[euphemia]

[ Heyyyyy Suzkau. Someone is calling you right at this very time. Which is pretty late. But this is fine since nightmares, so. ]

[ Sleeping through the night is a rarity now anyhow, so he jumps at his device immediately when he sees who it is. ]

E, Euphy...?

[euphemia]

[ Unlike Lelouch, Suzaku didn't do anything to directly hurt her. At least not physically. That was a step u[, right? Not really. So it was easier to call, even if she floundered a little and found herself uncertain of what to say if he decided to answer the call. ]

...Uhm.

[promisedtolive]

[ Quickly, urgently: ]

Are you safe? You left so quickly I-- [ Sounds so pained. ]

I'm so sorry for burdening you with so much. [ Lelouch refrains from contact to punish himself; he courts reprimand with apology to do the same. ]

[euphemia]

[ He's so worried?? This is a tiny bit startling and, immediately, she tries to fix it! ]

—you're not a burden! [ Never a burden. Just unsure? Confused? Sad? ]

I ... just wanted to check in on you.

[promisedtolive]

... thank you for thinking of me. [ Softly, slightly watery. ]

Your sister said you were staying with her?

[euphemia]

[ this is a hard conversation to maintain considering her state. in fact, it takes a full minute before she can respond. ]

Yes. Yes, we're ... staying in Yun'Ashia.

[promisedtolive]

Yun'Ashia? I read they raise chocobos there. [ He would love to tell her all about the white chocobo he met, but the timing is inappropriate. ]

[euphemia]

[ That makes her smile just a little at the other end but it fades whens he remembers ... everything else. ]

Please take care of Lelouch. Since I'm not there. [ A pause. ] And yourself! Take care of yourself, Suzaku!

[ Words she rushes to say so quickly that before he could even get a word in edgewise, their connection ends. ]
