A little. Even though I asked for them because I thought Irene - um, the cat - might be a little...
[...]
...because I was a little lonely.
[She gives Irene - the warrior! - a little, kind of sheepish smile.]
A few months ago, I lost a lot of things all at once. The man I loved... and my closest friend, and... I wasn't as close to Clare or Teresa as I was to Senji and Arthur, but. They mattered to me. And then they were gone. Helen and Deneve left too, in a way.
[This would be the aforementioned loneliness? Probably. And she would wager that most of their kind feel this way - but she's a little surprised that Priscilla does.]
Many people here consider you a friend to them. It's not any consolation, is it?
And I don't mind listening. Priscilla. [I only wish I could do more than that. But she'll settle for listening.]

...I lost a lot. And he came, instead.

I'm sorry, Priscilla. Sorry you had to endure these things. And that you were lonely. You seem to have so many friends.
Some of it is beyond my experience entirely, and I find myself ...oh, at a loss for words.
Maybe there don't always have to be words.
[She smiles back - she's unused to it, never sure if it looks frightening or comforting. It could be either, but she hopes it''s the latter.]

[She doesn't explain that. Instead, she watches Irene's face.]
...thank you for coming. And listening.

There are probably more people who consider me a friend... than there are people I consider the same way.
