"Interesting description." Lily had to admit. "I like it. Much more honest than the actual name. Curlflower."
"Yeah…" Lucy was still out of it a bit. She hated how she felt. Normally she was carefree and open. She dared challenge Lumi a few days ago in front of everyone. So why was she like this now?
"Are you alright?" Lily finally asked the question. "I couldn't help but notice you had some trouble earlier."
"You noticed?" Lucy looked over, turning a bit higher pitched. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make a scene."
"Hey, don't worry about that." Lily replied, calmly. "Say, just a bit ago I was acting all stiff with Lumi. If he calls on me now, I might instinctively call him sir, despite being told not to."
He raised his glass, gesturing to Lucy. Lucy was frozen for a bit before raising hers. Lily smiled. "To friendship?"
Lucy nodded. "To friendship."
