[It's late when Euphie slips down the hall in her pajamas to lightly knock on her brother's door. She doesn't want to disturb or potentially alarm anyone. And she hopes she won't be waking him up.

She's not even entirely sure what she wants to say or do. She just needs to see him. It usually makes her feel better. She hopes tonight won't be an exception.]

[ there's no hesitation in his voice as he speaks; and if you could see his expression, it would be equally unfaltering. Suzaku is all-business right now, and knight of the round mode is go. ]

Gino Weinberg is missing. In his absence, I'm assuming temporary command. [ he's open to another leader taking over; it would actually be better for his and Lelouch's PR if they aren't seen to be running the DF. but, in the meantime. ]

Does anyone have any questions?

[Private to PM]

...PM?

[Saya's voice is small and quiet, and she hesitates as if unsure.]

PM, I... I don't think I want to get any mail anymore.

[ Anyone who happens to be crazy enough to be up so late and be near the dojo might just find C.C. inside, doing some slow tumbling; back bends, handstands, that sort of thing. Her hair's tied up into braids circling her head, and she's just wearing a tank top and her shorts, despite the fact it's a little chilly in there. In the corner, Beagle is curled up and fast asleep in a blanket she brought for him.

She can't sleep. ]
