Rubbing at her arms as she trudged through the snow, Lyra glanced over at Pan, the daemon having taken on the form of a lynx in order to keep up with her--and to keep warm.
"I know that, Pan. I ain't stupid!" she shot back, angry because she was cold and hungry and had no idea where they were going. They had jumped through the window and arrived in this place, colder than the arctic they had left behind and completely unfamiliar to the both of them. Lyra had immediately been distrustful of the odd device she'd found herself with, tucking it away with her alethiometer for the time being until she could figure out what it was.
The daemon hunkered down slightly before he pushed forward through the snow, getting out in front of her to lead the way and use his keener eyesight to their advantage.
"I see something up ahead! Lyra, I think it's a cabin!" Pan called out after several long minutes of trudging along and the little girl let out a relieved sound.
"I'll follow you, Pan darling," she said through chattering teeth and the pair made their way to the cabin, the daemon coming back to nudge Lyra along when she started to lag behind, getting her safety to the cabin and inside. Warmth rushed over them both and Pan shifted into a fluffy orange cat, eyes narrowed as he purred contently.
"Much better," he murmured, rubbing against Lyra's ankles. The girl immediately scooped him up and hugged him close, pressing a kiss to his nose.
