That describes her perfectly.

[ oh hey guys were you talking

Beta's slipping into the kitchen, hair still messy, fresh out of bed because her sleep schedule follows no logic ]

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

[Is this bullying???

Just makes a face and offers Beta the thermos o' chai tea.]

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Beta!!

[ Will also hug her-- while trying to appraise how she looks ]

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

[ HUG TIME as she tries very hard not to drop the thermos

her fever has finally begun to wane and she's not coughing her lungs up as much, so she looks pretty good! too bad about the trauma, though. ]

Welcome back! Are we teasing Aloy?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

You two, be fair.

[She's going to investigate her mug so they can't tease her. That will work.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Teasing?

I dunno, I think what I said applies to you, too, Beta.

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

...Me?

[ maybe she should have expected this, given Kaine recently yelled about it. ]

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

We have been doing this stuff together.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Yeah. Family tends to be like family, right?

So, I hope you're resting too. I brought some chai to help.

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

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?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

Probably some reading breaks on the Focus, too.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

It's from home.

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

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

[ 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.

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

[Oblivious,]

From the tea shop, though. Right? You aren't using up one of the demon's tasks to give us this.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Ohhh.... That makes sense.

[ he blinks, and then says proudly, ]

Nope! I used my burden to get the spices!!

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

There's a shop for tea?

[ this is what happens when you're a shut in ]

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

Along with this tavern full of old world games.

[Arcade with two types of alcohol would be more accurate.]

Kalim - you mixed the spices yourself?

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

You should be careful about the tea shop...

[ mumbling a little, before, more clearly, ]

I did! My family's been in the spice trade for aaaaaages. So, I know a lot about them.

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

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

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

[the nice scent of the tea probably covers up the yucky wealth smell]

Surprised they get hands-on with it.

[SIP]

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Oh! No, they don't own a shop. We basically do most of the trading for my country! Dad's into a lot of things, but I don't pay attention to all of it.

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

[ looking between him and Aloy, confused

Kalim isn't a greedy sociopath so clearly she must not be understanding ]

The entire country? Is he someone important?

Re: day 26, evening

[despitethenora]

They're rich. No one's perfect, I guess.

Re: day 26, evening

[goldencharms]

Yeah... We get invited to represent the Scalding Sands in a lot of things.

[ not seeing the issue in 'they're rich.' ]

Re: day 26, evening

[nobetawedielike]

But you're really nice and a good person! Rich people are awful and greedy.
