[ They are in agreement there: Ciri wants to do this on their own terms too, if they wish to try. A second chance -- she would like to agree with that, if Aloy had voiced it, though in her heart she might be feeling some inkling of the same thing. That same desire to take a chance, to try, without the influence of something else. It's not because she feels obligated, and she's not confused. She's wanted a deeper connection with Aloy, honestly, has felt a kinship with her in a way that she's never quite been able to explore due to the distance between them. The lack of time together.

Now, they've had a taste of what that time together could look like. She's happy to hear that Aloy doesn't want to dismiss it either.

Ciri takes her hand. She smiles, relieved. Perhaps hopeful. ]

This is a good start, then, isn't it? Spending time together.

Do you want to do something after this?

[ Drinks, a meal, the rest of the afternoon as they see fit. ]

We could go shopping, or to the baths. Or hunting, if you like. We've got all weekend.

[lightkeeping]

We already spend time together.

[Aloy says that wryly, but it sort of comes out as a lame joke. The truth is that she's just as inexperienced, just as fumbling. But they can take it slow, at their own pace, and see where things goes. She does not at all resist Ciri taking her hand, and even smiles a little at the prospect of going somewhere else, after they finish their drinks.]

We can go hunting. Work up a sweat, and then head to the baths.

[Ciri's right--they have all weekend. No sense in limiting themselves.]

[ She gives Aloy's hand a little squeeze, and her smile grows. ]

Yes. That sounds perfect.
