the wooden box was a pleasant surprise when it was uncovered, and she caught herself smiling when it arrived. there was a heavy feeling in her heart as she recalls memories of her parents, considering ringing jonah, sam, and anaya to do something to take her mind off things, since she wouldn’t see marcel for the next week. ❝ merci, ma cherie. ❞ she says fondly to herself as she has a feeling that her adventures aren’t exactly over just yet, and what else better to be on an adventure with her love, @parieur?

He had much to do this month, but didn’t mean his plannings weren’t considering her. Even if he couldn’t be present, a wooden box was sent to her manor, a major auction house’s box used to disarm any alarming the items inside could trigger… But it wasn’t their source. He had been holding on to some information for a while, now in her hands. What better gift to the legend that is Lara Croft than a new mystery to unravel.

lara was standing by the window, holding old documents in her hand, studying them. her thoughts twirled around her head as she remembers the times that she’d go out on an adventure without a consideration of others around her. she is startled when she feels the kisses on her shoulders, but she can’t help but lean into him, her hand holding his arm to keep him close to her. ❝ oh? what is this? ❞ she spots the antique book in his hand, discarding the documents in her hand, eyes lighting up as if she were a child all over again. ❝ wow, this was exactly what i wanted, thank you. ❞
she hates being fussed over when it comes to her birthday, which happened to be on valentine’s day. neither occasion passed her mind any other year. ❝ thank you, jo. ❞ she smiles as she turns around, kissing his cheek before kissing his lips, having caught the sight of the flowers in the kitchen. ❝ oh, jo. ❞ she sighs softly in admiration for him. she leaves the documents and the antique book on the table before leading him into the kitchen to spot the chocolate cake, smile evident on her features as she turns to face him again, ❝ wow. i must insist in you joining me for a slice or two. ❞
@flmed sent, scoots behind her as he peppers kisses on her shoulders, hands are intertwining on her abdomen with an antique book; there's a chocolate cake in the kitchen & flowers.

the soft gesture makes her heart warm, she looks at him through the few strands of her hair that have fallen, untidy with the events before. “ it seems that we are both still half-asleep. ” she comments, but she begins to break into a soft laughter that feels hoarse from the champagne she drank. she knows how to leave a situation like this one ⸻ but she feels as if it is the right choice to stay with someone that doesn’t know her, her dangerous perception of adventure, and how much her heart is heavy from her father’s departure from this world. “ i am enjoying you. i showed you exactly what i liked, and what you were doing to me. ” she finds herself sliding closer to him, leg over his before taking a quick glance in the room to get her bearings once more.
her phone was laying underneath her discarded dress, heels on the side of her side of the bed. “ is that offer still available? i’ll dig for you then i’ll dress up all nice and pretty for you to devour afterwards, hm? ” lara’s body usually aches after a close escape to death, bruises lasting for weeks, regular doctors appointments to make sure that nothing is internal. this was a different type of ache. it was the ache of longing. she tries not to let impulsive thoughts ruin scenarios she finds herself in, she feels relaxed that she can’t help but feel things that she has been ignoring.
her hand moves to caress his cheek, holding the gaze as she leans in to kiss him sweetly, unsure why she is being soft and gentle. her former lovers craved this type of attention from her, but instead, she pushed them away so that she found herself questioning if she’ll ever find peace within herself. she leans her head down to rest onto his chest, finding comfort from his warmth.
there's an unspoken tranquility within slumber as the man feels a gentle gaze flickers upon him; as her eyelids are fluttering, adjusting herself to his body intertwining to hers–––––almost subconsciously, as johann oft seeks a presence beside him, &. draw them closer to his; albeit dangerous for someone he barely knows &. wakes up wondering what they are for him ..it is unavoidable, as he spends most of the night alone, with endless literature lull him to sleep if he doesn't decide to get laid in the night &. johann choose to feign his rest, perpetually closing his eyes thus she could slip away without unnecessary confrontation ..
but she stirs, to depart from his embrace, &. it startles him . . . because she choose to rest, without slipping away from the mattress–––––perhaps she is doubting whether she should, or waiting for him to be awake, &. leave his own room, thus silence would avoid their awkwardness &. pretends it didn't happen?
johann decides to shifts his weight to his side, as his eyes are fluttering to see her pensive mien reasoning with her options; she seems reluctant yet nonchalant, thus a sigh follows her indecisiveness &. johann takes a clue of it–––––perhaps he should go therefore he whispers reassuringly, however she replies ardently, &. it startles him once again,
�� . . . sorry, i thought you wanted to be left alone for awhile, ❞ his hand 'neath the cover is searching for hers, as his thumb caressing the calloused wrist to pacify agitation, but she brings her hand upon his face &. johann choose to kiss inside of her palm, instinctively; it feels nice when you are wanted, for a while, even if it is a clandestine rendezvous borne by curiosity &. wariness, but johann kisses the beating pulse against her skin, for a while, ❝ i know, i can see it from your eyes, even when my eyes are closed–––––you're enjoying me. ❞

the pain was excruciating. over the years, she likes to think that she has developed a high pain tolerance, but there were weak moments that she falls into the pitiful unfortunate of pain that she fears for her life, and she is having the exact same moment as marcus attempts to stitch her wounds so she doesn’t bleed to death. breathing through her nose, she looks up at marcus who has been kind towards her, wincing from the pain and the injury. it seems that trinity wasn't going to stop.
“ i think being injured is something that comes with the consequence of being risky in the first place. ” she says through gritted teeth, groaning, not wanting to hear the lecture of needing to be more careful. if she wanted to be risk-free, then she’d be sitting at croft manor. but she is trying her best not to sound frustrated. for a brief moment, she stares at the tea he offers, wanting to rest, but she closes her eyes in defeat.
“ i hear this all the time from jonah. ” he would force her to return to england to remain there for the rest of her life. she lets out another breath, the pain is starting to ease, but she is afraid to move on the bed, but she glances at marcus at his offer of wanting to stay with her. “ if you want to. set the tea down, i need to - i need to let this pain ease first. ” her skin is soaking with sweat, dried blood, and dirt from the earth’s surface. “ can you get a wet cloth for me? ”
it was not often that marcus played 'nurse' for his allies. the agent himself had been in his fair share of battles. he was tending to @t0mbraid's wounds, taking the time to stitch her wounds up and being delicate through out the process. clearing the fresh wounds of battle, the cloth staining red. " lara, you have a unhealthy habit with running headfirst into danger. perhaps, once you've recovered - you can spar with me & i'll teach you a few things about not getting injured. "
he had a soft chuckle in his voice as he finished stitching her wounds up, as he sealed up the trauma kit. he would bring her over a traditional south east asian tea, to help detox the body of any poisons and toxins that an individual might have been subjected to in battle. " drink this lara, it should help with flushing any toxins out of your body. who knows where these weapons have been. "
marcus was loyal, kind and warm. despite being renowned for being an efficient agent, he took the time to make sure his allies were okay and still fighting fit. " would you like me to stay with you for a little while, whilst you recover of course. "

croft has little regret in her life. life was exciting even when she was not sure what it meant to her. collecting and retrieving artifacts was something she learnt from her father’s adventures, and roth’s own taste of adventure was all she ever knew. trinity still posed a danger, and she knew she was on a list of who they wanted to eliminate, but they failed time and time again, and she recently left mexico to find le chiffre. she knew not many understood why she took this path, but the thoughts of living an aristocratic life was her worst nightmare. she had the privilege of being able to do what she wanted, and worked with those who seemed to be opposed to trinity.
isla mujeres hid less secrets of the world and the underworld itself, but she had business to attend to, and that meant she had to be polite and pay. she stands in front of a man that she dislikes ⸻ but he was useful in other ways.
“ well, luckily it is not too difficult to find you. i was in the area, i was in mexico a few days ago, you see. i couldn’t resist popping by for a friendly visit before i head to my next location, and i am sure you have been busy yourself. ” a smile that is strained, her suspicion is heightening despite their agreement together. “ i haven’t got any artifacts for you, i’m afraid. i'm glad to have my items reutrned to me. ” it was a slight lie, but she took the folder from him, avoiding gaze, not wanting her bruises to arouse questions. “ the funds will be in the account in the next few hours, i’m sure you understand how busy i am. ” she tilts her head now, smiling. “ you haven’t offered me a drink. ”
V.06 ━━ A faint knock on the door [ easily recognized as Kratt's ] was the needed sign to make him leave the tedious reviewing of viability and fairness of the financial expectations behind a business agreement regarding exchanges between other branches. The tablet now replaced for a black folder that was to accompany the shipping crate that had been placed on the ship's aftdeck. He should've delegated both the review and the delivery, but part of him never could quit having control over matters that could turn personally useful at some point.
❛❛ Ms. Croft. I hope it wasn't too hard to find us here. ❜❜ It was a subtle sign of disapproval towards her tardiness offered before Le Chiffre could even fully see her. Distance was closed in a few steps, the folder being handed to her, in a movement with a second of hesitation, a reaction caused once he could fully see her face, the yellowing bruises and small healing cuts on her face being quite the statement to her reputation. Given what he heard of her, wounds should have been expected, but somehow pistol whipping a woman of roughly 5'6" seemed excessive. [ or at least that was what he assumed at the shape of some of the bruises ]
The surprise was set aside without any comments. ❛❛ We managed to make provenance papers, and receipts for all 'paid' tax for the artifacts you required. Their values were appraised and added to the inventory... But I am sure you have your own takes on that, was merely a formality. ❜❜ A calculated smile followed the statement. ❛❛ Other than this box, there is a container waiting for you in Tillbury. You can see it moved to your property once you settle our fees next week. ❜❜
Source ━━ @t0mbraid : [ COLLECT ]: sender shows up at the receiver's house to collect something that the receiver has either purchased for them or borrowed from them.

she is upset with herself that was off the mark this time ‘round. a strategic eye and logical mindset was something she was proud of but she had let it slip, but she doesn’t want anyone to know that pedro dominguez had the upper hand — she barely got a chance to fight back with the excruciating pain from the surprise attack, the bullet in her arm as she bandages the wound with quick haste. worst of all, being in the unfortunate company of chiffre was something unplanned as she drops the scissors onto the white fluffy carpet, tainting it with blood as she presses pressure on the wound with her hand, biting on her lower lip — she’s dealt with much worse. she can handle this.
" you're getting blood on the carpet. "
croft almost groans at the remark, his words stinging, sparking an anger she didn't recognise. “ for someone that only has one eye, you have the most remarkable sight. ” she can’t help herself when she turns to look at @parieur, a scowl evident on her features as she cuts the bandage with a shaky hand, “ i was off my game. how stupid of me … “ she mutters, noticing her hand is now covered in blood, and it begins to trickle down her shirt as she nurses her arm, and unfortunately, on the carpet. “ i need to find out how he knew i was here. ”
