Natticulus…..

Princess Dana: You are upset.

Lara: [pouting] I am not.

Princess Dana: You are.

Lara: I am not.

Princess Dana: Why do you advert my gaze?

Lara: [turning around to face her] There will this finally silence the tongue?

Princess Dana: [smiling]

Lara: Why smile when I am upset?

Princess Dana: Moments ago you stated you were not.

Lara: [frustrated she attempts to stand to her feet] Ughhhhhhh, how you aggravate me so!

Princess Dana: [grabbing her arm she gently pulls her back down]

Lara: Release arm?

Princes Dana: [still smiling] No.

Lara: Dana I do not have time for such childish games!

Princess Dana: Games? I know nothing of the sort.

Lara: I have no words for you.

Princess Dana: The Gods have answered prayers bestowing upon me a woman with silent tongue.

Lara: [fed up with her jesting] Kiss fucking ass!

Princess Dana: [turning her head towards her then pressing her lips against hers]

Lara: [used to her manipulative ways pulls away] No, I will not fall under your spell I am upset and plan to remain so!

Princess Dana: [letting out a confused sigh] Either you are upset or you are not?

Lara: Do not place words into mouth!

Princess Dana: I am not just trying to understand!

Lara: [knowing she wasn’t making any sense] What would you have me to do?

Princess Dana: [now smiling with a devilish grin] Allow me to take you to bed.

Lara: Is everything a fucking jest!?

Princess Dana: [laughing] Yes.

Lara: [completely fed up she stands to her feet embracing the cold breeze upon her face heads towards the castle]

Princess Dana: [realizing she took her jesting to far chases after her] Lara!?

Lara: [ignoring her she continues onward]

Princess Dana: [catching up to her grabs her by the wrist spins her around forcing her to look at her] When all this comes to an end I will take you as my wife.

Lara: How can you be so reassuring when you made choice to place life at risk?

Princess Dana: Is this reason for sour mood?

Lara: Your life can be stilled does that not concern you!?

Princess Dana: It can be stilled in battle or in sleep.

Lara: [not impressed with her sarcastic response] You understand meaning.

Princess Dana: Every living thing from the tiniest of creatures to us who await atop the food chain are all at risk for extinction if Jennicus is not stopped.

Lara: I know this.

Princess Dana: [raising her voice] Then why insist on giving me a hard time?

Lara: Many soldiers depart their home never to return!

Princess Dana: Is that what gives you concern whether or not I will return to your loving arms?

Lara: [stares at her longingly]

Princess Dana: [in a sincere tone] Please break words.

Lara: I thought I lost you once I was barely able to——-.

Princess Dana: [cutting her off] That was me proving a point to my mother and does not count.

Lara: A point that almost stilled your life!

Princess Dana: [stepping away from her she knew her all too well before now Lara never gave her grief about being a soldier there was something else going on she was not sharing] Give reason for sour mood?

Lara: Have you not granted an open ear?

Princess Dana: I have that is all I have given yet I still fail to understand!

Lara: [yelling] Do you not see how things have changed!

Princess Dana: Yes, but in order to defeat evil I must—–.

Lara: [cutting her off] A child grows in my womb!

Princess Dana: [stares at her in complete shock]

Lara: Do not just stare speak.

Princess Dana: [she could see her lips moving but heard no sound]

Lara: [returning her stare she awaited in agony for what felt like an eternity for her to respond]

Princess Dana: [remained stunned in disbelief]

Lara: [in a hurtful tone with tears wielding in her eyes] Your silence I take as both a rejection of me and our unborn child [she says before walking away however, this time Dana did not follow]
