Lyra Belacqua | His Dark Materials | ota

[imnotyours]

[A runaway that's been managing pretty well on her own. She's naturally a good sneak and is good at keeping out of sight and mind as it is so staying quiet has been easy for her. (Most of the time. Sometimes she has to stuff her fist in her mouth to stop from yelling.) She's resourceful and doesn't hesitate to sneak into any house she comes across, snooping around for food before moving on to the next place. Sticks close to suburb areas and does her best to avoid dense city areas just because there's more chances of tripping on something or getting trapped. Also has a pet mouse.]

Alright, lets try this.

The small shopping center was silent. Fushimi would move back into the suburban area in short order but he needed supplies.

On his feet were carefully crafted shoes of soft leather and rubber. They were efficient enough for him to move silently and safely through the rubble of the center without causing himself an injury. He just needed fresh clothing. And there were vending machines that were broken as well. If he could manage to grab something sweet he would be quite content.

He creeps silently into one of the buildings, an electronics store. This had potential as well. He had a few ideas and he needed wiring for it. He sets his bag down as he carefully removes items from the shelves, using his jacket to muffle the sound of opening plastic cases.

The last thing Lyra wanted to do was go to the shopping center but she hadn't been getting as long as usual. Food was scarce and she didn't like interacting with other people--especially families because they would ask where her parents were--so here she was.

Unlike Fushimi she was barefoot, clearly not worried about injury as she scampered up some rubble and carefully slid down the other side. The bag on her back was pulled tight so it didn't move against her at all, a bat sticking out of it, just in case she needed it, though otherwise it was empty. The vending machines were her first destination, the little girl carefully grabbing a few things that would make the least amount of noise possible.

Movement out of the corner of her eye had her looking towards the electronics store, Lyra frowning slightly. There it was again. Faint, but there. Curiosity was her worst enemy and the little girl crept over, slinking inside to see who it was and what they were up to.

Fushimi laid the wires out carefully to count them. He organized them carefully by length and colors, with ideas floating in his head. He could think of a few possible uses for them, he would just need to be very careful. He begins packing them away before a small movement reflected on his glasses caught his eye.

He turns around slowly, muscles locked in tension because if it was a creature he would need to stay absolutely still and hope it didn't come close enough to actually contact his body before he could get away from it.

To his immense relief, it was just a girl. He gives a short wave before turning back to his organization. She clearly knew how to be quiet and that was the only part he cared about.

It was a guy. Counting wires?

Lyra can't help but want to know what he's doing though she does stop when he turns, noting the way he's tensed up. She tenses as well, prepared to flee if she has to but thankfully he relaxes quick enough.

She takes that as a sign that she can come closer, the girl easing around to get a better look at the wires and anything else he might have.

What are you doing?
