Kallen's gone ... it seems no one stays for long in this place, do they?

Comments

[lyra_of_dust]

No... It's part of what makes this place annoying, sometimes.

[geassed]

So true.

[lyra_of_dust]

Well... She's probably home again, right? So everyone ought to be happy for her!

[geassed]

Such an optimistic way of looking at things. How very admirable.

[lyra_of_dust]

Well... Just being sad doesn't change anything, it just makes you feel miserable, right?

[geassed]

Yes, but it's not as though one can prevent sadness.

[lyra_of_dust]

No... Sadness en't something that can be avoided, but you can't just stew in it. You got to do something, or it's all for nothing.

[geassed]

...Such words of wisdom from a girl as young as you, don't you think?

[lyra_of_dust]

You en't the first to say that. And I en't that young... I've just been through a lot.

[geassed]

So it seems.

[lyra_of_dust]

Yeah. It's not like it's unusual here, it seems like... Actually it's easier to act my age here. I en't in constant danger or on some kind of mission I don't fully understand when I'm here, after all.

[geassed]

Does it bore you, to be without that excitement in your life?

[lyra_of_dust]

A little... Especially since Neuro's not around to drag me into being a detective right now, and I don't think anyone here's from my world, or Lord Asriel's army. But I can make my own excitement, and it's better because it's not as dangerous... Sometimes it's nice to be bored, though if Pan's... Nevermind.

[geassed]

Pan?

[lyra_of_dust]

My daemon. He's... A part of me, although some of his senses are sharper than mine.

[geassed]

And what, precisely, is a daemon?
