fandom: his dark materials
warnings: none
summary: drabblevember continues apace! remember when I thought I was going to write a whole post-series epic about lyra? hahaha, neither do I. set after the amber spyglass, but no actual spoilers as such?
The first time Lyra sits down with the other first years, an audible wave of gossip precedes her.
"My father says she was raised by bears, can you imagine-"
"How dreadful-"
"She must be perfectly savage!"
It's a near thing, but Lyra doesn't pull out anyone's hair. She frowns a bit, just to herself, Pan, she remembers, she does. The first time Lyra actually sits down with all those strangers, she looks down at her plate and then looks around, and smiles. It is not her mother's smile. It is beautiful only in its violence, but it's there.
