And if it didn't end up getting better, she would have a friend, wouldn't she? She was surprised that he had become a friend to her so quickly, especially with her stubborn personality and somewhat threatening look to her. She had threatened to hunt him down the first few moments of their friendship and then saved him from two bikers.
