[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.]

You are... alone?

[Melan frowned, a little uneasy. That young human reminded him a little too much of Marin, with the red hair and all.]

Do you need me to bring something to you?

[imnotyours]

I have Pan.

[And she's starting to wonder if that's how it should stay since she's apparently just a pig headed brat.]

No.

I'll be fine. Don't want to be a bother to anyone.

[knightinbluearmor]

Can... "Pan" protect you from the monsters in the JunkPile?

You would never be a bother. [She was so small, so thin, how could someone like that be a bother?]

[imnotyours]

We've stood up to scarier things than monsters!

Lyra--

Hush, Pan.

[knightinbluearmor]

[Melan tilts his head on the side, utterly serious, as always.]

I don't doubt it.

But it's better to not be alone.

[imnotyours]

I ain't alone! I've got Pan and I see others sometimes! Like Ironhide and Wheeljack!

[But seeing others over feeds the majority of the time isn't the same, Lyra.]

...I'm okay..

[knightinbluearmor]

Two persons aren't enough to fend the monsters away. Are, hm... "Ironhide" and "Wheeljack" with you?

Aren't you... lonely?

[imnotyours]

No, they ain't. Sometimes they are but not right now.

I...well...no, I mean, I have Pan and I can talk to the others...
