A sudden protectiveness bristles in Lilika and she straightens up, lowering Nell to her side so that she can turn her eyes back to her friend. "Who said?" she asks, tilting her head to the side. Freshman year might feel like a long time ago to Casper but this is the first she is hearing of it (a detail that washes over her brain and fails to stick). Dealing a blow to whoever made the mistake of whispering behind her best friend's back feels as pertinent as ever.
