As he heard the Professor's remark to Lyra he chuckled quietly and shook his head making a mental note to talk to Lyra about her acting so strangely. Feeling his arm nearly being pulled out of it's socket he sighed and nodded before saying for the first time in a slightly amused tone, "Nice to meet you, professor, and thanks for seeing us." As Lyra continued to pull on his arm he shrugged at Anna and Cale and followed her out into the corridor.
