Bella nodded at the instructions given to her.  "Yes, Lady Miki."  She then departed for the kitchen, to gather tonight's dinner for the new employee.<br/><br/>Mana heard the noise Miki made as she retired to her room.  Easing the door open to her own room just a<em>little</em>, she poked her head out to see that, yes, Miki's door was indeed open.  Quietly closing her door and going back into solitude, she busied herself about her room.  The persona being pushed on her was...manageable.  She could be herself, when she was alone.  But she knew, somehow, that the moment she ran into a guest, or a significant portion of the staff, she was going to be Miki's sister.  For now, though, she was Mana Amilar, Lookshyan Ranger.<br/><br/>Having gone over the<em>five</em>(she had counted them) other outfits in her closet, three times no less, Mana was just sitting in her room.  Normally, doing nothing would have been fine for the ranger - waiting in ambush for an enemy required lots of it.  But she also knew that she was supposed to perform in the evening...which is what it was now.  She thought she was about to go absolutely insane when the door opened, and a young woman came in with a try.  "Dinner for you."  She set it on the desk and started to leave.<br/><br/>Mana stopped her.  "Wait! Don't go!  Stay...?"  Bella shook her head.  "Sorry, I'm on deck tonight.  I might be called at any minute."  She extricated herself from the room, leaving Mana alone again.  Well, at least she had food this time.  She sat down, taking as long as she could to eat the meal.  But even it had to end, and no more than a quarter hour after it had, there was a knock on a door.<br/><br/>"L-lady Miki...?"
