Lynette

Hello stranger.

But, say, if you were to very seriously proclaim yourself to be in "standby mode" to "save energy," and combine that with a statue-like expression like Lynette's, you can stupefy the other party for a while.

It is through such momentary gaps that Lynette will calmly slip away, all the while wearing a most serious expression.

This method, of course, does not work on friends, but those who know Lynette well are more than aware of her dislike of work, and still more clear with regards to the... consequences of making her do errands.

Though she might spout machine-related lingo often, that is about as far as Lynette understands machines.

There is a saying in her home: No matter what you do, do not leave her unattended in a room with the dishwasher, the vacuum cleaner... or any machine, really.

Failing this, by the time a third party (usually Freminet) arrives on the scene, the machine will have suffered one of two fates: One, it will have broken down, somehow — the dishwasher will foam at the mouth, the vacuum cleaner will suffer convulsions, all while Lynette stands amidst the disaster zone with an innocent expression.

Two, the machines are mercifully spared, but there has been no progress with the task, with Lynette cat-napping in a corner somewhere.

Considering that the result of any one incident is unpredictable, and neither result is desirable, Lynette has, to her relief, been relieved of all housework.

It is strange, however, that she is able to wreck even the simplest machines due to mishandling...

Yet, when onstage operating magical props, Lynette is even more focused than her brother, never having made a single mistake over the years.

From a certain point of view, a "magician's assistant" is a contradictory sort of work.

The cheers and applause are for the magician, the protagonist, and similarly, the flowers and fame are not directed at the protagonist's sidekick.
