Probably a good idea.

[No disagreements here. Despite Steve attempting to give her some plausible deniability, this has been Aloy's plan since Solvunn claimed that small part of the Badlands. It won't be without danger, but she's most at home in the wilderness.]

Magic makes more sense. I might run up against a wall sooner or later, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try.

[ They're of the same mind about this, then. Steve twists one side of his mouth into a crooked smile. ]

I don't think a magical barrier is something any of us could easily take down, but we can't make a plan if we don't know what we're up against.

[ So Aloy could always think of the first trip out as a sort of recon mission.

He shoots Aloy a knowing look. ] If nothing else, I know there are a few pretty adept magic-users in Solvunn. [ Wanda. He means Wanda. If anyone could rip down a magical barrier, it would be her. ]

I'll see what I can find.

[And report back. It's the least she can do, given the fact that she couldn't be physically present at the facility where they were keeping the Thunderjaw. Aloy puts her hands on her thighs, preparing to stand--she probably shouldn't keep him here, especially if he's being watched at the mining camp.

That said, she understands what he's implying.]

And I'll talk to Wanda. See what she has to say about it.

[ It's true that Steve shouldn't spend too much time in the Horizon. Not that he thinks anyone is going to come bother him in his little shack while he's meditating, but still, he also needs to get some real sleep before the next long day of hard labor.

Of course Aloy understands his meaning almost immediately. Steve nods, standing as Aloy does in some attempt at politeness, as if he's going to see her out from his domain. ]

She's definitely a good place to start.

[ As they walk out of the small cafe, he reaches out to give her a light pat on the shoulder. ]

Good luck out there.
