[ honestly, steve had been planning on coming out here some time ago - aloy had made her offer a couple of times, and he'd taken it to heart each time she did. and he's thought about it, time and time again. why hasn't he made it out there already? well, really, a couple of things - but they all end up sounding like excuses that aren't actually good enough.
the main reason is that steve was partially worried he'd die on the way there. and then they had the huge get together out near her place, and he felt...stupid, actually, for being so terrified. plus, it's aloy. and he likes hanging with aloy. there's really no issue when it comes to how much or how little he's able to handle because she's never really made him feel bad either way.
steve gives her an easy smile when she says thanks and steps in next to her, mirroring her stand and digging his heels in to push as she counts. it doesn't take much when it's the two of them getting the piling in place. ]
Shit, seriously? [ he asks as he stands, picking a bit of the twigs and leaves from his hair and wiping off his sleeves. ] All from the party? I should have come early, sorry.
