[ well. She stares at that for a long time before she finally responds. ]
No, I understand what I've done wrong. I don't think it needs to be talked over.
I'm very sorry, sir, for what happened earlier. I did not know Aloy would try to involve you, and she wasn't aware of what had happened. Things have been cleared up and I'll be certain to be more careful in the future.
Valencia: I understand I must have hurt you deeply and I am very, very sorry, but I couldn't have known who that man was or even that you knew him, and my feelings were not as they should have been regardless after Randy was killed. Even so, I know what I did, and I'm sorry for it, and I understand very clearly how it is you feel about it, and me.
I remember quite clearly how you think of me now and I have no wish to have that said to me again, sir. Of course it is your right to do so regardless but if I can have just one thing from this past amicable relationship we had before, it would be not to hear it again. I'm sorry. I cannot be more sorry. I cannot blame you at all.
Gambler; And my head, heart, and feelings were not where they should have been either. I was driven mad on death, but that doesn’t entirely excuse the things I said, which is why I wanted to apologize.
I don’t blame you for what you did. Even if you weren’t ‘mad’ you still had to endure seeing your teammates fall, which couldn’t have been easy. It would definitely be hard to be okay after that.
Do you really think that’s what I think of you, and that I would want to say any of that again? I really hope not… but I know I hurt you deeply too, Valencia, and I wouldn’t have reached out if I didn’t think it was worth apologizing.
Valencia: I don't know what you think of me. Or anybody else, for that matter. Nothing that happened that I did during that event was excusable or forgivable.
Gambler; You might not think so… but I’m choosing to forgive you.
And, yes, I do… but whether or not you want to acknowledge my wrongdoings and accept my apology for them is obviously on you.
Try to enjoy the rest of your evening and I hope that, together, we can move past this…

Re: Day Carnival, later that night or something
I liked to think we were amicable prior to this game and that it might worth trying to salvage that budding relationship.
This isn’t entirely on you. Some of the blame is mine too.

You have nothing to apologize for.

Valencia: If you truly want to, I would like that.
Re: Day Carnival, later that night or something
I like you, Valencia.
I enjoy your company.
And I'd really hate to lose all that.
We can start small... maybe tea or coffee?
