Hearing her echo them back to him is almost as gratifying as seeing her reaction back at that time. So she thinks of him the same way - a friend more special than any other in the army. Jaffar, he only has one friend to begin with, but Nino has a lot. And all of these things are, perhaps, things that he should have assumed from the very start of this, when she came to give him the gift in the first place...
