[ there is a long, equally hesitant moment of silence. ]
...At first, they were a nuisance. They walked into Rosohna as if they had little to be worried about. Beauregard was mouthy and nosy, and Fjord spent a lot of time trying to keep her in line. Jester was the most bothersome out of the bunch. Nott was careful, but prone to sneaky ways, I believe. Caleb was quiet, but was interested in our magic. Yasha did not let much get by her. Caduceus was holding them all together by a thread.
I was ordered to babysit them, and they spent any chance they could pestering me with Sending spells for nothing, or begging me to teleport them somewhere.
But... they... were stubborn. They never gave up trying to reach out to me, and I don't understand why. It didn't matter how cold, or rude I was to them. After a while, I grew to trust them a little more... And I... took them up on an offer to have dinner with them some time before coming here.
...Mm. It's a frustrating feeling. They make me angry quite often, and I don't want to have to be beholden to decisions I might not agree with. But if I try to do what I want for my own sake, it hurts to know I might disappoint them.

They do sound a little bit like my friends, in some ways. At least in that they can be very irritating, but trust can go a very long way.

They were extremely bothersome, and then... strangely... I felt. [ a hesitant pause, then a small sigh. ] When they weren't there...
It's as if I began to notice their absence more.

But I'm still... glad to have them.

Yes. Me, too.
