[color=f49ac2]Lyra - Summer Court[/color]

Once they arrived at the court Lyra slid down from her perch on The Tree Lady after thanking her and giving her a hug for bringing her there. Then she ran off to find Ba-Ba, her little footsteps echoing in the great hall.
All members of the Summer Court mostly ignored the small creature. The few that did look her way smiled in an indulgent way that one might to a small dog before turning back to their own business. Everyone knew the tiny human was the pet of the Summer King and as such was untouchable. She was a sweet cute little thing, so no one had any qualms or designs against her, although a few resented the fact that a human child had a higher place in court than many of them did. They knew the King would sacrifice them without a second thought if it meant the safety of his little pet.
Once a court official had stepped on the child as she had been running about, scrapping her fragile knee and then had spoken harshly to her, blaming her for the instance. The cry of pain and tears of hurt feelings had brought down the wrath of the King. No one liked to think of what had happened to that official.

Lyra ran straight to her little cushion by the throne and frowned. [color=f49ac2]Ba-Ba?"[/color] she called, looking about before stomping her foot and looking towards a guard. [color=f49ac2]"Where is my Ba-Ba?"[/color]
No one laughed at the ridiculous name the child called her master. They all knew better.
The guard leaned down. "He is away on business small one. He shall return soon."
Lyra pouted but nodded. She didn't like it but had to accept it. [color=f49ac2]"Will you play with me?"[/color]
The guard shook his head. "I'm sorry. I am on duty and cannot. The King shall return soon. Maybe he will bring you something if you are a good girl," he said gently, trying to make her feel better not only so the King would not come back to a sad child but also because he really did want to appease her. She was a good human, well behaved for the most part and all would admit she was adorable.

Lyra nodded, still not happy but would try to be good. Her Ba-Ba didn't like it when she was bad and would scold her. It never lasted long but she didn't like being scolded.

While running around the court she found her way back towards the kitchen where she tried and succeeded in using her cuteness to receive some small sweet cakes as a treat. The cook loved her and often spoiled her, which frustrated the King at times.
As she nibbled on one of the cakes she spotted Emerald leaving the kitchen and followed. She lost sight of her because Emerald disappeared, but saw something interesting. Guards standing outside a door.
Not afraid at all, after all what was there for her to fear under the protection of the King, she went over and walked right in the room. The guards didn't stop her. She outranked them. She could go anywhere she pleased unless the King specifically forbade it and he hadn't forbade the child from interacting with the prisoner.

Lyra saw the pretty woman inside the room and cocked her head like a curious puppy. [color=f49ac2]"Hi,"[/color] she finally said, smiling brightly and going to the woman. [color=f49ac2]"You are a pretty lady. What's your name? I'm Lyra. I'm this many,"[/color] she said, holding up four fingers. [color=f49ac2]"Here, you have cake too,"[/color] she offered the pretty lady the other small cake.
