[ Even Savia, in her social awkwardness notices that Gwen isn't responding to her offer with enthusiasm. Which makes Savia think she did something wrong, in the short time they've known each other which is a first. She brings a finger to her mouth and bites on it nervously. ]
Um, well... I don't see anything wrong with it. Don't you need allies in a foreign land or whatever it is? Would you prefer me to use that instead of friends?
[ Savia's silent for a long moment as she looks Gwen over. She's not going to press the issue more. ]
Okay... whatever makes you happy. My name's Savia. I'm not saying we have to be bestest friends, but it's better to have people who are friendly - sorry, not hostile in a place like this, right?
It's just like I said; I won't be inconsiderate of other people. If they need my help, I'll gladly lend a hand. Working together with others is never a bad route to take.
[It's just also like she said: no closeness to go with it.]

[Yeah, it's fine. Allies are strategic. They're practical and serve a purpose, so she can make excuses for that.]
My people are not especially...open to frivolous relationships. If you made an offer like that in my homeland, you'd be given quite a few looks.

...my name is Gwendolyn. A pleasure, Savia.
