‘I’m making Eckhardt my personal project. I owe him some harm.’
‘Heavy? Yeah I like heavy. Heavy works real good for me.
‘It’s a while since I’ve been called Heissturm. That’s a whole truck load of memories I don’t visit very often.’
‘I’ll be calling on the Prague Alchemist. There’s a tally to pay. A heavy one.’
‘Yeah, the Legion. Well, the name kinda stuck, Chasseur de Démon.
It works ok I guess. Dark just seems to follow me about.’
‘Mottoes? How about: Be informed. Go armed. Act mean. That do ya?’
‘Lara, oh boy. That’s one feisty lady, ain’t she!
If ever she asked me to bring her something nice I don’t know whether she means an alligator head or a tray of Michel Cluizel chocolates.’
‘Miss Croft? We bump into each other from time to time. I hear there’s some kind of event for her this year. That so? Hm. Well, I’m sure she’ll take that in her stride, ha ha!’"

About some not-so-bright baddy:
‘He sure isn’t an Oxford First.’
KURTIS - ‘Don’t go over-thinking this now. We don’t want you getting all top heavy.’
‘Gotcha there Cinders.’

"LARA & KURTIS, A NEW MEETING. CAPPADOCIA. THE LOST DOMINION [ 2017]
SCENE A
Lara & Kurtis have just pulverized a contingent of Cabals nasties in a subterranean chamber complex. They stand staring at each other across the chaos of corpses, panting (but not too much…this is classic TR after all).
LARA - ‘So. You’re not as dead as your corpse trail indicated.’
KURTIS – ‘The rumours lied about you too, Princess. Good to see.’
LARA – ‘I guess this means we’re working together again, for a while, at least.’
KURTIS – ‘Not necessarily. We both do pretty good solo.’
LARA – ‘Uhuh.’
Lara chambers another round and takes in the mess on the dust-strewn floor.
Kurtis swings the Chirugai flinging a spray of pink mist from the weapon (nothing adheres to the Sky Iron of the LV adept weapon). Lara turns towards one of the many narrow tunnel entrances.
KURTIS – ‘On the other hand…’
Lara stops, looks back at him, expression in neutral.
KURTIS - ‘…on the other hand, having someone watch your back might help you avoid the embarrassment of being killed again.’
LARA – (deadpan) ‘Indeed. We both seem prone to that, on occasion.’
KURTIS – ‘Bad habit in our kinda business.’
LARA – ‘No kidding.’
Pause. Long pause. They both hold it, then laugh at the same time.
LARA – ‘It’s good to see you still active Disc Slinger.’
KURTIS – ‘You too - Miss Croft.’
LARA – ‘I’d say: we can’t keep meeting like this - but it seems we can’t avoid it.’
KURTIS – ‘Not something we’d want to make a habit of, of course. But it could have its advantages…I guess.’
LARA – ‘For you anyway.’ Laughs.
Kurtis laughs too.
KURTIS – ‘Those were Cabal back there. Are you up to speed on what plates Eckhardt is spinning these days?’
LARA – ‘Sure. … The Cabal…’
KURTIS – ‘Speaking of whom, I heard Eckhardt was dead. Then I heard he wasn’t. He’s a hat full o’ grief, that one.’
LARA – ‘Goes with the territory I’d say. You die. You come back. You cause trouble. He’s done that before.’
KURTIS – ‘Don’t I know it. But it sounds like my kinda game.’
LARA – ‘Me too. Classic. In every sense.’
KURTIS – ‘Keeps things lively.’
LARA – ‘Ok, look, I’d love to stay here all day planning our next cocktail soiree but I’ve got some bad things to kill.’
KURTIS – ‘Oddly enough, me too. I’d say let’s do the cocktail thing later.’
LARA – ‘Oh much later. I’m not dressed for social.’
KURTIS – ‘I wouldn’t say that, but what do I know.’
LARA – ‘Exactly, so shut up.’
KURTIS – ‘Right now Cheer Leader. What say you take that well-lit tunnel on your left and I’ll go down this dark, fetid, eerie one packed full o’ bad things.’
No reply from Lara as she races down the eerie tunnel filled with distant roars and bad things. Ominous sounds of mayhem echo back, as does her voice.
LARA – ‘See you after I clear this little lot up.’
KURTIS – (sotto voce, smirking) ‘Didn’t think she’d fall for that one so easily. I draw the cushy number.’
LARA – (voice faint) ‘I heard that.’
KURTIS – (under his breath) ‘Thought ya would.’
LARA – ‘(even fainter) ‘And that.’
KURTIS – ‘Sonuva….!’

IMPORTANT N.B.
They will never, ever, call each other by name. The level of chemistry-tension is obvious to everyone apart from themselves and is expressed in the taunts & faux antagonism they feel compelled to use when interacting.
Always they will use nicknames, insults - faint or otherwise, mock titles, abbreviations or masked criticisms, depending on the tension level of the moment. Their relationship is definitely more smacky, punchy than lovey dovey. .."
