Theo looked rather pathetic standing behind Lyra, a whimperish look on his face. At least he wasn't crying. Yet. He would've clung onto her if he could. But now she had an arm around him. She was looking after him. She liked him. If he asked her, he reckoned she would be his girlfriend. And then she asked him to walk with him. He nodded, "Ok. Where do you want to go?" He smiled, rather happy that she wanted to be with him.
