Tekotteh: Would you guys be there for me if I was going through something? Hekarro: No. Dekka: Absolutely not. Hekarro: Nope. Kotallo: I hope it sucks, whatever you're going through. Hekarro: I hope it emotionally scars you for the rest of your life. Dekka: I hope you reach out to me so I can ignore you. Kotallo: I can't wait to go to your funeral, knowing I could've changed that outcome.

12/30 - The way they care for each other

Okay boys this is one of my favorites. I think the video with the title speaks for itself BUT I WILL TALK ABOUT A FEW THINGS ANYWAY (proceeds to talk about all the things).

I know the first thing is... Tekotteh who only looks like a big man if he make others look small. I just thought it was nice of Kotallo to defend her honor in front of him even though she doesn't need it, she also doesn't seem so bothered of him doing so. Next we have my favorite moment, after Tekotteh calls him a cripple she immediately goes for the cannon like that was the last straw for her, omg why are they already so protective what instinct is this? Her urgency is what confirms at least to me that she also kinda blew that wall up for him. Also her calling Tekotteh a jerk only happens after you talk with Kotallo at the base about his past, I made a few test runs and all of them have confirmed this so far.

Other similar moment to this is if you choose to kill Regalla, she will glance Kotallo's way AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT HER SAYING "After all that you've done" GODDAMNIT MY BRAIN TRANSLATES THAT TO "After all that you've done to him" because I am crazed for them don't listen to me. Plus we have her running immediately towards Kotallo at the Kulrut even though he wasn't Regalla's target and everyone was screaming at Aloy "get to the chief!" when she was on the way to the throne room.

Next we have them at the Zenith Lab, I think him assuming she's worrying (and she is) and saying "I'll be fine" is the most adorable thing ever, plus how her voice sounds like when she is looking for the parts for his arm (I'll tell ya folks I barely hear her sound like that, the only other time was at the start of the game when she was looking for a GAIA backup, tho that one sounded more desperate for obvious reasons). BUT THEN HER "Something wrong?" IS SO SOFT I JUST GOT 7 CAVITIES FROM ALL THE FLUFF JESUS CHRIST (also wtf he sounded exactly the same as he always sounds and yet she was able to tell he was a little off, like mam you paying a lot of attention to this man to notice something so subtle).

Then I just think it's also cute the first thing she asks him after he returns to the grove is how he's feeling after being back to the tribe, this probably to know if he's uncomfortable? If he's having any problems because she knows what it feels like.

NOW ON KOTALLO'S END, those greetings man... he knows she's capable and yet he asks how she's doing if she's fine to be careful to be safe LIKE, BRO. And then the longing after GEMINI and What was lost he starts with the "I was wondering when you'd return" "Finally you've returned", do I can hardly blame him, I imagine how dreadful he might have felt after the long ours after GEMINI.

And finally, we have a few moments that Aloy shows she doesn't want to lose him, the one about "if I live it will be in victory" is before GEMINI, she doesn't sound afraid but I wanted to include this anyway. Later we have her voice literally cracking with even the thought of losing Kotallo, her voice is twice as high and with much more emotion compared to how she speaks the other names. We then have her body language again at the thought of losing him and Alva, she shakes her head viciously while staring at the floor, but then her voice is soft and I might be just crazy but she sound afraid of the thought.

NOW ACTUALLY FINALLY BCS I'M AN IDIOT AND PUT THE TRIMMED VIDEOS IN THE WRONG PLACE. But I just think they care for each other a lot and hers "I'm glad all this brought us together" she shifts on her feet and looks down before staring him in the eye, was she building her resolve to say that or am I just on crack?

Anyway those are the chapter for today boys, sorry if it's late. And omg that was a long one.
