Welcome to Gaia! ::

And, just like that, Purl deflated. Her bristling anger was popped like a balloon at Swing's words. He had hurt her, but that didn't give her the right to turn around and hurt him too! It wasn't nice, or giving, or any of the things she was supposed to be. Tears gathered in her bright eyes, but she refused to let them spill.

"I... just because other phonies don't see me as perfect doesn't mean I'm not perfect for me. But..." She shifted uncomfortably, the corners of her mouth pulling down. Sighing, Purl lifted the towel off of Swing's head. "It still h-h-hurts when they point it out. I'm sorry for calling you an earth phony. And I'm sorry for thinking your markings were dirt." Purl looked up at Swing. To think that this had all started with Purl offering him a shower to get clean...

The hug was comforting although she startled for a moment before leaning into it. Purl calmed down almost instantly. Purl could hear Swing's voice clearly, like she was next to the speakers at some concert. She breathed in and out slowly before he stepped back.

"I could use a servant,"[ she suddenly teased, flashing a smile and tossing her mane. "But of course you aren't to pay me back - this was just... you needed a shower, so I offered. Let's just forgive." She really didn't think any phony could make wings disappear with magic.

"But if you'll be my friend, that's alright. And let's eat~ The juice is lonely without us to drink it."
