It took a lot of deep breaths and telling herself that she was fine and that things would go back to normal soon and that even if they didn't it was a big deal before Lyra had finally managed to calm down. When she did the shadows all around stopped twitching and went back to normal too. Right about this time, Lyra noticed the smell of cigarettes and felt someone sit down next to her. She recognized the voice as Jeff's.

Lyra brought her face up from her hands, still keeping her eyes closed, and gave Jeff a small smile, "Ah, well, it's not exactly been a great morning for me, but I'm pretty sure it can go up from here." She told him, hoping that last bit was true. "Anyways, how are you?" She asked as she took another sip of her coffee, hoping to distract herself from all that had been happening by talking with Jeff until it was time for class to start.
