Devika is the first co-wife that Draupadi meets, and is unsure on how to behave with.

Draupadi hasn't lived around women her age much, except for perhaps, Satyabhama, her newfound friend. She doesn't know what to expect from a co-wife, but seeing Govind's wives gives her some hope.

Will Devika like Draupadi? What if she is angry at the fact that she has a co-wife, much higher in status and power?

Ah, Shikhandi always told Draupadi that she had the habit of being worrisome.

Devika liked Draupadi well enough to joke with her once in a while, or braid her and put flowers in it, or go on picnics together, just the two of them, making Bheem unintentionally jealous.

Devika likes Draupadi well enough to swaddle her children when Draupadi sobs about being a bad mother.

Devika likes Draupadi well enough to calm her fiery nature down.

Devika likes Draupadi well enough to apply medicines on her bruised arms, after she returns from Hastinapur.

Devika likes Draupadi well enough, to hold her as she cries, after immersing her sons' ashes in the water.

(I decided to write on this very underrated duo. I personally feel that Draupadi and the Pandava wives who resided in Indraprastha were definitely close-)
