A: "I never really thanked you properly."
E: "For gracing you with my awesome presence?"
A: "I-"
E: "For brightening your days with my mere existence?"
A: "Eli-"
E: "For always-"
A: "I won't be thanking you for anything if you don't shut your face."
E: "Yes, ma'am."
A: "...I just mean that before we were forced to work together, I literally didn't have any friends."
E: "That is true."
A: "Shut up."
E: "Okay."
A: "I was really alone, and although I was an ass to you, you still tried talking to me."
E: "Such hard work."
A: "..."
E: "Okay, I'll be quiet!"
A: "Not only did you give me your friendship, but you introduced me to your other friends and now I'm not alone at all, I'm happy."
E: "..."
A: "I don't know if we would have become friends if it weren't for that project, but knowing you and having your friendship means the world to me. You're the best person I know."
E: "True."
A: "..."
E: "What?"
A: "I just gave you a heartfelt speech about how much I treasure our friendship and your reply is 'true?'
E: "I'm just kidding."
A: "You better be."
E: "You are the best thing that has happened to me for a long time, Aeryn. You are the best person I know."
A: "True."
E: "Infuriating girl."
A: "Egotistical boy."
E: "With good reason."
A: "I don't think so."
