... Rolo-kun. Royal-kun is your real brother. Not me.

Re: [A BIT LATER]

But... my feelings are...

[l-looks between them again] I'm not intending to hurt you, Royal...

[almost snarling]

Do not call me that.

[extracts himself from Rolo's arm, placing his hands on Rolo's shoulders for distance as well as focus]

Rolo-kun ... think back on some of his memories. Who's there as his brother?

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[looks up at Sunny, then over at Royal]

... Even if you say that...

But I can pretend until it's over... if that would help?

[voice very tight and controlled, just barely looking back at them]

"Until it's over?"

If she said it's temporary, did she say how long?

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[brother_con.insanejournal.com]

She didn't, but she didn't imply it would be extended... She reassured me quite a bit.

It's -- just -- she needs to take payment. So -- I mean... isn't it...? [puts a hand to his own chest] I mean, I just... [looks up at Sunny again, tries to take his hand]

[ffff turns to look at Lulu, turning away from Rolo at the same time]

[grabs at Sunny's hand, but lets it drop]

...I just wanted to actually be able to have a future, with both of you... not just words... I just...

. . . Rolo . . .

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[hidebehindthe.insanejournal.com]

... What does Rolo-kun mean?

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

. . . when Rolo uses his Geass, his heart stops. That's—what he gambled to fix.

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[hidebehindthe.insanejournal.com]

Stops?

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[brother_con.insanejournal.com]

...Mmm. So I'd usually stop after a few seconds because otherwise I'd die. But... it's an inevitability... it was an inevitability. It's how I died already. And eventually I'd use it too much. Or it would permanently activate. But... If it was bad... I can ask her to trade back...

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[hidebehindthe.insanejournal.com]

... Now think, Rolo-kun. If I was his brother, how could I have not known that?

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[brother_con.insanejournal.com]

...even if you say that...

[looks up at him plaintively]

Even if I think that, my feelings are -- look, I love you, and--

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

[cutting in, voice a bit sharp, fists clenched by his sides]

Sunny, don't push it, you'll only bother him.

. . . Rolo, as long as this is in fact temporary, it was your choice, and the benefit is much—much more important in the long run.

[... :x]

[looks between the two of them again, uneasily, and hugs his hands to his chest, hunching a little]

I believe her... she told me three times she wouldn't do any harm, and twice that it was temporary, and she told me she had faith in me... so...

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[zeromemories.insanejournal.com]

. . . then we'll let it go to see if it is indeed temporary. And if not—

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[hidebehindthe.insanejournal.com]

Then we'll have to talk to Lacerta.

Re: [A BIT LATER]

[brother_con.insanejournal.com]

...What will you two do with me in the meantime...?
