Lyra reluctantly pulled herself away from the cold window, and ran to her room, wipping tears off of her face and closing the door. Overhead lighting, bleak and uncompromising shone down into the small room like a prison guard's searchlight, picking out every speck of dust, every mark on the cheap carpet, every smudged fingureprint on the window sill. It was a room which, Lyra suspected, had been used for many purposes; the ghosts of it's former occupants clung to it like cobwebs. Lyra suppresed the erge to cry again, and threw herself on the soft, comfortable bed, and hid herself under the sheets. The warmth and softness of it would be welcomed usually, but she found it hard to find conforting.
She sighed, and reluctantly pulled herself out from under the silk sheets, and got to her feet, whipping the last of her tears away. Her eyes were red and swore, but she remembered what her brother had told her, and the little training that she would have to force herself to do. Lyra opened a rather large draw in one of the many chester draws, searching for the plainest clothing items that she could find, which was hard since they were capitol clothes. She put on a long sleved, bright blue velvet shirt that matched her eyes, and a pair of long black pants. She combed her long, beautiful wavey blond hair, then tied it back into a pony tail that hung half way down her back. She quietly opened the door and creaped down the hall way, putting one of her cold hands to the train wall, sliding it along as she moved closer and closer to the scent of food.
