She doesn't know what she expected out of an actual conversation with this person. He was hiding his face, had the kinds of fighting skills she's never before seen, has barely spoken a word up to now - in fact, is making an odd sort of sound she imagines she might have heard before but can't think where...
But maybe she at least expected what he said to make sense.
(And did one of those circular blades just disappear, or was she not looking properly? Maybe they just slot together...)
"I don't know what a cycle is... I know years, but..." Her gaze goes distant for a second as something occurs to her, and Aloy's never been one for internal monologuing: "If we're on a different planet, it probably doesn't go around the sun in the same time as Earth, does it. So I don't know how long a year is anymore either."
...Back to the current topic. "Never mind. That was the wrong question. I've just...never seen anybody fight like that before."
She's still trying to figure out what written for combat means. The thousand cycles were written for combat? Something about history? Who knows. Maybe she'll ask when she doesn't feel so dumb.
