Tatehan thought about this deeply.
He had known Riven for quite some time now, and though they hadn't seen each other since the last time he came to Waython Hollow, she was a good friend. Maybe his only real friend on this planet, if he was being honest with himself.
She was someone who was free with him, and he felt relaxed being around her. They had conversations and told jokes like they were longtime friends when the opposite was true—they had only recently met each other.
Even when they first met, Tatehan had been hostile in a way, guarded and suspicious. But she had been nice and playful, actually wanting to be friends with him. Now they were, and eventually... they could be more.
But telling her that he had a system that randomly granted him abilities would require a whole different level of trust, and he wasn't sure he trusted her that much. Not yet.
