"Soup," Cass answers at once, but her attention is still squarely on Lucrezia. She pressed a hand to the other girl's cheek affectionately, trying to capture her attention again.

"Why are you my friend?"

It seemed odd that Lucrezia would even use that word when it's been clear in the past she believes there's no such thing, but now Cass is curious to see what Lucrezia will say and if it will match her body language. The answer itself doesn't really matter because the label doesn't matter, but she wants to see, in her way, what the answer is.
