to james, ❝ do you have an appointment? ❞ from lara <3
❛ can't say i do, miss croft. ❜ he responds with cocky confidence, the scar across his cheek creasing from the polite smile accompanying his answer. james hadn't heard much about the tomb raider until mi6 promptly briefed him, exposing him fully to her feats. the relationship between his organisation & lara croft wasn't mutually sound. she was never one to accept their involvement in matters nor were they privy to being entirely open with her. this time, they felt confident that 007 would be able to mend their trust. thus, he stands before lara in her own office, eyes steadfast & smile lingering. ❛ i've been sent on behalf of mi6, ma'am. they'd like your consultation on certain matters, if that's alright? ❜ a beat, offering one hand for her to shake. ❛ the name's bond. james bond. ❜
