Lara knew that she still really know much about her mother, but by reading through her journals, she felt connected to her at least at a spiritual level. So, as time wore on, she felt her mother's presence.
As time wore on she worked on understanding the information from the journals and began one of her own. As she wrote in it one day, she mused more or less to herself"I think that I might be falling in love with Kolyat Krios. But I won't force it if he doesn't feel the same way and we shall remain good friends for the rest of our lives."
Later on that day, Kolyat thought the same thing. Together over coffee, they agreed to see where their friendship goes and if love comes into play, than they won't even fight it.
One day, another mission came up, protecting a diplomat while going to Earth. The diplomat's name was Rose Sanderson and they were asked to escort her and they agreed.
Once they met, they began getting ready and they did their mission and had gotten it done very well. Rose was surprised and pleased with her bodyguards and they became good friends.
One day, Lara was trying to get an interesting book to leap out at her when she ran into Kolyat. He asked,"Trying to find something to spark your interest Lara? As am I. But there isn't much here."
They walked about the Presidium while talking when he slipped a ring onto her left ring finger saying"It belonged to my mother, Irikah before she had died when I was a boy. She wore it on a chain around her neck after marrying my father. I would like you to have it." Lara was stunned for a moment before saying,"I will always treasure it Kolyat."
They sat down together over a cup of coffee and she gave him more of the story of her mother's exploits as a vanguard.
