"Lara thought archery lessons was much more adventurous."

WARNINGS - NONE

Lara breathed out and at the same time releasing the bow. It wasn't much of a practice for her, the targets were easy enough, she assumed it was set up for beginners, but at least it was something for her to do to clear her head. Ever since she had arrived, her mind raced. A part of her knew that she should try to relax, but there was this nagging feeling in her stomach, she was so used to keeping up her guard that it seemed impossible for her not to be cautious at all times. She tried to speak with different people, get a sense of what this place and this Jubilant Entity was about, but she was coming to the conclusion that others already understood...there wasn't much.

Shooting the last of her arrows, she walked over to collect, quietly thanking that there wasn't anyone else around that might accidentally hit her. At least there was an activity here that she knew well and it helped past the time. Thankfully she had some experience before the events on Yamanta, it was either this or tennis lessons and a young Lara thought archery lessons were much more adventurous. To keep up the practice, she positioned two arrows, one breath in...and release.

Lara let out a small laugh. "I don't have lasers, but I can think of a few times where that would've come in handy." Lara nodded in agreement. "I can understand that I feel the same way about my bow." The guns themselves didn't feel too unnatural to her, but she could admit that she was a little biased towards her bow.

Lara took Valkyrie's cue and shot her own arrow. On the mark, a little higher than she would have liked. She turned her head. "I have no doubt." Lara could feel herself becoming more awkward, unknowing how to make casual conversations with strangers. "You're from the same universe as Thor and Loki, right?" She wanted to say the films, but she wasn't entirely sure Valkryie would know about them. Sam had dragged her to see a couple of films before, but it had been a while. Lara didn't really make time for it, especially now that she and Sam weren't on speaking terms.

"They can be handy," she admitted with a laugh as she plucked another arrow up and nocked it before she looked over at Lara and nodded.

"I am, yes. I think close, if not the same time, as Thor but after Loki." she said after a few moments thought - she hadn't seen the films, and hadn't asked either. She did not wish to know such things, though she knew it wouldn't be long before she saw them.

It didn't bother her that much - she knew she was regarded as a legend not only by the people of Midgard, but also her own people.

"I'm sure it's nice," Lara commented. "Having someone from home. I was hoping someone I know would be here, but looks like I'm the first to arrive." She laughed softly. "Not all that surprising really, I am usually the first one to dive in first without waiting on the others." Yes, she had no control over it in this case, but it seemed fairly fitting given Lara's nature.

"It still seems a little," She paused. "Surreal to me. I'm used to strange back home, the last few years have opened my eyes more to impossible things, but I admit that sometimes I wish the universe wouldn't test it so much." Lara took another arrow but looked around instead of taking her stance. "This isn't too bad, but I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop." She shrugged. "I can't help it."
