Rain looks down, avoiding Neil's eyes. "Sorry. I didn't know what it would have in it. I know that isn't a very good excuse." Open when you miss me, what the hell did that even mean. She could hardly wrap her head around what he meant by that. But it seems like he thought that maybe she would miss him earlier. And why her? Why not Neil? Why not Shade who could of used the advice more? At least, the letter was useful. Reassuring. At this point, she was beginning to think that the man had two personalities.

"I promise if I get any future messages, I will let you know."

She does a quick sweep across the site for anything before they are about to head off. The only thing around is the small black cat that Shade carried around. Poor thing must have been terribly frightened with everything happening around it. She gets off Lalo and walks toward the cat, picking it up and cradling it in her arms. Speaking softly to it, "I doubt you know where your master went... It is alright. We will find him soon."

She turns back to Neil after he addresses Lara's ability to travel in her state. "Lara, if you find it difficult to walk, you can ride Sendoa. He rides better than any horse."

Lalo seems insulted for a brief second. "Don't compare me to those stupid creatures. Better than a horse... of course, I am better than horse." He then bows for Lara so she could ride him if she chose. "If you are injured, my lady, I will trot slow."
