[Aloy smiles after her, and will press her Focus as they proceed in, looking around before she decides where to go. This is where someone ran into Featherface, she recalls - but she hasn't heard anything new on them, so maybe that's in the past.]
Eager as an Oseram.

If it anywhere has something a little more advanced to experiment with, it's gotta be here.
[ it's not the popcorn that catches her eye, but the display case of candy ]

[Aloy unslings the spear, and holds it out to Beta.]
Here you go.

[ once she has it positioned, there's a moment where she really needs to put some oomf in it-- but then it gives, and she cheers ]

[Don't chuckle, don't chuckle. Lets Beta hold onto the spear until she should think to offer it back, instead leaning in to claim some candy.]
