Date & Time: Today, pretty much throughout the entire day
Location: All around the city
Characters: Suzaku and anyone he runs across!
Summary: His princess is in another castle :(
Warnings: Nope

[ There was a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach when he stopped by Princess Euphemia's apartment this morning only to find that she wasn't there. There was no reason for Euphemia to spend every waking second with Suzaku, however, especially when he had a bad tendency to run off on every available mission that the Initiative cooked up. At the same time while there were no missions going on Suzaku preferred to spend his time beside the princess and making sure she was safe.

It hasn't taken him long before he started searching the city for her. The longer the day drags on, the worse the gnawing worrying feeling in the pit of his stomach become and the more desperate he starts to feel.

He's soaking wet as he darts around the streets looking for any flash of pink he can get, and every now and then stopping to talk to people-- ]

Excuse me, have you seen a girl about my age with long pink hair pass through here?

I trust her.

[ Nunnally reaffirms this as if it needs to be said. Before it was easy for her to give her trust easily to anyone; that was before she can see with her own eyes to judge the situation around her. Now that she can stare into their eyes and hear the inflections in their voice, is that not enough to be a good judge of character? ]

She'll help if we ask, so its imperative that I do. The more who promise to assist, the better.

[ In a way it is important that she reaffirms it. Nunnally may trust her, but Suzaku doesn't. He's not happy with the idea of a temperamental stranger coming into contact with Euphemia. He's already not overwhelmed with the idea that Nunnally has become close to her either, and can't imagine Lelouch is happy about this

Nemo might be behaving herself for now, but everything about that girl sets Suzaku on edge. ]

I don't think that's necessary. If you're watching the shop I can cover a lot of ground on my own.

[ As is the natural order of things. Wasn't it her brother's plan to have a more appropriate knight for her? Not that Nunnally cares to comment on that, but for now Nemo is much better than the last one in her care. ]

Very well. I can stay there and you can contact me with the tablet if you locate her? I can do the same for you--once I've spoken with her to find out why she's slipping out of your sights, that is.

[ She is her sister and a dear childhood friend. If Euphemia was avoiding him in any way, she'd have to ask why first. ]

[ Suzaku looks taken aback by that comment. The idea that Euphie could have been avoiding him for any reason never even occurred to him. Nothing had happened between the two of them that would have given her any reason to want to run from him... as far as he knows anyway. ]

It could just be a coincidence. The city has been relatively safe lately and she might have wanted to check things out on her own...

[ Though now he is wondering if there was something he did wrong... ]
