[A minor victory, as far as he's concerned, but no less grating with how much Mello seems to want to rub his face in it. At least the man is no longer invading his personal bubble; even if he seems to lack the more problematic incentives for being there, just stay away, dammit, he shouldn't need to explain this.

The glare cools a little, at any rate, and apparently accepting the fact that the Mello has won, Lelouch adopts a marginally more relaxed stance, weight shifting to one side while one hand lifts to cut an expansive gesture.]

All right. You've proven your point. And? You've said yourself that you don't take on pointless cases. What does that make this?
