[ she blinks her eyes open, a little surprised. she's never sat down and considered whether they are friends, hadn't assumed any more closeness than cordial roommates. it's difficult to give feelings a shape, a name, for fear of how real they might be.
but hearing this from primrose makes her happy. there is only so long she can deny that. ]
