[Cain lets go of Elle so he can settle down comfortably on her non-Pip-Boy arm. His ears are up and forward, aimed in the direction of the dog dæmon.]

I'm sorry, [she says on reflex in response to how his tribe has repeatedly suffered. But she catches herself as soon as the words fall out of her mouth and she ducks her head a little, embarrassed. That's not what she should be saying here.] I... I'm. I'm glad that... your tribe's going to be okay. That you have a new place to build a home.

[Ask them what her name is, Cain tells her.

What?

His dæmon.

N-No, I'm not going to... Don't be nosy,
Elle scolds him. If they want to tell us, then they can tell us.

After a couple of beats of silence, Elle tilts her head, having thought of something else to ask.]
When I talked to Daniel earlier... He gave me -- scripture. I haven't really had the chance to read it, yet, but... I'd -- I'd like to learn. About... all this stuff you guys have been talking about. With the praying, and everything...

["With the praying, and everything," Cain echoes back, accompanied by a small gesture that is the equivalent of a bat raising an eyebrow.

Oh, leave me alone, Elle grumbles.]
