lonesome I came

'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Everything you lose is a step you take

Of all the answers Lyra might expect, reindeer is not one of them, and her eyes light with a striking curiosity as a result. Perhaps she’d thought that one’s favorite shift might be something flashier, or something more powerful - but isn’t there a quiet sort of power in the kind of trust that Noah speaks of? Isn’t it something that she understands in spades, given her occupation and her close ties with the land she works in - and often feels that she works with? ”I could understand that,” she replies, voice soft but resolute.

She tilts her chin up to gaze at the stars, their light shining down and turning brilliant blue eyes to silver. Out here, with no one around save a near perfect stranger and a sea of starlight in every direction, it feels as though she can make a difference, no matter how small. ”Exactly,” she says, the curve of her lips lifting into a smile. ”I think sometimes we can get so caught up in being perfect that we forget how important it is just to be there, you know?”

So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it
You've got no reason to be afraid
