And there Suzaku was. How convenient. Lelouch had honestly expected him to take a little bit longer with how far away his room was, but apart from meaning that he'd have to deliver the rest of his orders with Suzaku looking over his shoulder, it didn't mean much. The idea itself was somewhat uncomfortable-- Lelouch didn't know just how his knight would react to him flaunting his power when it had always been such a point of contention between them-- but he eventually cast the emotion aside. Suzaku knew full well what he was capable of and willing to do to achieve his goals. That was enough.

"You will accompany us tonight and serve as my guard and Suzaku's backup," Lelouch said next instead, his eyes on Subject D. The man was wearing regular clothing in place of the usual patient's uniform, which was somewhat confusing, but maybe he'd just gotten them from the patient possessions room or something. "Follow his orders if I am ever incapacitated and do everthing you can to make sure that both of us live through the night." That last part probably hadn't been necessary on top of everything else Lelouch had specified, but he wasn't going to take chances with either his or Suzaku's lives.

He glanced back to his knight once he'd finished, only the slightest downward curve to the edge of his mouth to suggest that he was still a little apprehensive about how Suzaku would react. On the whole, he didn't care, but... no, that didn't matter anymore. Suzaku understood his methods now and there was no need to explain himself. Why would he even want to? How perfectly idiotic.

"Shall we, then?" Lelouch asked, fetching his flashlight and pulling on his shoes. He was still slow about it all, but his limp had improved from yesterday and he didn't think he'd have any trouble going without his crutches. Probably. Besides, the recreational field wasn't that far.
