"Dollies? They're nice." Lyra told the girl, smiling, unable to see the doll that was being held up to her face, but hearing something being brought up. She also noticed the girl smelled like...Chocolate cake? No, not Aquarius...There was chocolate cake right next to her. Had she brought it along as a snack? Then again, Lyra remembered that using sweets as a bribe had been mentioned in that phone call, so perhaps she or the man she was with had brought it for that reason? Before Aquarius could respond though, Lyra heard a skateboard coming their way (along with shouts of people that might have nearly gotten run over?) and soon there was a boy near them, saying that he was Del. 

"Hello!" Lyra said as she stood up to face where she thought he was. "Hello, Del. I'm Lyra." She told him before something quickly went by Lyra and there was a kind of bang, like someone falling back on the floor. "Uhhh..." Lyra said not sure what happened, but she heard Aquarius talk to Del so...had Aquarius tackled Del? Ugh...this was where she wished she could see in the light just so she could know what was going on.

Lyra was so distracted by her partners that she didn't notice someone else walking towards them until she spoke. "Oh! Hello, Miss Scythe! We're going on a mission together!" She told her happily, facing in the direction her voice came from. Miss Scythe had to be Lyra's favorite teacher here, as she was not only nice but also helped introduce Lyra to the world by showing (putting pictures into her mind really) and telling her about things so she wouldn't be so confused when she came to be in darkness. "Did you come to see us off or did something happen?" News didn't get to Lyra quickly around here...
