[ The feed flickers on to show a young girl wearing a long, eloquent gown seated in what appears to be the front yard of the home she was assigned. By appearances alone, one can assume quite a bit about who or what she might have been in her homeworld. There is a bit of murmuring off camera by the likes of her Mog who appears to be guiding her with using the device. ]

—starting. Ah! Wonderful! And there we are. Now you are connected, my lady. Please, go right ahead.

[ Euphemia smiled off camera to the Moogle and mumbled a quiet thank you, then turned her attention back to the screen. ]

Hello everyone! I, ah ... I just wanted to introduce myself properly since I believe most of us are in a similar predicament. It's been a very ... a very strange day, [ and her expression twists a little because that word doesn't even seem right. It will do for now. ] but I like to hope that I can end it on a reasonably good note.

I hope everyone has settled in well or going to. I intend to do so myself. I wanted to thank everyone that I had the opportunity to meet today. Your company, whether brief or not, was welcomed and one I will hold dear. I hope we can meet again soon while we are here.

As for the rest, perhaps we might get acquainted using this, ah... this—what is it called again? [ She turns to look off camera to where her Moogle is apparently floating ]

An iMog, my lady.

Oh! Yes. iMog slate! [ She smiles. ]

It's a pleasure to meet all of you! I'm Euphemia. But please, call me Euphy.

Regardless of the... Conversation we do need something so we can eat. I don't know about you, but I don't really want to put that off.

[ He still doesn't know how she can take this as gracefully as she does. At the time, Lelouch had fallen apart. Completely.

But sacrifices do have to be made. He had made a mistake. She had paid the price. One day she is going to find this out. But maybe not today. Then she'll probably hate him. So he needs to teach her these things now. ]

If you want to go back, I can do it alone.

[ Though he will giver an escape. If she wants to take it. ]

[euphemia]

[ She can return to the house. That option is given freely. It was a tempting offer. To hide in the house given to them and sort out her wild feelings. Get it out of her system so she can accept this and move forward. But that means... leaving Lelouch. ]

... [ The hand collected is given a light squeeze. ]

We work together, remember? [ So shopping it was. ]

[likewishes]

Right. Together.

[ How could so many people have underestimated her? Euphemia and Nunnally have to the strongest people in their family. By far. They are loving. Kind. Able to accept things and move on. To look forward towards the future with conviction. ]

...I wish we could have met here under better circumstances.

[euphemia]

You're here, remember? My circumstances are better because of it... [ She can accept this situation if it genuinely means all is well at home. A smile is given, weak yet reassuring, before attempting to drop his hand now that she feels a little more at ease. ]

Will you teach me how to shop for groceries now?

[likewishes]

[ Lelouch just lets it slip into his pocket. ]

Don't let me forget it, hmm?

[ He wouldn't want her to be alone in a strange place, of course. ]

Anyway, yes. I'll teach you how to look for deals and how to pick out fruit and vegetables properly.

[euphemia]

[ Her hands fold to her front as a smile is given to his small request. She can uphold that. Though why he would need reminding is beyond her understanding. ]

I guess you're my teacher today. [ And with that, she turns to continue their trip. Though not after pausing so he can ... catch up with her this time. ]

[likewishes]

[ Are they going to be able to walk together this time? No more sad stares or horrific thoughts for the time being? ]

For as long as necessary.

[euphemia]

[ Yes, they can finally walk together. There might be a few sad stares here and there but he can't really help that after the conversation. They're walking together, at least! It's a start. ]
