@etxrnaleclipse said -> “ let me know if there’s anything i can do. “
Gazala nodded her thanks, but she was an independent creature, and she didn't trust others to help her -- even if she did need it. "I think I got it taken care of, big guy."

eyes follow the drop of his fingers ────── chuckling as he plucks at the fabric of his shirt. she can't deny the smile that shapes her lips, nor the fact that interest has quirked her brow, so she agrees with a subtle nod. " i can see that. " she admits with a tease, reaching forward to examine the fabric of @riselazarus 's shirt between her own fingertips, dusky eyes lifting to catch his gaze with a sultry stare. " ― i don't know... " she taunts playfully, fingers twisting into his shirt before tugging him closer ― a mere inch away from her lips as she speaks, low and husky. " it looks store bought to me...how do i know it's the real thing? "

🪐 — RAHIM + GAZALA BRAVARD / @enclovir :
rahim’s parents were originally from algeria, & they both came from large families themselves, the majority of which still reside in algeria. rahim’s parents were both free thinkers who valued education & didn’t believe in god, which often put them at odds with their very religious & conservative family members — as well as the very religious & conservative government. motivated in large part by their desire to raise their son & any other children they might have in a nation where they would be free to decide their own religion & lifestyle, they emigrated to france when rahim was still very young.
but rahim’s parents were not the only outliers in their family. rahim’s maternal aunt had a daughter named gazala, who also dreamed of a life outside of algeria. inspired by seeing her aunt & uncle move abroad to pursue more freedom for their children & themselves, gazala began looking for opportunities for herself that could let her move abroad. it wasn’t long before gazala was accepted into a prestigious ballet conservatory in france at the age of 19, & rahim’s parents were happy to welcome their niece to live with them in their home while she trained.
gazala moved into the harrak home in france when rahim was 9 years old, & though they were technically cousins, they acted more like siblings during rahim’s pre-teen years. rahim was the oldest of the three harrak children, & gazala adored him. they quickly grew very close.
as a trans woman, gazala was the first person that rahim felt safe coming out to at age 13. & when he started dating his first boyfriend at the age of 14, it was gazala who gave rahim “the talk,” about queer sex, making sure to include both the importance of pleasure & making safer choices in the conversation. afterwards, they were both bolstered & affirmed not to be the only queer person in their families, & gazala’s unflinching acceptance was crucial in shaping rahim into the proudly out, sex-positive person he is by the time he transfers to moordale.
but unbeknownst to rahim, gazala had been recruited to the kingsman during her time in the ballet collective. for a few years, gazala balanced her new career with her family. though she spent less & less time at home, she always took the chance to visit rahim whenever she could. although she was very busy with the kingsman, & could not tell him the truth about her work anymore, still the two remained close. until, when rahim was 15 years old, he got the news that gazala had been killed in a tragic accident.
rahim had no way of knowing that gazala had actually been left for dead by her fellow agents & “rescued” by the valentine corporation — he didn’t even know she had been working for the service, after all. gazala’s “death” was incredibly hard on rahim. he turned to poetry in his grief, using writing to express his feelings of loss. some of his first poems were dedicated to gazala.
it isn’t until rahim is 26, graduated from university & beginning to settle into his adult life, that he gets the call that gazala is alive. of course, rahim drops everything to go to her, & he spends much of his free time helping her heal from the brainwashing by reminding her what it really means to be part of a family.

thefvrious asked: ❛ i’m not leaving you out here alone. ❜
" it's fine. ", words grunted out, one gloved hand pressing against a wound at his shoulder, helmet thunk back against the wall he'd decided to take a resting place against. so what about it if he was losing a little bit of blood? he just needed to take a few deep breaths and then he'd be ready to get going again, " i just need to take a rest for a moment. ".
he knew, just as well Gazala probably knew, that every second counted reaching the helicopter waiting for them ; but he'd make both of them late if he passed half way there. and though while he also knew that his chances of surviving would be much better with Gazala staying behind, he wasn't exactly the type of guy who'd risk the life of others just to up his chances.
" get to the meeting point. ", he told her once more, voice rough from not only exertion and also pain. his scold would have probably been much more effective for if she would have been able to see his expression, but alas still masked behind his curtain of fabric, he hoped the glare of his blue eyes would suffice at this time.

"Inferno Rages in Sand, Sky of Libya War Zone," Toronto Star. May 28, 1942. Page 23.
----
WITH TANKS AND PLANES the war has flared again in the Libyan desert as the Axis forces launched a four-pronged drive at British positions west and south of Tobruk. "The biggest tanks I have seen in two years of desert warfare," was the description given by one foreign correspondent of German tanks. The R.A.F. is in heavy action only 15 miles west of Tobruk.
CENTRE OF THE FOUR-PRONGED Axis drive against the British in the desert is between Ain El Gazala, 30 miles west of Tobruk and Bir Hacheim, southeast of Tobruk. There the British have powerful artillery concentrations, such as these, and, according to London sources, the defences in the rear are even more powerful than the outlying strong points.
DURING THE LULL in desert warfare both sides brought up reinforcements and new equipment. The Axis is said to be using bigger tanks with very strong armor. British forces, too, have new equipment. Ever ready for a possible gas attack, British have masks such as this, being placed on a soldier by a South African W.A.A.F. sergeant.
BEST WAY to put enemy aircraft out of action is to blast them, before they get off the ground and both sides have been doing this since the war flamed up again in the Libyan desert. These are Italian planes burning after a British attack on a airdrome.
ROMMEL'S TANK COLUMNS are in the forefront of the Libyan battle and one observer says that almost all the Axis armored columns are now in the fight. London sources state "no real offensive can be mounted unless the attacking forse holde both Bengazi and Tobruk." The Axis is making a fierce drive only 15 miles from Tobruk. The British are confident. "Let 'em come and get us!" is their motto.

a leg swings over a knee ────── the sharp edge of her blade masterfully attached to her prosthetic cutting the air as her thigh rests gingerly atop a knee. blade bounces with an impatient twitch, dusky eyes glancing at @greyjoytm , unflinching ― an intriguing reaction considering the fear that tends to follow gazala's legs... she studies quietly, a menacing smile playing at the corners of her lips before she teases: " ― scared? "
