The corner of Suzaku's lip lifted at Lelouch's reaction. He was just so easy. Of course, Suzaku didn't want to piss him off too much, especially with all the unknowns at work between them right now. For example, the reaction Suzaku had to Lelouch's choice of protest. His nascent smile faltered.
Was Lelouch saying he didn't want to act like this with Suzaku, because he had no interest in friendship anymore? Not that Suzaku had any interest in friendship, but he could deal with a comfortable interaction, especially now when he was still off-balance and dizzy with relief. Lelouch was probably right, they shouldn't be acting like this, and they shouldn't be treating each other like friends. That didn't make the idea any less uncomfortable, for some still-incomprehensible reason. But Lelouch probably didn't mean it that way, he was probably just trying to get Suzaku to back off. That kind of comment would be uncalled-for otherwise. Even if Suzaku shouldn't care whether Lelouch felt that way or not.
Suzaku shoved the thoughts aside, because Lelouch couldn't have meant to say something so cold in response to a little joking around. "Yes, Your Highness," he answered, dropping the sheet and raising his hands to show his compliance. "So. . ." He glanced off to the side. He wasn't quite sure how to make conversation at this point, but thankfully matters of business came to the rescue. "Oh, what do you want me to do tomorrow?"
