Full offence, but couldn’t Will and Lyra have used a fucking lodestone resonator to communicate with each other after the windows were closed!!!!???

The spy captain was called Lord Roke. He was striking to look at: he was no taller than Lord Asriel’s hand span, and as slender as a dragonfly, but the rest of Lord Asriel’s captains treated him with profound respect, for he was armed with a poisonous sting in the spurs on his heels.

It was his custom to sit on the table, and his manner to repel anything but the greatest courtesy with a haughty and malevolent tongue. He and his kind, the Gallivespians, had few of the qualities of good spies except, of course, their exceptional smallness: they were so proud and touchy that they would never have remained inconspicuous if they had been of Lord Asriel’s size.

I wish we had more information about the daemons of other species that encountered Dust (such as the Gallivespians or the Mulefa). Perhaps the seed-pods were the equivalent of a daemon in the case of the Mulefa, but what about the others? Does Gallivespians have small animals as daemons, or something totally different?

I did it again. Stop me. 

Cool Gallivespians !
