...Akiha-sama.

[That's the first thing Lambda says when she appears on the Vine. Which, despite her broadcast clearly being addressed to one person, has not filtered the message in anyway. If possible, Lambda looks even more unamused than normal, and a peek at the background of the video reveals she appears to be standing in the interior of...]

[...A luxury spa? Since when did the Gardens have one of those? As if to clear up the confusion on that very subject, she continues:]

I have detected another anomaly within the mansion.

[She finds walking into one of the wings only to find it has been replaced with something completely foreign to be rather troublesome, it seems.]

Comments

[ritsu_kouyou]

I suppose stranger things have happened.

[cobbledtogether]

This is strange?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Not many enjoy my presence, Lambda. I don't have the patience for most people.

[cobbledtogether]

[She ponders that as well.]

...I can find no reason to feel otherwise.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Then you are one of the few.

[She does give a small smile.] I'm glad...

[cobbledtogether]

[More thinking. This time, she can't find a good way to vocalize her nebulous, wordless feelings, so in the end she just nods.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha lets Lambda's hair go.]

There. Beautiful. Now, let's work on your skin. I think there's some creams and exfoliates over here...

[She wanders off to another area of this... spa.]

[cobbledtogether]

[And Lambda follows in silence, as obedient as ever.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Looking over the various tubes of cream, Akiha finds one and hands it to Lambda.]

Give yourself a full scrubbing with that, but be careful not to overdo it. If your skin starts looking a little pink, you're using too much pressure. Then wash it off and come back.

[cobbledtogether]

[Again, she does as told, though now she takes a moment to read whatever directions are printed on the tube. The movement seems a bit foreign to her. (Maybe she has self-cleaning nanomachines to go along with the self-repair ones?)]

[But, either way, somewhere in the middle of scrubbing she asks:]

What is the purpose of a "spa day"?

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha is brushing her own hair out while Lambda scrubs.]

Spa Day is for ladies to get away from the men and take some time to relax the mind and properly pamper their bodies.

[cobbledtogether]

[Lambda tilts her head at that.]

But there are no men present within the Gardens.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Men aren't required. Women can suffice, especially here where the Queen insists on forcing the subject of female relationships upon us.
