Re-surfacing Lara slowly wades over towards the small streamlet of falling water on the other side of the pool and the only disturbance to the otherwise completely calm surface of the water. Lara smirks as she thinks of how pitiful the 'waterfall' is.
By rights it really could be called a waterfall... but then to even compare it to that huge mother of a thing on the other side of the forest would simply be insulting... oh well it is just right when you're in need of a shower
Thankful for this little comfy spring setup that she stumbled across a few weeks ago, Lara lets the cool water soothe her aching muscles after her strenuous workout earlier that morning hoping to keep her mind busy.
It wasn't that Lara didn't enjoy times like these; enjoying Hyrcania and it's peaceful life. Larissa was rather starting to enjoy the simple life, taking a break from being adventurous... not that living in Hyrcania was adventure free. She grins at the memory of the tribe's last big party at the Turbulant Tavern...
Uh huh... now that was definately... interesting... among other things
... It was just that times like these were the perfect opportunity for her to do some thinking... and that was exactly what she didnt want to be doing. Memories started to rise in her: of seeing Connor again after thinking he was dead for so long...refusing his marriage proposal... his hurt and yet understanding expression... having to leave him once again.
Lara moves out from under the spray and wades out to float on her back in the centre of the pool.
Why did i leave him?... It's not that I don't love him... but there must be something that stopped me or else we'd be married right now... i just have to find what it is, i just don't want to hurt him any longer
Lara sighs and shakes her head hoping to clear it. She is supposed to be enjoying this time to herself and not waste time trying to work out the riddle that is her life at the moment... no doubt one of her sisters could stumble upon her little getaway at any time, not that she wouldn't honestly be thankful for that distraction.
