Chapter 5: An Evening Stroll

After Lyra and Subaru both finished their tour and got their measurements done, they went to their rooms to try on their uniforms and to wind down for the night.

Lyra's uniform consisted of a black headband with ribbons close to the ends, a white waist apron,  a black dress shirt, a long black pleated skirt, and black knee-length boots  She found this outfit rather cute, spinning around in it for a bit before changing into her nightgown and going to sleep.

The next morning was an early one, up with the sun. The entire morning was mainly spent explaining duties and showing they could be completed with no help or supervision.

Subaru's duties, while mainly domestic, seemed to be much more regimented than the work Lyra did, which was "If you see it, work on it".

The day for Lyra was spent cutting grass, edging the stone walkway, trimming shrubs, and sweeping dirt off the back patio, until Ram came out early in the evening to tell him she could finish up and be ready for supper.

After dinner though, Lyra was in a slightly frustrating situation however. While everything was set out for tomorrow morning, her uniform and everything else, it was still too early to retire to bed, as it wasn't even twilight yet.

Deciding to take a walk around the mansion's gardens and familiarize herself with what she may have to do tomorrow, Lyra went to retrieve her jacket, the one she had still been wearing when she was brought to the mansion. Adorning himself, she felt a familiar box in the jacket's pocket from the last time she wore it.

Pulling it out, it revealed itself to be the solar charger for her phone.

Wow I forgot I had this on me. I should check to see if my phone even still has charge.

Walking over to her desk drawer, she pulled her phone out and realized it was dead.

Lyra: *sigh* I think I'll just have to set this up in the window and let this thing charge up over the next few days...who knows, though? It might come in handy someday.

She set up the panel just behind a curtain with her phone plugged right in.

Putting on her jacket for real this time, Lyra walked down the hall and down the stairs, hands in her jacket pockets all the while.

Just before reaching the door leading to the back courtyard, someone called to her.

?: Raly.

Lyra: H-huh?

Whoever had just called for her had said what was close to her name, but with the syllables swapped in order, making a crude sounding name.

Ram: Just where do you think you're off to? Rem went up to your room only to find it empty and went looking for you.

Lyra: Huh? I just left my room and came right here. We would have had to have passed each other.

Ram: Well I suggest you head back up and wait for her there. I will inform her that I was able to locate you.

Lyra: Right. I will head back to my room right away, then.

Not wanting to cause any friction, Lyra returned to her room.

Opening the door and entering the room, Lyra took her jacket off before shutting the door, only to hear the door slam shut behind him with one arm halfway through the jacket's sleeve.

Lyra spun around to see Rem with a hand in the door, shut as if she were standing behind the opened door on the inside of the room.

Lyra: G-geez, Rem! You almost scared me half to death—
