43 - [voice] Checking up on everyone (who's left)

[forged_anew]

Hey...

[A kind of awkward pause, like he doesn't really know what to say. He's been kind of out and about, mostly training and not interacting too much lately, after all--mostly coping, though he probably wouldn't admit to it like that]

I was just wondering how everyone was doing. Anyone up for a spar, maybe? Um- Or a supply run?

...Are you okay? Since... she left again and-- Yeah. I wanted to check...

Lelouch. Haven't talked to you in a while.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

Everyone has their moments where their head isn't on straight, don't you think?

[forged_anew]

Something like that. Been like that a lot lately, actually.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

It's been an interesting winter...

[forged_anew]

Interesting. That's one word for it.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

Originally I had thought exhausting.

[forged_anew]

Yeah. Things seem to have calmed down now. And a lot of people left.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

Yes... They have. Perhaps for the better.

[forged_anew]

Probably. At least I know with the people from my world, but...

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

But there are a few others that would have been better off here?

[forged_anew]

Some people are dead in their worlds, Lelouch. Here, they can see people they love even if it's a hard life. I'm not saying it's good, but that's what it's like for some.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

I know that. I didn't say I was disagreeing with that sentiment either.

[ Rolo... Euphy... ]

[forged_anew]

[a long pause]

...sorry.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

[ hadn't meant for that to be as harsh as it came out ]

There's no reason to apologize, Zuko.

[forged_anew]

Should've figured you knew people too. I've just-- been thinking about it a lot.

[...]

A lot of people I knew left.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

Likewise. There are a few that remain from when I originally arrived.

[forged_anew]

Same here.

And... more keep leaving, it seems.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

People won't stop coming and leaving. That's a fact we shouldn't lament for too long.
