He taught you the bow?

The bow, the spear. He taught me how to survive. To - protect.

[Even if she made a different choice in what to protect.]

Was he your dad?

Uh - I don't really know where people keep getting that.

[Maybe because he basically was.]

Teaching is a dad thing, I think. Or that's what people say.

...Do people think Joel is yours?

Re: day 42

[giraffic]

Sometimes, yeah. Though you wouldn't really find someone my age traveling alone unless something went seriously wrong, so it makes more sense.

[Aloy manages to look only a LITTLE bitter for a moment. Of course, why would a girl that age be alone.

Then she moves to help prep more bottles.]

People make a lot of assumptions.

Hey, not-dad's are still cool. He must'a been badass if he taught you everything.

Re: day 42

[despitethenora]

He...was a good man.

[Isn't that the right thing to say about this stuff?]

I guess your Joel was, too?

Re: day 42

I think he's pretty cool. We've been traveling together for a few months now... I guess he used to have, a, uh. Shady past, though.

[ they definitely shouldn't be expecting a Rost-type if he appears, at least. ]
