[after this...]

[Between the freezing wind and the group of zombies he'd had to flee from, Hanekoma arrived at the Latimir apartments in an even fouler mood than he'd been in when Minamimoto had hit him with the exploding penguin. He couldn't feel his toes. He could, unfortunately, feel his face.]

[He took a deep breath and let himself into the building. No point in brooding. It had been a good shot. And as revenge for putting Sho's clothing up for sale, well, it was about as subtle as he could have expected. Less annoying than the broken leg he'd had a few months back....]

[Trying to convince himself that the irritation wasn't worth the effort, he stalked up the stairs. Of course, it wasn't worth it. It was just that he hadn't seen it coming. And he was not used to that. Least of all from an ex-Reaper with an exploding penguin.]

[Well. No helping it. If he was lucky, he'd get back to his apartment to clean up and assess the damage without running into anyone on the way....]

[ looks at Sanae with an unamused face. then back to Suzaku. still not amused. ]

Not to mention he's kept me in this building for about two weeks straight.

[Hanekoma, on the other hand, was distinctly amused.]

Well, ya oughta be takin' it easy while you're recoverin', Catnip.

[He grinned, ruffling the unburnt back of his hair with a hand.]

And I oughta be cleanin' myself up too.

[ "Catnip"? doesn't laugh, but his lips twitch a little, maybe. ]

Which apartment are you in? [ and why are you missing eyebrows? ]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

[ don't think he hadn't caught that, Suzaku. he had! and oh Sanae... Lulu is going to sooo be asking Joshua. though he is amused that Suzaku asks about where he is staying. Lelouch is curious too. ]

Perhaps it is for the best. We could catch up later since you do owe me another game.

I'll have ta make another set of cards first. [He shrugged, amused.] And I'm in 412 - just down the hall from Josh.

[geassreceived.livejournal.com]

[ wonders why cards and not chess; oh well ]

It was nice to meet you. [ slight smile ] Let us know if you'd like a coat of paint in your apartment.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

[ staaaaares at Suzaku about the paint comment. three... two... one... snickering. oh yes. he finds this most amusing. ]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

[Games with an element of chance were far more entertaining. Chess? That wasn't a gamble at all.]

[Besides, if it came to things like that, he preferred shogi.]

Ha! Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass - where'd ya pick up the house paint? I might do a bit of decoratin' myself.

[geassreceived.livejournal.com]

One of our roommates found some. He and I have been working on our apartment.

[ inclines his head again and starts to pass Lelouch to go into the apartment. ]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

[ he is amused still. anyone can see it in his eyes. ]

Decorating like a mural? I still have what you made me, Sanae.

[ but now Suzaku is going. the only reason Lelouch is also turning to leave is because... well... he'd rather go now than to have Suzaku track him down later. lesser of two evils. ]

I know it's a little odd, but I'm still glad to see you back.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

What can I say? Color improves the place.

[Chuckling, he pushed himself away from the wall and headed once more for the stairs.]

Good ta see you again, too. And nice meetin' ya, Suzaku.
