Very well. Although I may see you this evening if that's the case. It's fine, however. I will likely spend the night in the training hall or the library.
Do try not to irritate Rigaldo too much while you're here, though?
You own your own house, I can rely on you not to ask me inane questions about my wellbeing, and you didn't mock me for acting like the village idiot in front of the entire city.
I'll know by tomorrow evening whether or not Lelouch will be making use of the spare room. If not, you'll have it to yourself. It is the room on the second floor nearest the stairs and beside Jon's. Although it is smaller than the others, it is private and well away from the noise that sometimes befalls the main floor during the daytime.
Voice.
[Have another sigh.]

[ All forced jollity. But he'll do his best to avoid him anyway. And Isley, if he can manage it. ]
...Thank you.
[ Those words are a lot more grudging when he's not enchanted. ]
Voice.
You'll be expected to earn your keep the same as anyone else under my roof. No servants will wait on you there.
Voice.
...Even if it's, perhaps, been a while.
Voice.
[...]
Why did you come to me?
Voice.
[ And because... he knew Isley'd say yes. ]
Voice.
[Isley's amusement sounds subdued, however.]

Your generosity is appreciated, Isley.
Voice.
And that you won't mind being equally cooperative if ever I need something from you in the future, yes?
