Well, yeah.

[But if she has to choose, she'll take the elders, for now. Aloy's homestead doesn't imply as much, but she's ready to pack up and go should the situation become untenable--she'd rather take her chances in the wilderness. It's possible that the only thing keeping her here is the fact that many of the villagers and other Summoned wouldn't be able to protect themselves, should the worst happen.

It seems Michael has a similar idea--or, at least, the same train of thought.]

We can't count on them to do that. I can make weapons and train people, but not everyone wants to learn.

[At least Aloy is realistic about the kinds of people they're dealing with, both local and Summoned. Michael gives a nod of approval. They're on the same page.]

And of those willing to learn, not all are fit for combat. [Just a fact of life. Some people don't have the nerves or coordination for it.] Perhaps the first step would be organizing the Summoned into groups, in the event of another incident. Pair those who can fight with those who who have other skills.

['With those who need protecting', is what he's really thinking, but he can admit there are other useful talents out there in Solvunn. They have a doctor now, and quite a few others who are at least competent in basic first aid.]

[She shrugs, figuring there isn't much more to say in that department. Sure, Aloy could probably squeeze some defensive skills out of just about anyone and it would be better than nothing, but he's right in that it could be a lot of effort for little results. Still...]

It might not hurt to try. Even just survival skills.

[She doubts that as many would survive the kidnapping ordeal without people like her and Steve Rogers and Geralt, those who knew how to build shelter and find food.]

People think they're safe just because they're in the settlement. That's not true anymore.
