Lyra followed behind Anna to the staff table. Both wanted to see Professor Shackleton but she also wanted to see Vindictus as well. The meeting on the streets was one that she would never forget and one that would make Christian proud when she finally told him. She hurried to the table and noticed Mr. Groundskeeper as well that she met at the Leaky...if that was the correct place. Too many new people in a short amount of time.

"May I have your autograph, Mr. Vindictus," Lyra snickered as came closer to where he was. What a great way to start a conversation! It was either that or she would ask if he had any pudding today.
