Location: Pale Dorm, Utena's room
Summary: Suzaku goes to ask Utena a favour, knight to knight.
Warnings:

It was early eavning as Suzaku made his way to Pale Dorm. He had been looking out for Utena all day, he hadn't managed to find her in the crowded lobby at the round change announcement the day before and he hadn't seen her at meals or in classes. Now that eavning was approaching he was headed to her dorm to see if she was there.

He wasn't sure how to ask her this favour, after all he didn't know her that well even if she had joined his and Sora's promise to beat this schools system and help everyone escape. He also didn't feel comfortable dragging anyone else into his and Lelouch's problems with Gino. After all it was an issue that had started in their own world and Suzaku definitly didn't want to involve the people of this world with Britannia politics.

But the truth remained that Suzaku couldn't protect Lelouch when they were both players, Sora was already vowed with Tamoko and there wasn't that many other people he trusted. He realised he had arrived at the door and knocked quietly. Two days had nearly passed since the round announcement, it was very likely that Utena had already vowed to someone but still, it was worth a try. Suzaku waited.

"Oh, you need me? Of course. We vowed to help each other out, didn't we?" She thought it was charming that he even felt he had to ask, after the vow the three of them had said.

Suzaku gave another smile, almost a genuine one. "Thank you Utena, but it is a little different, I have four weapons, but Lelouch has also been chosen as a player..." He felt a bit awkward asking but they had promised to help each other out, he'd do as much for Utena.

"I can't protect him when I am a player as well... so Sora sugested that I ask you, if you would mind vowing with him..."
