[Well, he's certainly making himself comfortable. Aloy, for her part, remains standing, an eyebrow raised. She can appreciate him getting right down to the point, though the nature of his questioning seems...subjective, at best.]

No, Thorne hasn't proven itself to be very diplomatic.

[There's no small amount of suspicion in her voice. She dislikes the way Solvunn is trying to avoid choosing sides, but she likes unprovoked attacks on civilians even less.]

You're probably going to get a lot of different answers from a lot of different people. It might help to be more specific.

[Sasarai huffs out a breath of laughter.]

Actually, different answers from different people is exactly what I'm looking for.

[His features relax into a smile.]

Think of it as me broadening my perspective. I want to understand so I can help the Summoned prevent any unnecessary conflict.

So, would you mind telling me about your host nation?

[lightkeeping]

What about it? It’s a farming commune.

[Suffice to say, she might find all of this a little silly. Aloy might not be great with people, but she isn’t naïve. Someone she doesn’t know, arriving here from Thorne, asking for information? Well, suffice to say she’s skeptical.]

You got a name?

[She hasn’t offered hers in turn, but if she’s going to be part of what seems to be someone from Throne running a one-man survey (to what end, she’s not sure, because he sure as hell isn’t going to be able to solve this conflict by soliciting fellow Summoned for their personal experiences), but it seems better to rewind a little. Start from the beginning.]

[Sasarai rolls his shoulders in a shrug.]

I'm Sasarai.

[Answered plainly, he doesn't feel he has anything to hide. The fact that the stranger hasn't offered her own name doesn't escape him, however.]

You don't have to answer my questions, you know. If you'd rather it, I can be on my way.
