[The line casts and shimmers along the surface of the water. Lyra doesn’t seem to mind if the golem uses magic to draw up more attention — she’s interested in seeing what will bite, and what won’t.

[Should Oren reel it in, he will indeed have a fish on the line. But as it wiggles on the hook, one can see that it’s no ordinary fish — it is, in fact, a little mechanical one, made of intricate gold-plated metal, and scales of an alien, iridescent stone.
It isn’t alive, technically, but it sure acts like it is.]
Well, you did catch a fish after all. I’m not sure what that one is… but then again, I can’t keep up with everything in the pond. It’s probably worth something.
