[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.]

Heh. Or... means I'm just too stubborn to try and change anything.

[That's a joke. Kind of. Except it's probably true.]

Re: [Action]

[Lyra snorts, settling Pan in her lap now as he takes the form of a cat.]

Maybe. But I like you like that.

[Action]

[arnhaid]

Good to know.

'Cause I don't plan on changing any time soon.

[Oh hey, look, they're almost there.]

[Action]

[imnotyours]

Well good. 'Cause I like you the way you are.

[She says that rather matter of factly, huffing some as Pan makes an amused sound.]

[Action]

[arnhaid]

Heh.

Ain't you a flatterer.

[And into the hub... thing.. they go.] Go on and pick some stuff out.

[Action]

[imnotyours]

Only maybe.

[It's because she likes you, Ironhide.

Once they're inside, Lyra looks around a bit, nose wrinkling before she nods some.]

Alright...

[Time to see what she can find!]

[Action]

[arnhaid]

[He sets her on the ground, at that. He has absolutely no idea what he's looking for. Better she go searching, than have him blunder around trying to pick out something he's never seen before.]

I'll help you haul whatever it is you grab out of here.

Re: [Action]

[Lyra..doesn't move away from Ironhide right away, clutching Pan--now a red panda--close, peering around the place a bit.]

...This..really is okay right? I ain't a thief.

[Action]

[arnhaid]

'Course it is. We get our energon free around here. Why shouldn't organics get theirs the same?

[He shrugs, spreading his hands. It makes sense to him, anyway.]

[... Besides, if someone has a problem with this, they can blame him, not the girl.]

[Action]

[imnotyours]

...Okay.

[That's good enough for her.

She heads over to start looking through things, Pan turning into a stoat to help her out as he shifts in and out of different storage areas, the pair gathering up a nice little supply that Lyra manages to fit into the pockets of her coat before making her way back to Ironhide.]

Think I've got enough for now.

We can always come back, right?

[Action]

[arnhaid]

Good.

And yeah, don't see why not.

[He didn't really move while she was searching, leaning up against a wall and idly scanning the network. When she approaches, he puts a hand down for her again.]

Re: [Action]

[imnotyours]

[Looking pleased with that, Lyra climbs up onto his hand with Pan, glancing up at Ironhide and offering him a small grin.]

Thanks..for bringing us here.

[Action]

[arnhaid]

[And once more, he lifts her up onto his shoulder.]

You had to get your fuel somehow. Might as well take care of it myself, yeah?

Re: [Action]

[imnotyours]

[Getting settled on his shoulder, Lyra grinned and reached over to pat the side of his helm.]

Well ain't you just a sweetheart?

[Action]

[arnhaid]

Eugh, quit that.

[He is not soft he is Iron.]

[And they're on their way out now.]
