Kit is one of Alena's bestest buddies because... well, just because! He puts her in a good mood and she has fun doing things or just talking with him. She also really trusts him.
Kit is probably the best of Alena's friends who she doesn't also spar with. Probably the only one who she doesn't have an urge to be competitive with. This is because Kit's demonstrated that he does have a certain set of skills mastered (magic-illusion/trickery stuff), and that just puts him on a separate level from her skills and abilities; competing together would be counter-productive. (Like if a marathon runner really wanted to challenge and compete against a sharpshooter... it just doesn't work.)
If Alena was organizing an RPG party (though less 4th-wall breaking-sounding) she would want Kit in it so he could be the party thief.
