And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
All along there was some
Upon closer inspection, Lyra finds the stranger to be far too cute for the environment in which she's prancing about - and that isn't a commentary on her beautiful face, which Lyra does her best not to notice. No, the ranger is thinking instead of the fuzzy, rhinestone-studded boots that are clearly made for aesthetic and not practicality, so at odds with Lyra's own worn, rugged winter boots that she could laugh if it wasn't so ridiculous. And the puffy winter coat that is probably more air than warmth, meaning that the stranger has to be freezing, right? And the sparkling jewelry that, while pretty, makes absolutely no sense in the current situation.
But all of this pales in light of the fact that the stranger is drop-dead gorgeous - a fact that leaves Lyra very much tongue-tied, especially given that the woman appears to be livestreaming the moment.
"Early?" she asks, blinking with confusion, tilting her head to one side as the stranger laughs, brightening the entire snowy clearing as though with vibes alone. Her cheeks redden at the delighted chirp that follows, hot ranger sticking in her mind and further addling her thoughts. There's a beat where she processes what's happening and pulls herself together, and then she does her best to not make a complete fool of herself. As a ranger, she's seen - and saved - enough of these social media types to know that she doesn't want to be an idiot on camera and go viral for all the wrong reasons.
"So sorry," she says after a moment, shaking off her dazzled emotions with a bright smile of her own. "Let me go get back in the Jeep and wait a while - then I can pop back out when I'm most needed. How about that?"
