You're currently in some old, run-down underground garage in one of the few safe havens that humanity has against the combine. And right there was the 'Vance subprime' herself, Alyx. Holding down a switch to close the only door in and out.

"I'm glad you finally made it here, I hate to admit it but you were making me worry for a second-"

Alyx says lightheartedly, laughing a bit.

"But seriously: it's great to have you here... I can't put my finger on it but you have, something about you that I've yet to see in anyone else frankly."

Alyx hops on a nearby crate to sit on it, crossing her arms.

"Mossman says I'm just quote enquote 'looking for a companion' but, who cares what she has to say? I know I shouldn't talk behind her back, but I just needed to get it off my chest!"
