds like kind of a crazy cat lady thing to do.]

[deadly_legacy]

[Upon meeting a cat she has been known to get down on all fours and meow at him.]

You don't? [She just smiles teasingly and leads him down the hall.] That's Lelouch's room and that is Suzaku's. And [pushes the door open] this is where Nunnally and I stay.

[team_sociopath]

[Euphie, why so cute.]

Who's Nunnally?

[deadly_legacy]

[She just can't help it!]

She's one of my younger sisters. [Smiles.] She was the last of us to arrive. We're actually looking to move into a house so we have more space.

Hopefully we can find something without so many stairs.

[team_sociopath]

You're all related, all of you who live here?

[deadly_legacy]

Lelouch is my brother, but Suzaku is...was my knight.

[team_sociopath]

What is he now?

[It's an oddly gentle question, because he can guess why she used the word was. What dying changes, he can't imagine; but here, what does it really have to affect? Since she's here and whole and well.]

[deadly_legacy]

Well, he went on to be one of the knights of rounds. They are the best of the knights in my world.

And he’s our friend. [That much is true whatever else happens, right?]
