Aloy's right, but... I've been sleeping all day, I can't have done anything.
[ that's her story and she's sticking to it
sip sip sip ]
Oh - this is...not spicy, but it's spiced?

It's from home.
And if you both are taking time for yourself, that's really good.

[ she's still sleepy, so she's just going to use Kalim to lean on until he says stop
she's also leaning into whisper conspiratorially: ]
Based on the evidence, I think you tell if Aloy's been resting by the flowers in her hair.

Ohhh.... That makes sense.
[ he blinks, and then says proudly, ]

There's a shop for tea?
[ this is what happens when you're a shut in ]
[ this is what happens when you're a shut in ]
You should be careful about the tea shop...

Oh, they own a spice shop? [ someone still doesn't know Kalim is rich, oopsie. ] And what's wrong with the tea shop?

So you don’t like rich people?
[ he looks between them ]

That's true, she wasn't using it like everyone else...
[ there's just been so many awful rich people okay ]
Well, I like you! In our world, historically...they've been kind of terrible.
