[ Kiritsubo expressing that she wants to be friends does take Gray by surprise -- because who would want to befriend someone as gloomy as her out of the blue? But the reason that follows isn't unfounded, and it does its job in smoothing out some of the weirdness. Gray would know that she's in a rare demographic among Shard-Bearers...
Kiritsubo still strikes her as an unusual sort of person, going from from extremely bold to suddenly shy and vulnerable, but Gray is far too much of a pushover to reject someone's (apparent) goodwill without good reason.
She nods slowly. ]
Friends... I wouldn't mind that. Though I'm afraid I'm not much of an exciting person.
