Lyra turned her head quickly away from the window at the sound of a knock. Light golden eyes found Solaris. She frowned. It wasn't an angry frown, more of a curious, wary one. He wanted to know if she was okay. Honestly, she was fine, if she thought about it. Incredibly anxious, stressed, scared... but not hurt or anything.
She stayed there, by the window, watching him talk. It wasn't until he left the room that she moved to the door, bare feet padding softly against the floor. She peeked out around the corner to see Solaris walking away. It was so strange. All those things she'd seen, yet Solaris didn't seem bad. Just the things she saw of their future when she touched him. Well, she wouldn't have seen those things if he didn't have something to do with it.
But, was it possible, that that was because he was going to help them? It was a foreign concept to Lyra. Someone who helped others. Someone who didn't want to hurt at least some large group of people for various reasons; usually power. And what was brewing? What sense did that make? The cloud? Was he talking about the cloud? So he would stop bad things from happening, and then they could all leave?
Lyra couldn't understand it. Why had any of them been brought here anyway? Now they couldn't leave until Solairs stopped something? She frowned again. It didn't add up, and that meant Lyra didn't trust it. All the while she was standing there in the doorway, lost in thought.
