#this has to be one of the dumbest topics i've seen to date and i've seen a lot

*sigh* i'm not sure why we're arguing over whether or not Nuala and Cerridwen are Elain's friends, but anyway this line exists:

"She scanned Elain from head to toe, wondering if she’d been taking lessons in stealth either from Azriel or the two half-wraiths she called friends."

this is not Nesta speculating whether or not the twins are Elain's friends. this is Nesta mentioning that Elain herself has called the twins her friends.

she also gave 5 people gifts on solstice: her sisters, Azriel, and the twins.

i'm not sure why this is even a debate. well, that's a lie, i do know. if Elain's friends are Azriel's spies, the other ships are basically dead in the water. it really feels like i'm walking into a kindergarten class when i log in and see what this fandom has gotten itself into.
