It was almost aggravating having to talk about these matters when Lelouch had hoped that after last night, they might be able to return to some degree of-- but perhaps it was better this way. Keeping this distance between them had to be good for some things at least, and although he'd fallen all too easily into old habits on the bulletin board earlier, he wasn't sure he could have done the same if the exchange had been conducted in person.
Talking about this was easier, however, not to mention eminently more practical, so Lelouch forcefully discarded those thoughts and moved on. "As long as you don't appear overeager, yes. Vice-Captain Matsumoto didn't say enough during the meeting to indicate her thoughts on it, and although she expressed her and her co-leader's interest in continuing the association between the three major clubs, there was nothing to suggest that this involved actively working together." How often did the clubs even communicate? The way in which the meeting had been arranged and conducted made it plainly obvious that it wasn't a regular occurrence, which Lelouch could understand with how inconveniently the days were split up (was that one of the reasons for dividing them that way?), but with how much they stood to benefit from communicating with each other more often...
He frowned and pulled out his journal from underneath his crutches, flipping it open and uncapping his pen with a small sigh. All of the excitement with Porky had distracted him from his work on the report on the institute's monsters, not to mention the information he'd gathered about space and time travel yesterday. With only the rest of this shift and the next left to finish organizing it and presenting it-- damn that man! "I doubt you need further direction than that from me. You seem to have the situation well in hand." There was approval in his tone that didn't quite reach the annoyed stare he directed at his notes. There were so many monsters from Mello's version that he hadn't received reports on-- should he post a reminder? To do so this quickly after his "confession" seemed foolish, but...
