As Lyra waits for the door to open, she watches the rain fall, listens to the pitter-patter of the droplets on the roof of the porch. It's all freezing, of course, which puzzles her. She's never seen such a strange phenomenon as freezing rain, not in Torchline, where the most rain they get comes from the occasional hurricane. Of course, she's never seen as much ice and snow as there is in Halo, either, but isn't that why she's come? To learn more about this strange land to the north, so that she might master it in her quest to help all of Caido?
The door opens, revealing Noah, and Lyra's heart warms as a smile leaps unbidden to her lips. "Hi, Noah," she says, wasting no time in stepping into the comfortable warmth of the lodge. "Thank you," she adds as she looks around. Noah's home is comfortable, immediately giving Lyra a sense of the man at her back. She doesn't let her gaze linger too long on her surroundings though, instead turning to gaze up at Noah's face.
"I came up to help with a search and rescue mission with Deimos," she told him. "I'm pleased to report we found all four hunters alive, and I'm told they're mending well." She lifted her hand to indicate the ring on her pointer finger. "Safrin's gifts have already proven useful - oh! That reminds me - she attuned me!" Lyra added proudly, grinning. "I only have one shift so far, but it was so helpful with finding those hunters -" And she might have continued on, but seemed to realize she was talking too much. "But, anyway, that's why I'm up here. And since I was in the area, I thought I'd take a chance and try to see you."
