My observations will be noted as such by **Italic thoughts**

Coffee.

Night person. I'm like the owl of Minerva.
Which do you prefer, baths or showers?
I tried using a narrow bathtub for the first time after arriving Japan. As long as it's just once in a while, it's nice enough.
**He has a real bathtub at his disposal in Ashford though, does he barely use it ?**

I'd rather keep that to myself.
**Incest. It's complicated to describe.**

When I couldn't protect my mother and sister.

I determine the root reason of my frustrations and take care of it. Then there's nothing to vent anymore.
Who would you say is your personal hero?
My mother.
**Obviously this interview happened before R2**
Indoor type? Outdoor type?
I won't bother thinking about that, as I can't imagine the interest of this categorization.

What do you most want to eat right now?
Curry Udon. This food surpasses cultural barriers.
Describe your ideal family situation.
In traditional Japanese architecture, there's this concept of a central pillar. A single pillar that supports the entire house. I think the head of a household should be like that.
**This is so Lelouch like, it's the very fondation of how he acts with the one he loves, he had to endure everything.*
Winter. Because it helps me keep focus. I don't really like summer, it brings back unpleasant memories.
Do you get up easily in the morning, or is it a struggle?
I kind of struggle. I have low blood pressure, after all.
How many hours of sleep do you get on average?
Approximately three ? But, with some naps throughout the day, it might be more like six hours.
Your last dream?
I dreamt a meteorite landed on and crushed me. I blame C.C.'s atrocious sleeping posture.
**He never actually accepted to sleep on the floor right ? I can totally see C.C. kicks him in the guts while dreaming**
How much time does it take you to get ready in the morning?
I've never paid attention.
Do you have anyone you admire?
Arthur.
Please tell us how you spend your holidays.
Holiday? this concept is unknown to me (He never takes holiday)
Western food or Japanese food?
What is western food ?
Oh, a generic term? Then, western, I guess, I like Italian.
**I never would have imagined Lelouch craving italian food, I hope it's not again because of pizza hut, this is not italian food**
If you could be born again, what would you like to be?
Arthur.
What have you been really into lately?
Creating an organization, I suppose.
Your favorite animal?
Cats. They're lithe and beautiful.
Like a waltz. Even if Arthur is more like a pop song.
Of the necessities of life (clothing, food, shelter), which is the most important?
Shelter. It's a person's base of operations, as well as their place of refuge;
It is fundamental to any country.
**Ahh Lelouch...**
Sorry to spring this on you, but what is love?
Something given unconditionally.
**Something he indeed gave unconditionnally at the end of the anime **
Please take a guess at what you'll be like 30 years from now.
I'd like you to pray for me that my hair won't become anything like that man's…
*....*
If you could travel through time, when would you go back?
I guess, if I would still remember what I actually know, I'd be able to prevent all of it from happening…
Favorite book? (Or what magazines do you read frequently?)
Lord of the Rings, The prince of Machiavel, Hamlet…
**Of course they had to mention the prince, but the lords of rings ? One might wonder who were his favorite characters and what he loved about this story**
Your preferred type of woman?
A soft person. You know what I mean ?
*Fuwa fuwa na ito >> As a toughtful blogger reminded me, Lelouch said person, not woman ;) ; Fuwa fuwa with the "you know what I mean ?" can actually means something more ecchi than soft girls, so it's either soft (sweet girls) or soft (ecchi sense) girls, or both (or boys, no gender preference over here). Lelouch could have been more hormonal than we knew**
Is it better to devote yourself, or to have someone else devote themselves to you?
I find it more fulfilling to want than to be wanted.
**Why not both Lelouch ?**
Did you receive any Valentine's Day chocolate? How much?
I will not answer that. …"probably none ?"
I got some! Not as many as Nunnally, though, for whatever reason.
**Now that is surprising, wasn't the whole school head over heel in love with him ?**
What would you do with a million yen? (Like if you won the lottery?)
I'd invest them and make ten times the ammount.
What type of person is Suzaku?
Softhearted to the point of turning stupid
We've already reached the forty-ninth question. Are you getting tired?
I've been tired since question 5.
What do you want for Christmas?
A sewing machine. I plan to update my cloak and mask.
