Lara knows a thing or two about being smaller and faster than the people trying to hurt you. She also knows a thing or two about getting caught. To say it's a trigger implies what happens is anything less than careful and concentrated.
She slips behind as the guard struggles with the child. A metal pipe doesn't do nearly as much damage as a climbing axe, but it will do in a pinch. WHACK!! The guard shouts, hands letting go as the pipe slams across their back. Hopefully the kid has the good sense to run when the guard turns.
WHACK!! She's not tall enough to get a really good swing in, but Lara's had experience in getting enough momentum to stagger a grown man. One more solid WHACK! Just to make sure they stay down a little longer. She looks around to make sure the kid is away and clear.
