[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.

[ NOT JUST AS KEIKAKU

...You're really strong.

Keeping the bow drawn takes more work than it looks.

[ she's comparing their arm sizes ]

And the climbing cliffs. I get winded on the stairs in the base.

[despitethenora]

Stairs are a good start, though. When Rost was training me for the Proving, we didn't go straight to running the paths and swimming upstream.

[nobetawedielike]

How do you use stairs for training?

[despitethenora]

It's more effort than running on a level surface. It's not just the way up. If you're trying to run downhill, it still takes more effort because you need more control on the way down.

If only the stairs to the basement weren't so creepy...

[despitethenora]

Maybe I'll just make you run in the snow, instead.

[nobetawedielike]

That sounds...cold.

[despitethenora]

Trust me. It takes more effort.
