The sound of her blood pumping rushed through her ears as Lyra seemed to just melt into the kiss. It was gentler than she expected from him and far sweeter as his hand brushed her hair behind her ear. It encouraged her as one hand simply slid up against his chest to brace herself.
She was lost in the moment that the first screams didn't even catch her attention, but Ash was the one who noticed and broke the kiss. Lyra heard the screams ten and caught sight of the emerald skull and serpent high in the air. A shudder of fear ran down her spine and Lyra froze for a moment, unable to move. The last time she had seen that symbol it had been on the arm of her uncle as he cast the charm at her mother. Only Ash's words drew her mind back tot he moment as she gave him a near terrified look before nodding. "Y-yeah." Lyra nearly jumped at his hand, but then tried to take strength and solace from Ash's calm and strength.
