While the females started talking about boring things Lyra slid down from Are's lap and headed out the door carrying her bunny in one arm and the tart in the other hand. Munching happily, and getting crumbs on her face, she wandered the halls of the Summer palace. Ba-Ba wasn't back yet. She missed him really badly.
Maybe she should go and find him?
But he had said to stay here until he came back...
But he wasn't back yet...

Maybe he had meant stay near the palace. She'd just looked around outside a little bit. She wouldn't go far.
Slipping past the guard wasn't easy but she was a determined and clever little girl so she made it. The trees rustled in the breeze. The Dryads regarded her with watchful eyes. The pet of the King was wandering without her keeper.
[color=f49ac2]"Ba-Ba!"[/color] she called. [color=f49ac2]"Ba-Ba!"[/color]
She wasn't afraid. Why would she be? The child had never had to be afraid of the surrounding forest before. But they did seem quite a bit bigger without someone there with her...

[color=f49ac2]"Ba-Ba...?"[/color] she called, her voice now carrying a nervous and unsure tone. Maybe if she just went a little farther...
Her bunny seemed to sense something because he leapt from her arms and took off.
[color=f49ac2]"Wait!"[/color] she cried, running after him without realizing how far she was getting from the palace. [color=f49ac2]"Wait! Come ba-!"[/color] Lyra's call turned into a cry as she tripped through some brush and rolled down a hill. She squealed loudly as she tumbled into a small ravine. Landing at the bottom, Lyra laid still for a moment in a daze. She tried to stand and cried out, holding her knee. There were several cuts and a large bruise on her knee and her leg hurt. Sitting in the brush, Lyra held her knee and cried. She wanted Ba-Ba! She wanted Are! She wanted someone!
