It sounds silly... but we were both outsiders in the group. Everyone else knew each other or knew of each other. Setsuna brought me into the group because of who my brother had been, I guess hoping I'd be as good as him at what he did. As far as she knew, she had been asked to join the group and that was the first thing she had in common with the others.
We usually found ourselves eating together at the same time and we'd talk. I liked talking with her. I thought we had good conversations. She was a very smart person and we could talk about just nearly anything.
