That is good news. The evening does seem a more appropriate time, though it will be on the later side due to rehearsals. Would 9pm work for you?

[It will give Lelouch an excellent reason not to even come home until after Suzaku has likely retired for the evening that way.]

[Voice]

[thejakeisalie]

That would be perfect, I think.

[He'll probably have to endure dinner with Kotetsu and Kaede, but he'd managed that so far. And then maybe a slow walk to wherever they're meeting, just to get him out of the house...]

Did you want to go anywhere in particular?

[The Foxhole was an option, but if Lelouch wanted to go somewhere else Barnaby would probably prefer that.]

There's a little tavern not too far from the theater. We'd certainly have privacy if we go there.

[Lelouch includes directions here.]

[Voice] ROFL it's been forever since i did that

[thejakeisalie]

Wonderful.

[He's smiling with his voice; that sounds perfect. They'll be able to drink in peace, and Barnaby is somewhat hopeful that he'll be as much help to his friend as Lelouch was to him so many months ago. Not that he's the best at that sort of thing, but sometimes just being there and listening helps.]

I'll see you there.

[Voice] LOL, I just did that last week somewhere

[strategizing]

Thank you for being so accommodating. I'll see you then. [At the least, Lelouch knows Barnaby is someone he can talk to who will keep his confidence. There are not many about whom Lelouch could say that.]

[Not here]

[thejakeisalie]

[He'll do his best, but all bets are off once he's so far gone Kotetsu has to carry him home.]
