[ That is something else entirely. Claude pauses in hauling the branch for a second before he hums a note of acknowledgment and then resumes dragging it to its destination while he considers this revelation. A forest is infinitely more hospitable than the desert though it's not without dangers of its own, and that Aloy can manage them on her own? There'd been no doubt in his mind she's formidable in all the complementary ways, but that just seals it. ]

Well, I'd take advantage of that if it were me. Might not hurt to have some distance from whatever it is that's going on in Solvunn.

[ Not that he knows, really; there's only been snippets of things told to him here and there by others and a heavy suspicion on his part in regards to old gods and anywhere worshipping them in earnest. The latter was all that was on his mind when they'd gone in front of that altar in the pit whether it was a fair association or not. Maybe best to leave Solvunn (sort of) out of things for the moment. ]

Am I correct in assuming you come from somewhere where these skills come in handy?

[ Just curious. It wouldn't be unheard of to Claude considering he's had the sense there's several other Summoned used to making their own way through travel or otherwise, and something close to how mercenaries travel through Fodlan. Minus the bandit killing part. Probably. ]
