Lynette, when you have the time there are two that have been helping us here and there I would like you to meet. I may have mentioned them to you briefly before, of course.
[Voice because, well. She was with Belle and Beau, so they would know what she was planning. She had called Lyney with them present before, so it only seemed right to do the same for the 'sister' they had heard about.
Arlecchino didn't wish to make plans involving the Tortie Twins without them preset for it in some way; it put them more at ease.]
Lyney has done very well in teaching them the art of magic, if he's spoken of them to you yet.
[ Lynette's using voice because Father did first, and because it's easier. The less she has to fiddle with the phone, the less the screen and casing get damaged. ]
Understood. Lyney has mentioned them in passing, and I look forward to meeting them.
[ Her voice is even, but really that's an understatement. The only reason she hasn't barged in to meet them already is because she doesn't want to overwhelm and scare them. She remembers what it's like to be young and taken underwing; it requires a strategic approach to strangers. ]
[Simply solidifying that, that this would be the Sister mentioned to them at times. Some little bit of familiarity that would finally put someone to that.
There was a soft hum-]
On Eltrut, there is a bakery with pastries and there baked goods that remind me of a few places in Fontaine—it is simply known as Pain. [Bread. Coordinates were attached.] They have a rooftop that allows for a view of town, and where some of the woods start. We shall be at the table there.
We will have a few cakes and coffee to share.
[Bell and Beau had been doing well with their shows and had wanted to pay; she allowed it.]
[ She knows better than to keep Father waiting, even when the invitiation is a social one rather than a mission briefing. The ettiquette is one and the same.
She terminates the call and makes her way to Pain. It's not hard to find--Lynette has a good handle on getting around Eltrut without issue. Plus, she's made a mental note of where all of the bakeries and cafés are. She hasn't tried this one yet, but she knows exactly where it is.
Upon arriving, she makes her way to the rooftop, where she easily spots Father with two young calico-cat children. She approaches and bows in greeting. ]
Hello, Father.
[ She straighten and then turns to the children. ]
And to you two as well. I'm pleased to have the chance to finally meet you.
[Of course the twins remained together, just to the side as Arlecchino was sitting at what could be called the head of the table there. Her head tipped, while Belle and Beau bowed in turn; perhaps a learned grace to show just how well Lyney's teachings had stuck with them.
Arlecchino gestured, both an invitation for taking seats and—]
This is Belle and Beau, they have been helping in keeping extra eyes out on the city—Lyney has also been teaching them magic, how to perform in front of crowds.
[There was a polite tilt to Belle's head as she and her brother sat- 'A pleasure, we have heard much of you.' Beau nodding along as his sister spoke.]
The coffee has cooled just the right amount.
[There was certainly a familiar spread of cakes and pastries there, already picking up her own cup.]
[This message isn’t a surprise. Lynette saw the discussion on the network—of course she’s snooping, it’s what she’s best at. However, she wants to hear Fremi’s version of events rather than jump into it based on what she saw.]
I told him that I know Father wants him to be the next in line for the Hearth. And I said that I wanted him to be happy because I wanted him to be with Heizou.
i know you didn't mean to. and no apologies necessary. i've been looking for an excuse to make some tea and eat some of these cookies I recently procured.
[ By "cookies" she means pocky. She just scored a whole bunch of them from a certain Garrus Vakarian. ]
[ Inside a nicely wrapped box that is addressed to Lynette is a nice tea set that seems to be mermaid themed. The mermaids might have cat ears. No other name accompanies the package, though Lynette can guess who the giver might be based off context. ]

[And just like that, within a few minutes or so, there was a knock heard. Mumbling to himself, he wasn't sure if this was a good idea. But...]
Are you there? It's me, Freminet.
