This is Where We Build

*In anticipation of her teacher's arrival, the room that housed the world's only...well, they called it a "putus," had been outfitted with and extra, more comfortable chair and tray with a teapot, two cups, and some biscuits. Lyra waited anxiously in her normal chair in front of the metal, glass, and wood machine. She had turned it off. Should she turn it on? Should she take it apart a little? She knocked her legs against the chair's, as Pan circled around.

She hoped Duo would arrive in the room. Mai had, before, but what if this worldhopper left him in a different part of Jordan?

She twisted her mouth and kicked harder at the chair.*
