[ lumine dozes off even before he can step out of the bedroom, falling back into sleep's warm embrace. but she stirs once more a couple of hours later when she hears her phone ringing, the thin device vibrating against the wooden surface of her bedside table. she gives it a few beats, before an arm reaches out from underneath the covers to fumble and grab it.

she gets up a couple of minutes later and walks out of her bedroom and past ajax in the living room, hair tousled and sticking in places, a strap of her camisole having fallen from her shoulder. barefoot, the marble floor cold against her feet, she pads over to the door and pulls it open.

miss lumine, good morning. i have the groceries you requested for. ]

Thanks, I know it's on such short notice, [ she says with a yawn, waving an older woman into her apartment and helping her with one of the paperbags she's carrying to the kitchen. the woman glances at ajax and gives him a small smile. ] You also don't have to drop by this week. I'll clean up the apartment before Ajax and I leave, so you can relax and take a break for a bit if you need to.

[ her housekeeper offers her a reassuring smile and a nod. you should rest too, miss lumine. you look like you've been working too hard lately. also, there's a lady downstairs who looks like the gentleman in your living room. ]

Ajax? [ she peers out the kitchen, frowning at her guest. ] There's a girl downstairs who apparently looks like you. It might be your sister? You can tell her to come up, if you want.
