While the first part of the journey, immediately outside of Skyhold, had still been chilly, Lara didn't regret her decision to leave her armor. Thedas' desert was proving to be very much like deserts back on earth, and she didn't miss the fur or plate any as the sun beat down them. Her street clotheswere still a bit much during the highest, hottest, points of the day, but the long-sleeves were enough to get through the cooler night.
Rolling them up now, she dropped to rest for a moment in the slight at the backside of one of the tents. Unclipping her canteen from her belt, she allowed herself one, deep, drink, then splurged. Dumping a small mouthful into the palm of one hand, she splashed the back of her neck with a soft sigh of pleasure.
"That's the ticket..."
When Quillbacks Attack:
Thedas was home to a host of strange beasts. This was not news to Lara. But when they seemingly came from nowhere, appearing suddenly behind you as you stopped to tie your boot, they were still surprising.
She'd heard the shift of sand as she'd looped her laces... had glanced back... and with a jump and a curse she was scrambling back up the ladder that had led her down to the small water-laden valley.
The prickly beast circled below, making a chittering-clicking noise as Lara leaned and peered down at it. She crouched on the platform, shifting her bow to keep it at hand, but she didn't immediately attack, watching it instead with wide, fascinated eyes.
Lara Croft, OTA
