[Hey, kid, did you get that note? Someone may have passed it to you between classes or during mealtime or told you about it directly, in hushed tones like it should be a secret. The information was simple: some kids thought it might be a good idea to form an alliance, to keep other kids from having to get dragged into any actual fighting. There were also directions, to a shaded simple wooden pavilion in the woods.

A huge blanket has been laid down over the floor of the pavilion, not unlike a picnic blanket. Lyra brought along snacks; cans of soda and other treats. At one corner of the blanket are pieces of paper held down by a rock, along with pencils and pens, in case they needed to take notes or record anything.]

EAVESDROPPERS, WHAT YOU DOING HERE :|

[Leaning against a tree, out of sight but within earshot, listening curiously to the proceedings.

Sherlock is generally unobtrusive, but his current combination of cherry-red hair and greenish-blue skin is not helping with that, and he's hardly making an effort to conceal himself. Anyone who wanders away from the pavilion has a good chance of spotting him.]

[And guess who went out for a little walk and spotted him!]

Hey, you!

[bitofafiction]

[He opens his eyes and looks at her.] Good afternoon, miss.

[loyal_liar]

What're you doing here? We're having a meeting.

[bitofafiction]

I thought it would be impolite to join uninvited.

[loyal_liar]

But sneaking around and eavesdropping would be the height of etiquette?

[bitofafiction]

Of course.

[ El is standing against one of the trees close to the pavilion, a book in one hand. And though his eyes are trained on the pages, speed-reading through the text, his ears nevertheless are listening in on the conversation wafting towards him.

The pavilions were one of the places of solace, even in the old Utopia, both for him and for "Karin". And thus it's not surprising that he often goes there during his breaks to study or think about his next move. What was surprising however is the meeting taking place in one of those pavilions, seemingly headed by the young girl he met at the dorm.

He smiles, turning the page of his book. It seems they're taking the easy way out of this game. ]

[After finishing up her Serious Speech, Lyra spots him.]

H-hey you!

[persuades]

[ He looks up from his book to smile at her. ]

Is your meeting over?

[loyal_liar]

No! But you shouldn't be here!
