"I guess, even if he doesn't truly seem like family, I would still say he is." Liz replies and looks down.

Looking back up at Copernicus "It's not always easy not having family nearby, I learned that right away especially after my mum died, that friends can be just as good as family" she says with a grin at Jen and Rian. "That's what I depended on the most, the first few days. And that was before I even knew Rian was my cousin."

"You don't need family around, if you have good friends. I mean look at all us students, we leave almost our whole families when we go to school, and don't see any of them, except for a few days at holidays." with a smile she finishes by saying "I think you are lucky to have Plymouth around, even though he can be ummm, a little wierd at times." she stops hoping not to have offended Copernicus.
