Bother. ( wariness reads as standoffishness very easily. she has no reason not to trust this stranger that's come in out of the cold, except that she rarely extends trust to anyone. lara doesn't have a smile in return, not with how uncertain she feels. there's something to be said for not running out the door and sticking around. she turns to face her rather than striding away, lingering for the conversation. )

You're probably right. ( yelling come on in the face of danger has almost always ended in near-death experience, it's by the grace of .... something, that she's still standing. ) But I don't appreciate threats or ominous warnings. Better to know what you're up against.

What would you do? Do you have a message up here?
