[Video | Junk Pile]

[imnotyours]

[Yep. Lyra's been hanging out in the junk pile. And by hanging out, when she tells people that, she really means camping out there because the temple reminds her too much of being with Mrs. Coulter.

So, yeah, it's really just not comfortable being there.

She's got herself a pretty nice little place established, though it's not really that great for a kid and her daemon, but she's stubborn.

Right now though..]

It ain't real easy to find food people can eat around here. So, um, anyone know where I can get some stuff to bring back to camp?

[Arms crossed, she acts all cool and collected as she asks but she's really hungry at this point.

So much so that it's showing in Pan who's curled up in her arms as a rabbit looking quite down trodden.]

[frustrated sigh!] Right. I'll be over there in a sec, kiddo. I'll bring some food and a blanket. But you're not staying there.

You may not, but you know it isn't safe there. If not for the lunatics or monsters running around or popping up, you're basically living in a nest of bacteria and diseases and horrible, possibly infectious injuries waiting to happen. You could just be going out for a walk and step on a nail and get tetanus. And finding medicine for serious injuries here has proven very difficult.

You don't like your temple room, fine. You and your friend - Pan, was it? - can stay with me. Trust me, I'm only nagging because it'd be irresponsible of me to just let you live out in the garbage like a homeless person. I am not asking to serve as your surrogate; I just want you to be safe. You'll have proper shelter, a roof over your head, and I keep a regular supply of food and water with me, so you won't need to worry about starvation or dehydration.

[Lyra just stares for a long moment, not..really use to adults acting like they actually cared. Well, at least not most adults that weren't weird like she was.

This guy though..]

....Okay.
