Pillow friends

The term pillow-friends refers to a homosexual relationship between two individuals, most commonly between two women. It is most prevalent in the White Tower.
Novices and Accepted commonly enjoy these relationships as comfort during the hardships of White Tower training, but are viewed as a thing of girlhood and are almost universally abandoned upon gaining the shawl. Some attempt to continue the relationships as Aes Sedai.
This has the equivalent term of heart-friends in Seanchan slang.
