[Given what had happened to Wheeljack, Lyra just wasn't all that inclined to stick around Haven. She needed to get her mind off things and exploring was one way to do that. So she'd pack up some food and her alethiometer and headed out in the middle of the night, not really caring to inform anyone of what she was doing.
She could take care of herself. She didn't need anyone looking out for her anymore.
Her daemon, on the other hand, knew otherwise and was trying to find a good way to alert others to what was going on and his chance came when they took a break from their wanderings, the little girl having made it to the far edge of Haven near the end of Liege's quadrant.
Setting down her bag with the alethiometer, Lyra plopped down and started to dig out some food, giving Pan a chance to 'help' her and dig out her comm unit at the same time. The little ferret promptly sat down on the comm unit as Lyra started to eat, turning it on though he was blocking the view of the camera for now.]
Lyra, how much further are we going?
Dunno. Going to see how far it all goes. There has to be a way to get home. Ain't no one gone far enough is all.
It..but it could be dangerous couldn't it? Lyra, I think we should go back!
No. I ain't going back there, Pan.
But what if Wheeljack wakes--
Shut up, Pan! Just..shut up! Please..
[Lyra can't even bring herself to look at her daemon as she says it though, and Pan finally slinks off the comm unit to crawl into her lap as a cat, tail flicking a bit as he nuzzles against her.]
