BEFRIEND is used both to set a certain DEMEANOR for a specific character and to see when friends/enemies are logged in. One can "befriend" up to 25 other characters. Besides various verb interactions as defined by demeanor, befriending someone in a friendly or warm manner will automatically INVITE him/her to a table.

Animal Companions

Befriend is also used by rangers to form a permanent bond with their companion.

>befriend tiger
You approach the orange tiger, preparing to establish the lifelong bond that will connect the two of you forever. A orange tiger notices your intent with a curious benevolence.
[Once established, your bond with a orange tiger will be PERMANENT. If you are absolutely sure that this is the companion that you desire, attempt to BEFRIEND the tiger again within the next 15 seconds.]
>befriend tiger
The orange tiger looks you steadily in the eye and finally nods as if in acceptance.
