[Lara comes onscreen, and she looks tired. Tired and disheveled. Tired and disheveled with some cuts and bruises.

But mostly so, so tired. Perhaps a better word would be "beat" or "disheartened."]

... I was wrong.




About leaving, to clarify. The Initiative is ... well-protected. But to be fair I am not often wrong.

[She gives a sigh.]

... I am going to explore the area, then. See what has happened to my homeland.

Well can you think of any other time more appropriate to threaten maiming? I think it was quite tactful.

Ah, well, let's see... How about when someone's pointing a gun at you or someone you know, or threatening your life? Neither of which I've been doing, in case you haven't noticed. Threatening to shoot someone for asking a couple of harmless questions just makes you seem a little unstable.

Oh, now I am perfectly stable! I don't just go around shooting at anything like a loon. I simply calculate the best possible reasons.

[assworthsaving]

And harmless questions fall under the category for 'best possible reasons'?

[lady_adventure]

Probing questions, of course. Who knows, you could try and use any answers against me. So I can simply nip any idea of that in the bud by shooting you.

Nothing wrong with being cautious. Maybe try being a little less trigger-happy. But, hey, you advertised this information on the network. If you don't want to risk people asking questions you don't want to answer, then don't volunteer the information.

[Sure, he's just as cautious and he'll likely give bullshit answers before real ones, depending on how he feels about someone or the situation. But this girl really did like threatening people with her gun. Guns. Or seems to, at least.

Or maybe he just has that effect on people lately.]

[She gives a long and dramatic sigh.]

Most people would have stopped talking to me by now.

[That gives him slight pause. Honestly he had been caught up in making a point and not wanting her to snap and shoot up the place, if she was even capable of that. But there is a certain fieriness to her that he admires, finds intriguing. It's also nice seeing someone else from his own planet. And networking is never a bad idea; he's just picky.

Not that he is jonesing for a partner or looking for another comrade or anything.]

You overestimate just how much there is to do around here. [But last thing he was going to do was admit anything and actually compliment her, of course.] And last I checked you can just as easily end this call if you're that annoyed.
