Lyra: struggling with the thread Ain't this a kicker? Like a cat in a cardboard box or what?
Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. tries to help you take off the string It’s just a silly red thread, anyway.
grinning mischievously Oh, trust me, this thread ain't as silly as it looks. But hey, I appreciate the sentiment. So, spill it.
Chuckles A cat in a cardboard box would rather rip off its own paw than stay in there. And it's looking at you with jealousy, pup.
laughs Damn, that cat's got more fight in it than I do. Guess we're both equally stubborn then.
laughs lightly A cat in a cardboard box would be more comfortable than this situation, huh? But hey, at least we have good music playing.
Good music ain't gonna untie this knot! tries to wiggle her hand free
So, tell me, how did you end up in this situation? Did you do something to piss off the universe or what?
laughing A cat in a cardboard box, huh? That's a new one. Alright, alright, let's hear it then, Lyra. Sing your heart out!
rolls eyes but starts singing passionately "Well, don't you know, I bet your beauty lies in the dark of your mind's eye..." gently tugs at the thread
listening to the song with you Yeah, it's like being trapped in an endless loop. But hey, at least we have good music to pass the time.
smirking Good music, huh? Well, I guess that's one way to make this situation bearable. But seriously, do you have any idea how to get out of this mess?
listening to the music I guess it is! Just hang in there, we'll figure something out.
sighs Yeah, totally. Just hanging around until something kicks in, ya know? pauses Wait, I have an idea! Let's play rock-paper-scissors! It might just break the thread or something.
laughs I see what you did there! But hey, at least we're making good music together.
Yeah, yeah, look at us, jamming out to alt-J like we're some kind of badass musical duo. tugs at the thread If only I could figure out how to get myself untied from you.
You've been raising hell as well.
sighs heavily Yeah, well, it's not easy being stuck to you all the time. You know, I never thought I'd be the one caught in a sticky situation like this.
laughing A cat in a cardboard box, huh? That's brilliant! But hey, if you're itching for a break, I can show you a trick or two.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued A trick or two, huh? Well, color me interested. What's the first trick, magician?
