[swordofzero]

Characters: Suzaku and Sherlock
Format: Prose
This log is: Closed
Location: The courtyard
Summary: Suzaku is still looking for potential weapons for Lelouch and bumps into Sherlock, a plan forms
Warnings:

Suzaku wandered through the grounds of the school lost in thought, he and Lelouch were not actually much further into having a plan to rescue Nunnally back from Gino. They hadn't even been able to talk to Nunnally privatly as Gino had been around her always. Suzaku was still looking for people who could join with Lelouch. He had hoped to convince Lelouch to vow with five people and therefore not need to fight but Lelouch was being adament that he wanted to fight Gino himself.

Suzaku had given up arguing, but it did not stop him trying to think, who did he know that could help him protect Lelouch. He sat down on the steps of one of the buildings by the courtyard. He was going to go and train with Sora, but not for another hour yet. He looked up when he heard footsteps coming towards him.

Sherlock spares Suzaku a curious glance as he passes by. Ever since Sherlock saw him having a surreptitious conversation on a roof, he has been a subject of some mild interest.

"Afternoon," he says politely.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku looked up at the voice, he nodded politely as he recognised the boy from the boy playing violin in the window. His name had been Sherlock, Suzaku remembered. "Afternooon Sherlock, how are you?" He said quietly and politely.

[bitofafiction]

"I am doing tolerably well. And yourself?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku nodded, "I am fine thank you sir," he fell quiet expecting the man to continue walking before he remembered something.

"Oh your a player this round, right?"

[bitofafiction]

He smiles a little.

"Yes. As are you. Are you in need of a battle?"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku nodded, "Well... if you wanted to battle," they had to battle in order not to lose tokens, and though he was planning to battle Gino to win back Nunnally Sherlock would need to battle as well and Suzaku didn't mind. "Have you vowed with anyone yet?"

[bitofafiction]

"Let us say my supply of Weapons willing to fight is not assured."

[swordofzero]

"Oh," Suzaku fell silent, well they couldn't battle if Sherlcok didn't even have a weapon. But he also knew that if Sherlock did not fight soon he would lose tokens and that wasn't really fair if Sherlock just didn't know many people or had found weapons who didn't want to be used in battle but hadn't found enough to win the round.

"Do you think you can find another weapon?"

[bitofafiction]

He shrugs, spreading his hands.

"It is not assured. As I said."

God only knows what condition Lloyd will be in after their little experiment tomorrow morning. And Sherlock has not, thus far, had word from anyone else.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku nodded slowly, Sherlock seemed happy enough to fight, he wasn't someone who disliked violence, but he just had no weapons. Suzaku felt a bit guilty as he had managed to vow with four people.

Wait... he had an idea, he wondered for a moment if it was in the rules, he wasn't sure but he could sugest it anyways and then go and look it up.

"Do you think it's allowed if I asked one of my weapons to vow with you tempararily for us to fight, so that you aren't punished for not fighting?"

[bitofafiction]

"It is not explicitly forbidden in the rules," he says after a moment's thought. "If the weapon in question is amenable, then so am I."

[swordofzero]

Suzaku nodded, "Well I can ask, maybe Theta would be happy to switch for a battle," Theta seemed alright with the battle system, despite being new and he thought it would be easier to ask her then try and convince Huashi who was very stubborn at times. "We could meet tomorrow? Once I have asked if it is alright with Theta."

[bitofafiction]

"Ah, yes, Miss Buckley. We've met. That should be fine, provided she agrees."

[swordofzero]

Suzaku nodded, "I'll see you tomorrow then..." He looked awkward and began to move away.

[bitofafiction]

Sherlock tucks his hands in his pockets and smiles. "Indeed."
