Anniversary - Aloy & Rost
Nora birthdays are to celebrate the mother, Rost knows, and Aloy has none. Even the exact day of her birth is not known for certain.
But he does know the day she was given to him. The first year, he marked it by making the infant’s favorite soup, telling himself it was a new guardian’s sentiment. The second, a gift to Aloy of a new toy, lovingly crafted, “coincidentally” finished on that very day.
Now, by the fifth, Rost admits what it is: the anniversary of one of the most significant days of his life. Aloy smiles. It’s worth everything.

Rost: Aloy is at that very special age where a girl only has one thing on her mind.
Teersa: boys?
Rost: homicide.

“I did it! I got the rabbit!”
Barely as tall as Rost’s waist, Aloy stands tall and proud, fierce as the fire that touches her red hair. Her bow, sized for a child but nowhere near a toy, is held aloft, the girl having thrust her hands into the air in her jubilation. She looks at Rost like his approval means more than the blessing of All-Mother herself.
For the first time since Alana’s death, an ache in Rost’s chest stops, just for a moment. In its absence, feeling blooms.
His heart, scarred and battered but still beating, is full.

“He loved me in his own way. And that was enough.”
“What did it feel like?”
“It’s like…having the strength that was always there. That’s still there.”

As an infant, Aloy - LK1A1-4510, they prefer - was taken in by HEPHAESTUS after being abandoned by the Nora. As time goes on, they meet humans who prove to be trustworthy.
