Sorry about the last short episode
1 hour later at Babel Tower
"Geri!!" The even taller man said "it's been a while"
"Diethard " he responded shaking his hand cautiously " It has been a long time"
"yes, a long time indeed" the blond arrogant Britannian said.
It's not that Geri didn't like Diethard, he just didn't trust him. In fact the use of the term 'old friend' is a bit of a stretch. They were more of situational colleagues, so when a 'situational colleague' that you don't trust, and are pretty sure they don't trust you, calls and tells you that you have to speak with them, and that they will pay for your drinks you listen… closely.
Of course Diethard didn't trust Geri ether, but he was in control of the situation. He knew of Geri, his heroism, his status during the rebellion, but what the Britannian couldn't understand was Geri's total lack of knowledge of his past. And rather than spoil his new life, the crafty Britannian decided to observe it. All of the memory losses are linked to zero that much he was sure of.
" I'll have the 12 year old rice wine… yes the one with strawberries, ooooo.. 200 a glass… that's ok my friend here is picking up the tab." Geri look at Diethard, smiled and nodded. Diethard grasped at his wallet in dismay "Well it looks like I'll be taking the bus home"
" that's an eleven drink" Diethard said
"yeah well" Geri sighed "all ideas of eleven inferiority left my mind the minuet I tried the booze, this shit is great. So enough stroking my dick. Why am I here?"
"Zero is coming back" Diethard said plainly. Geri's drink shot up his nose in surprise.
"Christ, why tell me that while I am sipping 200 dollar booze?!, aw fuck, I got it all over me."
"I thought you would like to know of this" Diethard said plainly, grimacing at the thought of buying Geri another drink.
"shit, it looks like I pissed myself…" Geri began dabbing his pants with a napkin " Yeah that's great, how do you know that, and what dose it have to do with me?"
"Nothing" Diethard said as he shot up in his chair. It was beginning. He could recognize that redhead anywhere, and if she was here, it meant They were coming. " I would finish my drink if I were you, this place isn't safe." and then he left. That would piss Geri off, but he had come to expect that form Diethard. He was a clever man, far too clever for his own good. Then Geri saw something out of the corner of his eye, well two something's to be exact. Two very nice something's, suspended and jiggling from the chest of the most attractive women in the room… at least according to Geri. She seemed to bump into a lanky raven haired…. "son of a bitch" Geri yelled "Lelouch!!"
