[ Catra glances sideways as Glimmer shifts, then looks away again, staring at the wall across the way. ]

She hesitates, then awkwardly tries to slip an arm around Catra's shoulders. There's some relief and some guilt at that relief when Glimmer thinks about the fact that without Catra, she might have been the first one to be chipped. ]

[ She jumps a little at the contact, startled -- the fur along her spine raising just slightly. But she relaxes quickly enough, even presses into Glimmer's hold a little (she would deny it). Something about the contact eases some of the mounting panic and anxiety in her chest, so she doesn't fight it. ]

Maybe some of that cake you were raving so much about.

[ Glimmer laughs, poking her tongue out at Catra over her shoulder before she begins to rummage around. Cake, cake, cake... there had to be some in here somewhere, she was sure of it! ]

She hates magic. Hates it. ]
What did I tell you about a little warning, Sparkles?
