What is it now?

Would you ever want to see it? Space?

[despitethenora]

I don't think so. Not really.

It's interesting to see. I'll never see this from the planet. But - it's not just that there's so much to be done. I like the mountains and forests.

[nobetawedielike]

Even if I told you about zero gravity, where you can float around freely in the air?

[despitethenora]

Like when something throws me - that moment I've reached the height of the arc?

[nobetawedielike]

Yes. Except long term, where you're able to move around like that. You could let go of your bow, and it would stay there in the air. With some drifting, of course.

[despitethenora]

So. You didn't have gravity on Odyssey?

[nobetawedielike]

It was artificially created, but part of my exercise routines involved zero G. It was fun.

[ one of the very few things that were ]

[despitethenora]

Yeah. I guess it could be, depending on the space you’ve got for it.

[nobetawedielike]

I think you'd like it, at least for a little while. When I was younger, I used to trouble the servitors because I'd be goofing off doing things like flips instead of what they wanted. I'd try to stay as long as possible.

[despitethenora]

[For a moment, she frowns. Aloy's seen what servitors in the cradle facility used to resort to if they couldn't wrangle their charges. But then, they were faced with a situation they hadn't been programmed to deal with. Would the Zeniths do better or worse?]

I'm glad you got those moments. Maybe - when we get back, you can use the shuttle we left in that base. Get some time for yourself.

[nobetawedielike]

I don't know if I'm - brave enough for that. I don't think I ever want to be in a Zenith ship again.

[despitethenora]

Even with Nemesis on its way?

[nobetawedielike]

I'd rather be down here, with you.

[despitethenora]

Well - I'm glad. That you'll stick with me.

[nobetawedielike]

With Nemesis and here too. It's good we're on the same team. I think...if we do it together, I can keep trying.

[despitethenora]

Good. Yeah, good.

Is there anything else you want to do with the snow? Otherwise, I should get you back inside.

[nobetawedielike]

[












just picks up a handful and throws it at her ]

1/2

[snow goes PAFF]

[despitethenora]

[...Gathering up snow and getting up to make her way over and dump it directly on Beta.]

[nobetawedielike]

That's cold!

[ who could have possibly predicted this!!!

With a laugh, she brushes out her hair. ]

[despitethenora]

I did tell you.

[nobetawedielike]

You did, multiple times.

[ she's offering her hands out for help standing, she definitely has no ulterior motives here

c: ]

[despitethenora]

[Only a moment's hesitation, no about having suspicions, just about touching. But helping someone up is practical, so in a moment she's going for the wrist grasp to help pull her up.]

[nobetawedielike]

[ she isn't very strong, so she's banking on the element of surprise when she moves to pull Aloy down with her, grinning ]

[despitethenora]

[That surprise almost works. Aloy's expecting to pull up a noodle sister, and instead she's getting dragged down. But rng says pull so she wobbles, adjusts her stance to steady herself. And PULLS HER UP.]

Hey.
