A first-year student at St Sophia's College, Oxford (studying Rhetoric, with a special in Alethiometry), can get away from the dons and the Scholars and the other undergraduates whenever she wants, especially if she knows every corner and alley in Oxford. If she also knows of the existence of a certain door suspended on the fence of the Botanical Gardens, she can sneak away to Milliways at any time she likes.
Lyra Silvertongue (accompanied, of course, by her daemon Pantalaimon) has been to Milliways in the recent months. Usually she came, found Will Parry, and hurried with him to one Oxford or the other before they could speak to anyone here.
Today, Lyra and Pantalaimon have decided to be social. They're sitting at a table in the center of the room. Lyra's turning pages in one of her textbooks. She has a cup of chocolatl, although she isn't drinking it; instead, Pan is perched beside the cup, warming himself in the steam.
