A/N: Quick, very small, unimportant spoiler alert: This chapter will mention a rather insignificant event from a Felt-focused short story called "Riot In Flanders." I thought it would only be fair I say it now just in case. Again, nothing even MINOR will be spoiled here.
Chapter 45: Payday
After having been woken up by Rem once more, Lyra and her had walked to breakfast, where once again, she got an ornately-plated meal.
With Rem and Lyra having seperated for the day's work, Lyra had set about trimming the main lawn for the first time since the snow festival.
I think that snow had some sort of growth formula mixed into it... The grass has NEVER been THIS thick before!
Struggling, Lyra conceded to making three passes rather than two to get the lawn to look right and not spend the entire morning on just two passes.
It's like mowing wet spaghetti...
Stopping, Lyra had a short epiphany.
Spaghetti… one of my favorite types of food besides potatoes…
As she looked at the lawn and having just finished her second pass, the gears in Lyra's mind spun.
Come to think of it, it WILL be mine and Rem's one- week anniversary of dating in a few days...
Thinking she should do something special, an earlier thought still lingered in her mind.
Spaghetti!!! Yes!!
As Lyra pounded her fist into her open palm, the two ideas finally combined.
Lyra: That's it!!!
As Lyra took a break from cutting the lawn and going about a few other trimming tasks, Ram came outside, ready to tell Lyra that she was done for the day once the lawn was finished. Going to leave, Lyra called after Ram.
Lyra: Hey, Ram?
Following the pink-haired maid up the steps to the mansion's back patio, Lyra made her request.
Lyra: Do you have a minute? I want to run an idea past you really quick, as I might need your help.
Somewhat surprised that Lyra of all people was asking for her help, Ram looked up to the sky where the sun was now overhead, as if guessing what time it was.
Ram: Sure. What is it that you need?
Lyra: I want to make something special for Rem. A dinner, specifically. But...
Ram: ...But? Do you have something in mind?
Lyra: I do. But, I'm not sure if some of the ingredients I need are easy to find.
Ram tilted her head as if prompting Lyra to elaborate to elaborate, which she did.
Lyra: Well, for starters, I need some long noodle pasta.
Putting a hand to her chin, Ram thought for a moment before answering.
Ram: You should be able to find something like that from a vendor in the village...
Lyra: However, I think the hardest thing to find will be... well, have you heard of a “tomato”?
As Ram lifted an eyebrow at the obviously-foreign word, Lyra's hopes declined by the second.
Ram: '”Tomato”...Lyra, you wouldn't happen to mean a “Tometo”, would you?
Lyra quickly rememberedthis world's different names for its food items. The similarity in the naming certainly meant it was close. Lyra had to make sure,though.
