Well - there was something I picked up from some data, after I found my Focus. The old ones would lie down in the snow. Sweep their arms and legs back and forth.
[ despite the cold, she turns to face Aloy, chin propped up in her hand. ]
Everything in space is so far apart, its mostly a bunch of emptiness...
But one time when I was 12, we passed through an entire plantary system. That was amazing.
It's so dark, but then you'll see these huge dust clouds in blues or purples among the lights of the stars. There's planet that comes in all sorts of colors from afar, and some them have rings around them. If you look closely, the rings are made of rock or ice.
[ with no warning, she bolts upright, looking excited ]
If this version of my Focus is the same as at the Base, I should still have the pictures I snuck on my implant! I got it from Varl to save them when I realized I could. Do you want to see? I hacked the Odyssey external recording devices for them.

[ probably not something to be proud of with context but it's all she's got!!!
then, suddenly-- ]
I have an idea! Aloy, make your handprint in the snow and then write your name above it.
no subject
[Holds it up.
. . .Okay. Uh. Puts it down in the snow, then writes ‘Aloy’ in old English.]
It’s not going to last.

[ she crab-shuffles a few inches over and adds her own right next to it. her handwriting is Not Great but w/e w/e
tapping her Focus to take a photo with a proud grin, she sends it to Aloy. ]
Even if it goes away, we still have proof we were here.
no subject
It can be proof for someone.

[ otherwise she's going to start worrying right now and this is a Sister Experience
Beta hops back up and dusts the snow off of herself ]
It snowed in the Embrace while you were growing up, right? What did you do for fun?

[Keeps the faces to a minimum, and turns to thump on her back in the snow. And start wiggling her arms and legs.]
no subject
[ she's not laughing at her, but she can't hide the grin quick enough as she's scurrying over to imitate Aloy, flopping into the snow ]
no subject
[But Beta flopping does earn a little smile.]
no subject
It is! Now your figure has a sister too.
no subject
I guess so. Are you having fun?
no subject
[ she follows the line of Aloy's gaze, setting back into the snow to admire the open sky. ]
I noticed it when we were heading to Gemini, but...the sky is so big.

...Hey, did you ever get to look outside the Odyssey?
