"I really wanna help Rias, but I'm just so scared that everyone will see me and think I'm a monster.
" Shame flushed the young boy's cheeks as he admitted his fear to Lelouch before he felt the Knight begin to rub his head much like how Gasper had seen him rub Koneko's.
"You're not a monster, Gasper." Lelouch said as he softly pat the boy on his head comfortingly. "You're a good kid, you just need to have a little more confidence in yourself." He smiled at the young boy as they reached his room.
"Rias wouldn't think less of you if you asked her to stay out of it, she's already really impressed you've managed to come out of your shell so far.
" Truly, between him, Koneko, Rias, and Issei, Gasper had managed to regularly interact with them without having a breakdown as he froze time to try and escape.
Kiba, Akeno, and Asia spoke with Gasper less than they did, but it wasn't because they didn't care.
They were just wary of overwhelming the poor boy and chose to leave most of the interaction between the four Gasper had connected the most with.
"I don't want to be a coward." Gasper whispered as he opened his door to walk in so he could try and get some rest.
"But I don't know if I can be brave. What if you're wrong and everyone thinks I'm just some monster?" Gasper looked up at Lelouch through the fringes of his hair as tears slowly dripped down his cheeks.
Lelouch knelt down on one knee and looked Gasper in the eye. "If you like, I can tell you a story about a real monster, and you can decide for yourself whether you're anything like him." Lelouch gave the Dhampir a soft smile as he pat his head. "What do you say?"
"A story? About a real monster?" Gasper's voice was soft as he considered Lelouch's offer.
Lelouch smiled as he walked into Gasper's room and helped tuck the shy, scared Bishop into bed. He began his tale, brushing Gasper's hair slightly like he had occasionally done to Rolo once he was safely inside his oddly cozy coffin.
"Let me tell you a story about a man known as the Demon Emperor."
Lelouch sat with his arms resting on his knees, relaxing on his bed as he awaited Koneko's arrival so that the pair of them could leave for the ORC clubroom. The battle against Riser would begin in less than half an hour.
He had been avoiding Akeno since the last day of training ended, but thankfully the Queen hadn't pressed too hard.
Things were complicated enough at the moment without having to answer her confession from a few days ago, not to mention the storm that would result if Koneko was around when the Knight and Queen discussed said confession.
"Ready to go?" Koneko hopped down the last step after he spoke, turning to him with a slight grin. Things weren't exactly smooth between the two of them, but the sight of Lelouch in the jacket she had gotten him as a gift brightened her mood a little bit.
"As ready as I can be." The Rook stated after she took a steadying breath. She was… nervous, there was no way around admitting that.
In the past, she had only truly had the opportunity to go all out against Strays, to have the chance to go after other Devils with her full power was… both exciting and unsettling.
The consequences of this battle would be massive, win or lose and that made her nervous.
At least she had dressed comfortably, wearing a pair of pawprint gloves that were of the same padded variety martial artists wore and her clothing consisted of her usual hairpins and a black and gold Chinese style qipao dress.
She wore her usual pair of shoes, leaving her legs bare of any impediments to her mobility. While it was different from her usual outfits, it was something that she felt comfortable in and would offer her a great deal of mobility, though the downside was that her black specked panties would be visible if she wasn't careful.
Her comfort mattered little though when it came to combat capabilities, shame had no place on the battlefield.
Lelouch, on the other hand, was wearing the jacket Koneko had gotten him as a gift, unzipped for the moment and his hood was left down, a tank-top colored a dark blue beneath it with a pair of black pants and dark boots covering his feet.
As the pair stood, Lelouch's phone began to ring. Pulling it out of his pocket as Koneko created a magic circle to transport them to the clubhouse, Lelouch waved her through.
"Don't worry about it, I'll answer then meet you there after I'm done talking." After a moment's hesitation, Koneko nodded and left through the circle, a flash signaling her departure.
After swiping the icon to answer, Lelouch held the phone up to his ear. "Hello." He blinked in surprise as the individual on the other end spoke.
"Really so soon? I thought you said it would take longer?" Then something was said that made Lelouch frown. "Extra, what? I didn't…" Lelouch paused then sighed. "I'm sorry, I don't have the time to go there and speak with you in person.
I have something I need to handle now. I'll meet with you sometime later in the week." The other person sounded displeased, but acquiesced to Lelouch's demands.
"I have to go, keep a record of everyone who has been involved, I'd like to examine it personally."
This was annoying, or at least that's what Lelouch was thinking as he created a magic circle to take him to the clubroom after hanging up.
Lelouch sighed as, from his perspective, ORC clubroom appeared around him. Transportation magic really was interesting to experience.
There was almost no feeling of actual movement, unless he was walking through it or he was using someone else's portal, but even then it only felt like he was walking through a door.
