Naturally, Lyra had involuntarily tried to pull her foot away. It was a subtle gesture though, and she fought it, letting Solaris examine it. Did it look bad down there? She hadn't examined them herself. They stung and throbbed, but generally things only hurt the most after you got a good look at them. She didn't want to see.
When the lavender colored light surrounded her foot, she watched with incredible interest. The light, was beautiful. The warmth was comforting. When it began to tingle, she wiggled her toes. What a strange power. A very helpful one though. This man would cost very much in her world. Almost as much as the oracle. She was glad in a way, that he wasn't from her world. To live as a prisoner in a world of violence and war, was not something she could see for such a gentle man.
She watched him talking, golden eyes moving to Kurako when he was introduced. Solaris disappeared from the room, and his words lingered in her mind. This place was an escape. An escape... Could that be possible?
Kurako spoke as golden eyes found him again against the wall. He held out the fruit but Lyra saw his ears. Another strange being unlike someone from her world. There were only humans in her world, and beasts created and bred for war, mutant-like creatures with a thirst for blood. Even some humans had evolved from the hundreds of years of war and torture and experimentation that they were giant-like, mutated monstrous beings.
Lyra slid from the table and padded over, close enough to look at his ears. She looked from them, to him again. He didn't look or seem like a mutant. Her eyes jumped then to his, and then the fruit and back. She took it slowly, studying it in her hand, before watching him warily again.
