[When the term best friend is thrown out, she becomes more receptive to idea. New people are scary. She would prefer her meetings to be with a bit of distance between her and whoever is about to show up. Or maybe they have shown up and that thought alone makes her twist, turning slightly to see if the aforementioned 'bro' is behind her.
Nothing's there, which is for the best. If anyone had been able to quietly sneak up on her, that would've sent her running and would've immediately dashed any chance of friendship between them. At least for a few days.]
Best friend.
[This guy fed her. Offered her more to eat in the future, which is a comfort in itself. Not only for her, but for the extra mouths back at camp. They could need it someday. Someone like that, who has treasure he shares and good stories about family, probably has like-minded, kind-hearted friends.
Probably.
So while she's nervous, there's a tentative nod on her end that shows she's willing enough. Yeah, bring him out. Might as well. There's some veggies left-let's share.]
Where's your-[pause]-bro now?
[ARE WE GOING ON AN ADVENTURE?? Can she pack up the food now??]
