10 year old Lelouch's stance was quite similar to Euphie and Suzaku's current stances. He also has the advantage of hearing Imperial Family News everywhere, probably, and knows her personality well enough to realize she's possibly unlike Clovis. (I would rant on the interesting that's LL and SZK's reactions on the Episode 16 Massacre + Resultant War, but it'd be OT)

I still want Schneizel to have dork points. ;_; It's just not the Britannian Royal Family without a few levels in dorkery. Sigh.
