Lara chuckled. "And so modest, too." Nonetheless, she grinned back. "I must thank you for the lift, however. It would have taken us quite a while walking, wouldn't it?"

Lara checked her guns again (habit, naturally; there were many ways to die and Lara didn't want her own to be brought about by a malfunctioning weapon) and grinned again. "Absolutely, Sonic."

It already looked like she was finding the adventure she had always been driven to seek, yet again.
