...What is

a friend?

I never had a friend before.

So I'm not too sure what makes a friend from an acquaintance.

...Elne and I are

more than mere acquaintances, but less than a friend, perhaps?

If not...

*tinkling*

I want to become Elne's friend

but maybe Elne doesn't think anything of me...

Lucil!

Astrea!

Enjoying the party?

Your dress is so pretty, Astrea! It looks so good on you!

Does it? Thanks.
