[ that's pretty much as good as an invitation, so akira's going to hear a sharp double-knock on his door before lelouch pokes his head into the room with a lazy smile. ]
Hey. Happy New Year.
[ and! with those niceties out of the way, that means that lelouch can get to the main Ulterior Motive of this conversation. there's a pause, though, mostly lelouch giving him a very critical, appraising look, before he finally speaks. ]
... I can trust you, right? It's kind of important.
[ Akira looks up from his computer when he hears the knock, then swivels his chair around to face the door. ]
Happy New Year.
[ Obligatory sentiments. He knows they'll both give them if necessary, but one of the things he's always liked about Lelouch is that he's never needed to go beyond.
Akira offers a simple nod and motions for Lelouch to step inside. ]
Do you want to take a seat?
[ He offers the edge of his bed, across from his desk. ]
[ yeah, you know what, he'll take that invitation, sitting on the edge of the bed and tapping out a quick response to someone else before he puts his phone away for the time being.
there's a slight pause as well, mostly because lelouch looks slightly thoughtful, as if he's not quite sure how to parse his words exactly. ]
Have you had any friends who have regained powers of a sort, recently?
[ Akira will give the younger man his full attention, staying forward-facing in the chair and leaving his laptop open behind him. He crosses his arms, feet planted firmly on the ground as he waits for an explanation.
Lelouch's question is...telling. Akira's immediate assumption is that a friend or Lelouch himself has acquired something new, of which Akira has great interest in, but he'll wait for the answer to come naturally. ]
Yes. Tatsuma has gained some superhuman strength and speed.
