Erend: I know, you've got to go. Killers to track. Machines to master - all before breakfast. You know what? When we met, I thought I was a big shot talking to a pretty girl hidden away in the middle of nowhere. Now I see I was just lucky to get a minute of your time. Try not to forget about me while you're out there changing the world.
Aloy: I'll always have a minute for you. Maybe even two.
Fanfic prompt for whoever wants to write it! Aloy gets to hold Zo's baby, at first she's awkward since she's never really been around babies before, but then maybe it grabs her braid and she starts to fall in love with it. Erend is smiling at her, and then she raises her eyes and smiles at him. Pre-relationship.
My friend is playing Horizon Zero Dawn for the first time and it reminded of this ick. Please tell me someone else had a problem with a dude around 25 hitting on a Aloy, around 18 in the first game. I don't know why but I saw Aloy as a child or very young throughout the game and sometimes Erend would just give me the creeps with what he would say. I know she's not a child but it just felt wrong.
avad excited to finally ditch the crown to join aloy and leave the sundom, arriving at her mysterious base for his first adventure just to be greeted by a glowing machine that immediately knows his name and entire history, his missing vanguard captain and missing sunhawk, a tenakth marshal from the clan that nearly jeopardized his embassy, the first utaru brave enough to fight the carja in the red raids, and a bizarre person from an advanced imperialist nation across the world all sitting in a lounge archiving apollo and blasting jackson five while aloy is in the corner playing space invaders with one hand and coding hephaestus with the other next to her apparent fucking twin and the asshole who founded the eclipse threat that kept his brother prisoner and nearly ended the world
Erend: You've never seen Vanguard steel? Well, let me introduce you. Ring locked. Impact protected. Sturdy enough to choke a Sawtooth. Has to be. Teh Vanguard are the Sun-King's best, life-takers and Machines-breakers to a one. Might even give a Nora Warmaid like you more trouble than she can handle.
Aloy: With all that metal to slow you down? I doubt it.
Erend: Yeah, hard to say. From where I'm standing, looks like pretty even match.
