Terra had to blink rapidly at her own confusion at that phrase, especially coming from Illidan — for the only time she heard the word friend fall from his lips, he was always referring to Zelgadis, and more often than not it was with belittling tone. To have Illidan declare them friends was, well. Continuing the trend of things happening that Terra wasn't suspecting, truth be told.
(The 'pretty' part was unexpected too, especially when juxtaposed with the fact the Illidan Terra knew was blind and thus had never truly seen her face, but it was pale in comparison to 'friend.')
Eventually she managed to force herself past that. This wasn't the Illidan she knew, of course, and he wasn't the one who had taken and then cursed Zelgadis worse than he'd started. If he didn't recognize her, then he'd have no idea who Zelgadis was, even if they met on the street. That realization made some of the tenseness in her shoulders ease, relaxing.
"Yeah," she replied, belatedly managing a smile in return.
