That little warm noise was met with a soft chuckle, and he pet her back reassuringly. "It is and is not, if you will believe me. From what I have come to understand, the best relationships start out as friends, and maintain that friendship. That is, the qualities that each values as a friend, in the other. That is how they weather the hardest times."

Another quiet chuckle, and pulling back only enough to wink at her. "Communication is the key. IF you decide to chance things, I believe Trunks is willing to chance them as well. From what I know of you both, there will be times you both will hurt each other without meaning to, through misunderstandings and assumptions. But communicate, and remember that you do both care for each other as friends if nothing else." That bright grin. "That is, I believe, the key to making it work. And even if you do not work as lovers, then you are likely to still end up being friends, as you are both good people with a core of professionalism."
