In essence, it will be the meeting of Doctor Watson and Sherlock Holmes, but set in HDM!Verse. So, the characters will have their dæmons by their side. Here's an extract from Wikipedia on dæmons:
'One distinctive aspect of Pullman's story comes from his concept of "dæmons". In the birth-universe of the story's protagonist Lyra Belacqua, a human individual's soul manifests itself throughout life as an animal-shaped "dæmon" that always stays near its human counterpart. Witches and some humans have entered areas where dæmons cannot physically enter; after suffering horrific separation-trauma, their dæmons can then move as far away from their humans as desired.'
So, I've had to have a think of what kind of animal would represent the two character's souls. Watson strikes me as a dog, as his very nature is a loyal one. Holmes on the other hand is rather difficult, so I thought that instead of being a true human, he could be a dæmon, only in a form of a human, as a human is merely an animal with a highly developed brain. This would in turn make the atmosphere become uneasy, as in this 'verse the only humans without a dæmon would be those separated whom are barely able to function. So, what colour(s) express unease? I would say a pale green, much like they use in 'The Matrix'.
The scene itself is set in a chemical laboratory, so depending on the genre I choose could change the location and style.
