[ She is... genuinely unsure how to take that from him. Here she was expecting to be the butt of any of his jokes and teasing for as long as she interacted with him and their relationship would be nothing but a business exchange. He couldn't really think of her as friendship material, she concluded.
But because she doesn't know how to handle what he says and cannot process her feelings, she childishly whispers- ]
[He has met a majority of his friends through shared traumatic experiences; therefore Gwenhwyfar is a perfect candidate.]
No, a nice woman might smile and say all manner of polite things to your face, but turn away from you when you most need help. Say, when you turn unexpectedly into a bloodthirsty monster.
A kind woman, on the other hand, might snap at you and grumble, but ultimately...she's willing to help carry a burden that is not hers to carry.
There, that's much better. Here, will this help cheer you up?
[He stays on video, but there's a pause as he fiddles with his phone. Shortly, Gwenhwyfar will receive a photo attachment, starring Ponchik of course! The oversized mound of fluff lies stretched out on a sofa, paws and face resting on the upholstered arm of it.]
[ He is! But after crying to the point of new hysterics, Gwenhwyfar is feeling a little drained. And the friendly talk Nikolai engages in throws her through a small loop, yet again. ]
They... they would have to meet one another. Cavall doesn't know his scent... It doesn't work if he can't smell him.

Those are the same things.

It's just the right thing to do. It's what I should do.
[ Not just as herself, but a queen. ]
no subject
[A short sigh.]
I get the sense that we could argue the point in circles, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
no subject
[ Thanks to him, she realizes how that could lead to a never-ending argument, especially without the context of her obligations of becoming a queen. ]
I... I would still like to continue doing what I can for you and this other person.
no subject
Until then, I will continue to appreciate it your help.

[ Hey, at least he's gotten her to stop crying. Gwenhwyfar awkwardly runs a hand through her hair. ]
Right.

Cavall's would-be dearest friend!

[He sounds amused more than anything.]
Hence why I said "would-be" dear friend.
no subject
[ Is it a joke or is she being serious? It's hard to tell with that deadpan tone. ]
Then I suppose he can meet Cavall.
