[Out of habit, her greeting starts with a sigh. Hey, for a long time the only person who called her was Sylens, and it really set a tone for phone conversations. Be glad it's just a sigh.]

What do you need?

Family is important too. We’ll just have to make more time.

[ it really is a shame all this does nothing for her hangover, hearing Aloy call her family is the greatest??? ]

At least we have time here. We could use it doing something together, like getting a couple heads.

[ sorry Aloy ]

[And, moment broken as Aloy's voice just.]

Yeah, no.

Are you not doing the game?

I am, but my list doesn't call for any heads.

The closest I still need to get is an eye.

Do you want one of mine?

No, I don't.

Someone's. But not you.

[ she hums but doesn't argue it, watching the flowers sway.

with her fear and insecurity repressed, now seems a good a time as any-- ]

I'm thinking of changing my name.

[She supposes next Beta will suggest they get Beta a head and Aloy takes an eye from it, and that way -

Wait.]

Your name?

[ a nod. ]

Beta isn't a name. It's a designation, the second letter of the Greek alphabet. I'm "Beta" because Elizabet was "Alpha". Because I was an unfinished version of her. It's not...me.
