Hmph. [Aloy pats at her now reddened cheeks, watching as Zero rolls off of her.] I'm not a nerd.
[She was a nerd, but the harmless bantering is both amusing and comfortably familiar.
As for her children... Aloy raises an eyebrow.] Hey. Why are they always my kids when they're being difficult? Maybe they're being disagreeable because of your genes.
[This was a regular thing too, even though she knew very well that genes didn't work that way, either.]
[ It's hard to know if she's making a joke or actually believes that.
In a very Zero manner, she follows up her jabbing by melting into the shape of Aloy's body. And there she stays, content in the quiet intimacy of their closeness. ]
They're assholes because we are too. But they're your kids because they're the best of you.
