[ even since arriving here, Beta's pretty sure she hasn't walked this much. this is a lot of walking. what if she just experiments with walking backward, even if it slows them down? it lets her look at Aloy with half genuine curiosity and half teasing as she asks, ]

You climb mountains and skyscrapers. What would you actually call low to the ground?

[despitethenora]

Anything you can reach.

[A branch, an outcropping...Aloy's eyebrows go up when Beta opts to walk that way. It's an energy that Aloy hasn't recognized in her sister previously. But she does slow to accommodate.

And point at her, like she's challenging something.]

So at least a few yards up, with a pullcaster.

Was there ever a time when it scared you?

[ points back playfully!!! they're that spiderman meme.

at least the pullcaster came after she had grown up. what kind of trouble could a younger Aloy have gotten into, with something like that? ]

You're so unafraid of everything, but was it always like that?

[Aloy drops her hand, and shakes her head even as she forges on down the path.]

Unafraid? It’s never been like that. But sometimes, it’s thrilling. Like if I take a chance on a handhold being stable while I’m climbing. Otherwise - there’s just no room for me to let something like that stop me.

I have to keep going, even if it might be difficult. Or dangerous.
