Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Cara learns that most properly trained [Mages] are from Wistram Academy. Innkeeper Catorn suggests to ask a Helpful Servant for a magic-related service. Cara goes to a Helpful Servant named Seirne that Catorn had hired, who had been tirelessly working by bussing tables and cleaning tables. Initially Seirne gives a default answer, so Catorn has to tell the Servant that Cara is not a “regular guest.” The [Singer] is unnerved when Seirne’s bland personality suddenly turns into slightly impish. The Helpful Servant directs Cara to go to a stall where she can consult with enchanting help. When the [Singer] pulls out her phone, calling it a magical artifact, Seirne notices that one of her fellow workers has a similar device. Shocked, Cara asks where the person works, and runs towards the place.
While Cara is impatiently waiting at the stall, As someone who is familiar with labor workers, Cara notices that the Helpful Servants seem too content and genuine, and is unnerved with how they seem like robots most of the time, only becoming ‘alive’ at certain times. Despite the low pay, there are benefits to the class such as being insulated from pains and aches. After a [Lady] hires a Helpful Servant, having specifically asked for a hairdresser named Elena who had “personality,” Cara asks the attendant for help with enchantments, as well as finding the other person with the magical device. While there is no available enchanting services, the attendant recognizes the phone that Cara shows her. The attendant, whose lilac-and-green eyes have concentric rings, is briefly interested in the phone, but dismisses it after realizing it has no magic, seemingly telling herself to “Go back to your work.” Cara is startled, moreso when she realizes the attendant’s eyes no longer has the rings, but she still asks to speak with the person with the same device. The attendant reveals the person to be Elena, who had been just hired by another [Lady]. Unable to speak to her while her services are engaged, Cara places a reservation in an hour. While she is waiting, someone tries to grab her, while shouting they had found her. She punches the would-be abductor in terror and tries to run, but six [Mages] grab her and carry her off.
