Who: Tifa & Travis; Tifa & Aloy When: July Where: Primary Settlement; Tertiary Settlement What: July quests in two flavors! Warnings: Talk of death and funerals, anything else that comes up will be added.
[She says, in a tone of voice that indicates she does not actually love surprises, especially not when she's in the vulnerable position of being on a boat. They drift to a stop, and Aloy uses the opportunity to gaze out to the horizon--they haven't gone far, really. She can still see the shore, but she also knows how dangerous things can be, even in a few feet of water.
Tifa's suggestion is not a bad one, and luckily Aloy had a similar idea--enough that she asked the fisherman about it before taking the boat off their hands.]
They gave me some bait. [A little half-smile, and a nudge of her head back in the direction of shore as she unties a satchel from her belt and prepares to sprinkle the chum off the side of the boat.] Let's see if it's any good.
[ Tifa chuckles at Aloy's deadpan response, but she can't blame her. At least they have some idea of what they're getting into, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise, she hopes.
It's a relief that Aloy thought ahead and asked about some bait. ] Oh! That's perfect. Good thinking.
[ As Aloy unwraps the bait, which is enough to fill their small boat with a distinctly fishy smell, Tifa keeps her gaze on the water. It's just as possible that the leviathans will breach the surface of the water with little warning at all, but if she can spot them before that, even better. ]
All right. [ She leans toward the left side of the boat, gripping the edge with both hands. Her whole body is coiled up, noticeable only in how her shoulders tense, but she's ready to spring into action. ] I'm ready — let it loose.
