Sorry, it comes up weirdly. You guys clean things with them, so humans are always leaving them around where we can see. It's disturbing, maaaan... [ahem] Uh, but ... we're not like that.

[In, out. She breathed in for a second before calmed. Ok, she could explain it.]

A moirail's a kind of best friend, but it's a little romantic. It's a special kind of friend. We... need it for support, and she's been really supportive, and I try to protect her in turn. She's... a good person. Better than I deserve.

I don't think she knows that. She's better than she knows.
