"Sure is." He ain't gonna talk about if you keep following the beach how there's monsters. Nah, why kill the friggin' mood? There's no way he's bringing her back that way anyhow, so no need to mention it.

This is cool, though. the whole time he was here with Lara, he kept thinkin' she was looking for just the right opportunity to make a getaway. It wasn't that she didn't want to be here with him, he thinks, as much as she just didn't want to be with anyone. Like she was lookin' for some new world to escape to, somewhere she could blend in and cause a little trouble and more than anyone, he's got a real fine appreciation for causing trouble. But Charlie... shit. She's just happy to be here.

That's cool.

"If I'd known we were gonna stop here, I would have told you to bring swim gear." For Charlie, he might even have gone in the friggin' water, so long as no storms were approaching. Something about water and electricity not mixing real well, and he'd rather not get fried -- or fry anyone else -- in front of her. In fact, he'd just as soon leave all the magic crap out of it 'cause face it, crap is what it is.
