The Woman Called Lara (Pt 1)

I felt uncomfortable seeing the remnants of Larry's corpse, so I sent the entire thing into [Subspace]. This made me, once again, grateful for my Gift's upgrade.

'Whew! I'm happy I don't need to touch things like that!' My mind rang happily.

I caught Lara observing my actions with a degree of interest in her eyes. She was curious about the true nature of my Gift, no doubt.

Well, there were a few things about her that I was curious about as well. It was good that she had also developed— or rather, reciprocated the interest I showed.

"Are you hungry?"

My question caused her to look at me in puzzlement. After what seemed like a few seconds of consideration she nodded, yes.

She was honest—good.
