[Forgive her for sounding exasperated, but she's answering with a brief:]
What do you need?
What do you need?
No?
Fever just about took me out of things for a few days.
But bites can get infected like that.
[It's Aloy, of course she both shorted her recovery time and downplays the time she did take.]

Well
I’ll take an explanation over another bite.
[Owing things reminds her - she needs to get that note back to Ellie. But first things first.]

Not familiar with it. Maybe something from the old world?
it's from old movies and stuff, makes it easier to explain.
basically in my world, there's this fungus called cordyceps that can changed and became able to control people's brains. it makes you attack other people so it can spread.
i'm immune, but it's still...like, in me. i guess whatever made me immune got fucked with.

[Here Aloy goes, not making things easier for people once again, huh.]
Didn't know there's fungus that could do that.
So
That could happen again?

Well
Luckily, I’ve always been pretty healthy.
Hard to keep me off my feet.
Did someone help you out?
[That is, did someone cure her?]

Aloy, do you want to go see the farm with me?
I was thinking someone might know how to cure it for you.
That’d be nice.
Looking for anything in particular while we’re there?

I wanted to take you to see horses for the first time.
Oh, you wanted to make sure you didn't miss me seeing them?
Right.
So you'll be looking to put me down?
So you'll be looking to put me down?
Exactly. We'll get to experience it for the first time together!
But you had to have a plan for after that.
Meet there? Or did you want me to walk you?
[ no one's called her out on that one so far. welp.
it's a lot easier to bullshit people when she doesn't feel guilty for chewing on them. ]
if you were really infected, you wouldn't be able to respond this long after. after confirming i couldn't reach you, i'd check if anyone had seen you in person at all.
if not, i'd go looking for you. if you were infected, it'd be obvious and i'd kill you.
but you responded. infected is a guaranteed thing where i'm from. unless you're me, for some fucking reason.

[WELL. She’s just self-aware enough to mention.]
Probably shouldn’t put too much weight on whether anyone has seen me lately.
So you don’t know how you got through it?
