[Kaveh is right about his entire description of Muramasa, and she thinks for a moment that they would get along--and probably accomplish great things together. With Muramasa's skills and determination, and Kaveh's dedication and cleverness and vision, what would they be able to make? She wishes she could see it.

(She wishes, briefly, selfishly, that Muramasa was here.)

Even so, even with all of those emotions and thoughts and feelings, when Kaveh asks his question, she needs a moment to think that over. Is Muramasa her friend...? Hmmmm... Mmmmm.... Mmmmmm.

She certainly would consider him one, but would he consider her one in return...?]

I wonder... I suppose he's more like a self-proclaimed bodyguard... A really, really fussy and bad-mouthed and old grandpa-like one.
