[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?

Bootyyyshaker9000: No.
Bootyyyshaker9000: A bad fight with me is also not a relationship ender.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I honestly wouldn't have relationships if they were.

aloy: I know. You had some rough times with your father, for one.

Bootyyyshaker9000: And Leo. And Raph. Mikey, April, Piebald.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I suppose you could count Draxum and Cassandra, but they were trying to kill us first before they were hit with the power of friendship and family.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Leo and I have had real nasty fights, we're really good at hurting each other when we want to.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I'm a pretty argumentative person.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Also anger is the easiest emotion to default to.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Its why I try to offer peace offerings when I have enough of my faculties together to know the anger is going to burn out and I will see reason.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I'm just incapable of doing it right then.

aloy: Anger has its place. Sometimes you should be angry.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Of course.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I'm not going to be sorry I got angry because my anger was justified.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I just also know the anger is not going to be forever.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Nor did I want it to be forever.

aloy: I guess that's your decision, too.

Bootyyyshaker9000: And what would be your decision?

aloy: That's simpler. I don't have any decisions to make.
aloy: What happens is what happens.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Then I guess the real question is what do you want, Aloy?

aloy: When we're all on our feet again, I want to take the team out to hunt a large beast.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Tryse mentioned that. Just let me know.
Bootyyyshaker9000: What else?

aloy: That's my main goal right now.
aloy: I made some deals with Salamander. Plenty of meat, for one of them.

Bootyyyshaker9000: What are those deals anyway?

aloy: Getting a spear from him for meat and advice on how to deal in "loot boxes."
aloy: His help protecting Claudine in scenario targeting, if I use the boon to check something for him.
aloy: Nothing remarkable.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Loot boxes? I know what those are in video games, what are those here?
Bootyyyshaker9000: You could have asked me for a spear.

aloy: Random items of different values. You take a chance on what you get.
aloy: You have plenty of other projects to deal with.

Bootyyyshaker9000: I know that. I mean how are loot boxes a thing here?
Bootyyyshaker9000: Hamato and team projects all take priority.

aloy: They aren't a thing here. Yet. He's working on it.
aloy: I understand.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Ah.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Do you? That you can ask me for help?

aloy: I'll be asking for your help with the hunt.

Bootyyyshaker9000: And in the future?

aloy: We'll see what comes up.

[A delay.]

Bootyyyshaker9000: What do you want our relationship to be, Aloy?

(...)

(...)

aloy: Right now?
aloy: We can be allies.

Bootyyyshaker9000: And in the future?
