"are you two going out?"Lily asked suddenly"sorry if thats too direct but You just seem so close....like boyfriend and girlfriend." Lyra gaped at her mother for a second,turning a brilliant shade of red,so that was where Jordan got his forwardness from.
"I can keep a low profile....I'll dye my hair and stuff too."
she laughed "Ow!"he said grabbing his shin,"Apparently having ginger hair makes you more sensitive to jokes and insults..."
"Hmm...I guess so.."she said Lyra glanced at Casey,she didnt think he looked like his uncle,then again,she hadnt seen him properly,she sat down cross legged on Casey's bed
" they think Im dead."he said
"If they can be spared help them"he grinned "Imogen....pretty name for a pretty baby" "she's already got your daddy wrapped around her little finger."Lyra said smiling "Just like you and your brother did."
"I know....Its just you look an awful lot like Conni's brother."she said to Casey
"I wont need too...August probably killed most of them...not to mention himself." "We thought you were dead River....what if they arent?"
"I knew there was a god."he joked Maddie giggled "whats her name?"
"I doubt it....you look kinda familiar....you look alot like some of our family members."she said "No we dont.."she said quickly
"August caught me before I could get to his dad....and lets just say he wasnt gentle....but I think he hit a pipe of something because next thing I know the place is exploding then I wake up here."he said " He did this to you?"Mickey said River nodded
"Ooooh"Maddie gasped"she's so tiny and pretty....not like my baby dolls." "Of course not sweetie....she's real not a doll."she laughed
"Uh-huh..."Lily said,she gave Conni her ' Do you believe this? ' Look Lyra opened her letter,looking at it quickly how is it possible that we've got letters? Jordan's going to go nuts....in our time...summer just started....now he's got to go back to school
"Sorry..."he said again "I didnt mean to upset anyone." Elena sat down at the bottom of his bed"You look a mess."
"Yeah...they just stayed out side in that little sandbox thing mum's got."He said grinning "Can I see her? Can I? I proved Mickey wrong again" Lyra laughed
"No problem..."Lily said following Lyra in the room,who'd walked over to hand Casey his letter,Lily sat down on Lyra's empty bed"Soo....how come we've never seen you before in school?" Lyra glanced at Casey
he chuckled Mickey stuck his head in the door "You gave us a scare..."
"Hiya"Jordan laughed,lifting Maddie,who was trying to jump onto the bed,up
she nodded,going to the room Casey and Lyra were sharing,she knocked on the door Lyra opened it "Um..Hi."she said Lily eyed her again in her pajama's...which was too small in the chest area and leg length" You lot got hogwarts letters."
He smiled slightly as he hugged her back" Dont worry....I'll heal..."
