3. Bedroll on the side of the road, or wait until a settlement to rest? A settlement, preferably - she hates keeping watch.

18. Something that makes your SS laugh without fail? Honestly? REALLY corny jokes get her every time.
19. Something that makes your SS cry without fail? It’s honestly Codsworth’s fault 90% of the time - he finds mementos and brings them to her.
