It's nice to be referred to as a friend. She doesn't think she deserves it yet, but she won't tell him that. No need to bring down the jovial mood.

She nods slowly before offering a small shrug. "I am feeling better. Talking about it earlier... it caught me off guard." She looks around a bit. "We can speak on it now, but perhaps somewhere more private would be appropriate." Discussing her world is hard for her and doing it in public is likely to make things worse. Surely Felix can see that in the way her body has begun to close in on itself.
