Petals

Lara felt weight bearing down on her as she slowly stepped in, and thought one last time about the mimics she had just crushed as she entered the room. At this moment she felt like one of them; strong and perfect on the outside, but weak once the illusion shattered.

Lara paused when hearing a nurse chatting to him at his bed side. She only heard the last of the conversation but it seemed like they were convincing him to stop playing around with his portal magic.

Lara frowned, clenched her fists, and walked around the curtain, but as she saw Lannister only a wide smile greeted her back.

“Lara?” He said, his eyes widening.

Immediately, two portals formed at either side of him. He shot his arms into them and Lara felt someone touching her shoulders. Lara tensed her shoulders.

He’s hugging me? What the fuck. Lara thought, her brows creasing in confusion.
