my thoughts on the matter: Charles brainwashed Lelouch into helping him win the war in the EU, coining the name Julius Kingsley. Julius is begging Suzaku for water because his memories started resurfacing, causing headaches. Suzaku sneers at Julius because he figures this out. Charles gave Suzaku a means of reinforcing the memory compression (similar technology to that of Jerimiah's Geass canceller (?)), which is why Julius is perfectly fine upon exiting the train. I don't think Lelouch is conscientiously acting as Julius because Suzaku requests to be made Kinght of Seven during Lelouch's brainwashing, and Suzaku is already a Knight of the Round in this OVA. There is an eyepatch over Lelouch's Geass eye because Charles had not perfected a Geass supression mechanism fast enough to implement it for the seige on the EU, but had it ready before the events of R2, after or in the middle of Britannia's victory over the EU.
