"Hmm. I'm not sure." Lyra looked at her surroundings, her eyes involuntary darting all over the place. There was the beautifully-built central building, but she had an odd feeling that she'd rather be outside than wandering in there again. Behind them, the hill sloped down and you could see the city sprawling underneath. It'll be quite a distance if they want to go there. 

A thought occured very suddenly to her. Wind elementalist can generally fly, right? 

[i]Well, yes. But I don't think you should be doing that now,[/i] she could imagine her mentor from back then saying it. [i]Who was it in your family who's a physicist? Your grandmother? She must've told you about how plane works, right? It's not something you can grasp in a day.[/i] But imagine if she could fly right now. Jumping off this ledge (and landing safely) would be the fastest way to town.

There was a little sound, a little tune, coming from her violin. The moment she noticed, it stopped.

"Ah, sorry if I space out there," Lyra said, remembering her new friend. Vera was waiting for her. "I was thinking of, hmm, flying. I wonder if-"

Lyra's eyes opened wide, as they caught someone up in the sky. Some[i]one[/i]. Definitely a person, a teacher perhaps, hovering quite a way up in the sky. "Ah!" she gasped. "Who do you think that is?"
