[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: 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?

aloy: I honestly don't know.
aloy: Maybe we'll be friends.
aloy: Maybe we'll stay allies.
aloy: Back on Earth, there's a man I've frequently threatened to put my spear through. It wasn't so long ago, I started wondering the same thing about him.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Its funny how that can happen.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Including the threats phase.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Allies or friends though, we do need to communicate.
Bootyyyshaker9000: And not just when we're in a high stress situation.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Which is honestly something I have struggled with in the past, making sure to communicate, and I intend to correct that behavior.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Since I may have waited longer than I should have in this scenario.

aloy: We've been talking. It's been fine.

Bootyyyshaker9000: If you think you can't ask me for things, then it hasn't been fine.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I make things.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I make things for people I have personal investment in, its what I do.
Bootyyyshaker9000: If you thought you couldn't ask me to make things, especially something as simple as a spear, then communication has broken down hard.

aloy: I also didn't have to make a deal for spear.
aloy: I could have just asked Airi to pass one along.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Why did you go for the deal?

aloy: I wanted to.
aloy: The hunt will be good for the team.
aloy: And whatever we've said here, you still have other projects.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Actually, I made sure my project load was very light by the time spring decided to kick my butt.
Bootyyyshaker9000: So when I'm not in a pit of misery, I won't actually have much.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Most of them are actually Tryse's suggestions.

aloy: As far as I can tell, Tryse makes suggestions that benefit the team overall.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Yes, but she also wants it to be part of bonding.
Bootyyyshaker9000: So I will have free time.
Bootyyyshaker9000: And even then, I fully encourage you to ask for items, that is what I do.

aloy: I’ll consider it.

Bootyyyshaker9000: I'll also get to your last request when I am no longer dealing with spring misery.
