...Yeah. I guess we can. It probably won't be any different than outside the base, though.
I didn't get to see it well when we were leaving, not really.

Okay.
[Aloy rolls down the sleeves of her clothes, and stands. Nice thing about Focuses, nothing to put up when it's time to do something else. Coming on over to the door.]
Ready for the cold?

If there’s snow, it’s freezing, Beta.
[Doot doot, let’s just start heading outside. Sometimes the best way to learn is do.]

We're not in the mountains. It can't be that bad.
[ sobecks are just stubborn like that, off they go as she stops at the front door to put her shoes on ]

[She just puts hands on her hips and waits. What’s taking your shoes off when you come inside?]
Sure. The brisk wind up there.

It'll be fine! I've managed it so far.
[ it's called MANNERS aloy

Yeah. Not that bad.

Or someone dropped a giant white blanket on it. I almost don't want to mess it up.
