It isn't something you should thank me for. I'm just saying it because it's true. I won't treat you any differently, though. I don't think anybody would, either. People like you for who you are, not for your skills or talent, or anything like that. If anybody judges you for your motive, I'll personally flick them in the forehead.

[ Is she kidding or is she serious, who knows. ] But then again, that's because I care. Or maybe it's because I'm never sure if we're friends or not.

I... at least, want to try to be.
