Quote #7
It all made sense now. I shouldn't have survived. Everyone had said so. Who knew what kind of injuries I'd actually suffered? Internal bleeding. Broken bones. It didn't matter because Lissa had fixed it, just like she'd fixed everything else. That was why she'd been leaning over me when I woke up. (18.66)
Let's call this her aha moment. Rose thinks about the accident and finally realizes that Lissa's been healing her this whole time. She's got Rose's back, and as much as she's the delicate Moroi in need of a bodyguard, Lissa is also a good friend, willing to make sacrifices for her pal.
Quote #8
"I've never seen anything like you two. Always so worried about each other. I get her thing— some kind of weird guardian hang-up—but you're just the same." (18.99)
This pretty much sums up how everyone thinks about Lissa and Rose: they're not just friends or guardian and Moroi, and they care about each other in a way few people do. Christian can't believe how much they look out for each other.
Quote #9
"She got rid of you, and you're too high and mighty to admit it." Her blue eyes practically bugged out. "Don't you want to get back at her?" (19.36)
Leave it to backstabbing, manipulative Mia to try to get something for herself out of Lissa's trip to the med clinic. When she asks Rose to give her the details on Lissa, Rose doesn't bite, even when Lissa is ticked at her. Now that's true friendship.
