Nunnally smiled at the mention of Sam's brother and his affinity for getting into trouble, but it wasn't quite as cheerful as before. She doubted that the unnamed brother's level of "trouble" was quite the same as what her older brother had done, but -- even if she'd started to become accustomed to Lelouch's presence here, the memories were still far too recent to easily forget. So many things could remind her of that, startle her out of the calm almost-acceptance into which she'd fallen simply because she had been so glad to see him again.
If she wasn't careful, though, he might notice that something had distressed her, so she calmly directed the subject somewhere else. "You've been here for a while, then?" Nunnally asked, allowing the new topic to excuse her small frown. "You were here in town last week? I've been told that people were stranded in town, come nightfall."
