Lyra: Okay, I think the LAST thing I need to do is plate the food...
With Lyra just about to start dishing Rem's share onto her plate, suddenly, the door to the room flew open, sending a gust of air about the room and causing the tiny flames on each of the candles to flicker and hold on for dear life. Some did not survive.
With most of the light in the room scattering about as the candles stabilized, in jumpedthrough the door a figure of black, a familiar shade of blue, and a recognizable rattle of chains.
Rem: Lyra-chan! Nee-sama said—
*Splunk*
Freezing mid-motion, Lyra lost the balance of the spaghetti on her serving utensil meant for Rem's plate. Thankfully, landing on its intended target, the orange sauce and noodle mixture still arrived in a less-than-graceful way. Immediately noticing the ambiance of the room, Rem lowered the chain she held which led to her morningstar.
Rem: Lyra-chan...
An expression of immense confusion covered her face from what she saw before her.
Lyra: Is... Is everything okay?
Still dumbstruck, Rem croaked out her words.
Rem: N-Nee-sama said that Lyra-chan was cornered by a large spider...
Lyra: …
Lyra was unsure of what to say to Rem. Rem nervously lowered her morningstar more and looked around the room, trying to gather what Lyra was doing in a candle-lit room.
Rem: Umm... can Rem ask what Lyra-chan is doing in the room that her and Nee-sama cleaned today?
Seeing the girl softly ask what everything was for, Lyra felt her cheeks become slightly more flushed. Lyra finally let Rem in on what she had been up to.
Lyra Well, since we've been dating for a week now, I thought I'd make you a nice dinner to celebrate, but since that anniversary fell on your birthday too, I-I decided to do it the night before... so,here we are.
Slowly, Rem put together the pieces. Looking around herself more, Rem analyzed what she had walked into.
The candles, the flowers, Lyra-chan's cooking, and even—!
While she at first hadn't understood why Ram insisted on her trying her new dress on the night before their birthday, it all suddenly made sense.
Rem: R-Rem's dress...!
Coming to the realization as she looked down at the dress she was asked to wear, a wave of shock went across Rem's face.
Rem: L-Lyra-chan did all this for REM?! A DINNER?! A-An ANNIVERSARY?!
Giving the blue-haired girl a weak look, Lyra finished properly setting the table while she answered.
Lyra: Well, Ram, bless her heart, set up a LOT of this on her own.
While still holding the hilt to her morningstar, Rem put her hand to her chin.
Rem: THAT would explain why Nee-sama wanted this room clean... but Rem STILL doesn't think she deserves this... Rem made Lyra-chan a cloak, but this was FAR more work to set up. Rem MUST find a way to repay Lyra-chan and Nee-sama.
Lyra: I'm pretty sure that Ram and I are even. I cleaned the kitchen from the chef's visit in exchange for THIS, I'd say.
Rem: Nee-sama DOES dislike cleaning the kitchen... and this room WAS on our list of ones that needed to be cleared out…
Lyra: Then, I guess it's nothing to fret over! Here!
Walking around the table, Lyra pulled Rem's chair out.
