There's a lot of competition for the role of the princess - who doesn't find the pea irritating? Blackamp is probably the most worthy candidate.

Since you love quotes:
"As understood here, love is an evaluative attitude directed at particular persons as such, an attitude which we might take towards someone whether or not that love is reciprocated and whether or not we have an established relationship with her. Friendship, by contrast, is essentially a kind of relationship grounded in a particular kind of special concern each has for the other as the person she is; and whereas we must make conceptual room for the idea of unrequited love, unrequited friendship is senseless. Consequently, accounts of friendship tend to understand it not merely as a case of reciprocal love of some form (together with mutual acknowledgment of this love), but as essentially involving significant interactions between the friends—as being in this sense a certain kind of relationship." (source: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/friendship/)
"Friendship is the mutually cooperative and supportive behavior between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis." (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship)

one thing: the 3rd conditional koine tense. Reciprocal friendship is still a potential reality.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyA very very very remote possibility in this case, but even if it were more likely, it still wouldn't make sense to call someone a friend before the friendship has become reality. In fact, it is quite disrespectful.
