Suzaku could tell Lelouch was trying to cover up the extent of his injuries, but he was definitely not going to comment on it. At any rate, it would not happen again; Suzaku would make sure of that. He himself remained standing, gazing at Lelouch intently as the other boy reported what he had discovered. He felt like he was at a military briefing -- which, he supposed, he was. When Lelouch was finished, Suzaku took the maps without comment and sat down at the other desk, sighing a little as he looked over the maps.
It was a lot of information, as expected of Lelouch. The time thing was interesting, if a bit startling, and fit in with the other manipulations of time going on around here. Suzaku knew next to nothing about physics, but it was pretty common knowledge that time was relative. Whatever that really meant -- Suzaku was used to hearing the phrase without much context -- it looked like Landel had found a way to take advantage of it.
The town he had heard about himself, and the information about Lelouch's Geass was worrying. He hadn't known there was a way to block it with respect to certain people, but with all the other advanced technology these people apparently had, it shouldn't come as a surprise. It definitely limited their options and made the situation much more dangerous, but they would find a way, Suzaku was sure of it. Even without the Geass, Lelouch was a genius. With Suzaku as a weapon, he would be able to defeat Landel.
But none of this was what really caught Suzaku's attention. He'd tried to tamp down his reaction to hearing about the Institute's ability to bring people back to life, tried to focus on the other information rather than all the possibilities that one thing brought to mind. If that technology could be stolen, adapted. . . he knew Lelouch was probably thinking the same thing as him, and right now all he wanted to do was pursue that avenue. But he no longer had the right to his own desires, that much was certain, and he had to focus on the mission at hand. Maybe -- maybe they could discuss that later.
"I've found out a number of things myself," he said finally, looking back up at Lelouch. "But first, do you think the way that time changes here is related to whatever they use for time travel? If it's hard to gather data about the time variations, that might not be the best way to go after that technology, but it's something to consider, I think. Also, do you have any details on how your Geass is being blocked? That's obviously important for us to figure out before we can move safely."
