Seeing the small glimmer of lights shimmering around Emilia, Lyra knew she was doing her nightly routine of talking with the microspirits. Reaching the gazebo the two were under, Lyra slumped over the railing, exhausted from her sprinting. As she scared away the twinkling lights that were around Emilia, the two were also surprised to see Lyra show up so suddenly.
Emilia: Oh! Lyra! Did you see the spirits and decide to come running?
Lyra: *Huff* Not...*Huff* exactly.
Catching her breath Lyra pointed over to Subaru.
Lyra: I... *huff*...need to borrow...*huff* him really quick!
Surprised to hear he was the subject of this sudden encounter, Subaru protested.
Subaru: Just when I finally get some alone time with Emilia-tan, I'm being ripped away! I refuse!
Crossing his arms in a pout, Subaru turned away.
Emilia: Umm...maybe I can help?
Shaking her head, Lyra answered, determination on her mind.
Lyra: I appreciate the offer, but I'll only be needing Subaru at the moment.
Subaru: You've got another thing coming if you think you can steal me away from Emilia-tan! ESPECIALLY since you're someone who ACTUALLY gets to spend time with-
Lyra: If you help me out, then you won't have to eat more of Ram's tatoes for dinner tonight!
Giving a look of weakness to Emilia, Subaru slumped his shoulders and gave in.
Subaru: Fine. But can we make it quick?
Lyra: I can't exactly promise THAT, but I WILL keep to my word about the tatoes.
Giving Emilia a small wave, Subaru bid her adieu.
Subaru: Sorry, Emilia-tan.It sounds like I'm DESPERATELY needed ELSEWHERE.
Surprised to see him leave so soon, Emilia jumbled over her words.
Emilia: Ah-eh...what? Umm... Maybe I could come along? Also, what's that about Ram cooking? Where's Rem going to be...? SHE'S the one who normally cooks...
Lyra gave a wave to her as well.
Lyra: I'm really sorry, Emilia, but since you're kind of out of the loop, I'm afraid I have to decline.
Seeing the look of sadness on her face, Lyra felt a pang of guilt. Putting her hands together, she pleaded to the girl to not feel so sad.
Lyra: I had some hiccups in my plan and I REALLY need EVERYTHING to stay a secret as MUCH as I can, so the fewer people who know, the better. I promise I'll make it up to you for stealing away Subaru!
Lyra saw the half-elf's expression slightly improve, however, she still had the same sadness in her eyes. Nodding, she agreed.
Emilia: Alright, it's a promise.
Lyra: Thank you!
As Lyra and Subaru sped-walked back up to the mansion across the lawn, the evening sun was starting to turn the sky a hue of yellow. Well out of earshot of Emilia, Subaru grunted in complaint.
Subaru: Just when Puck decided to go to bed early, too... You REALLY better be in DIRE straits to take me away from PRIME time with MY Emilia-tan!
Lyra: I can promise you, I wouldn't do this unless I absolutely HAD to.
