"I..." Don couldn't come up with a response. Something inside of him was telling him to agree with these three. Since they departed together, Don had been teaching them how to use their Seed Powers. It had only been a couple of days at best, but they made great progress. Still, Don didn't necessarily consider them friends as Triss made it seem to be.
What was stopping him from considering them as such, though? When he compared these three to his other friends, they acted the same way. Did the same things, talked about the same stuff, and at the end of the day, they were all struggling together. So, what was stopping him from calling them, friends?
