She closed her eyes and leaned her head back, wishing they could just get going already. It felt stupid to come down to London just to head all the way back up to Scotland again, but at least she'd see her friends... probably... if they turned up... though to be honest it was probably her fault for not looking for them. But she still had gifts to give them from her travels. Eh, oh well. Derry's eyes snapped open when she heard the door go and she crunched the rest of her lollipop. Oh... "Hey, Caleb." she said, smiling a little at the boy. "Yeah, sure, sit down, it's fine." She sat up a bit so she wasn't spread out over three seats - thank you lanky legs - and chucked her bag on the floor. "You alright?"
