Since she doesn't take a step back, Pearl takes a step forward. She's never been shy about claiming space that she wants to be in, and she wants to be close to Ces. She's a magnet. "You got me midnight flowers."
She insists, her voice all delighted awe. Both her hands dart out at the same time. One reaches out to touch a silk petal, the other catches Ces at her elbow. "And I don't have any to give back, and I'm in my pajamas."
She is, and they're very much just a black band tank top and sweatpants that look like they're 15 years old and never started anywhere close to her size in the first place. It's all very imperfect and messy next to this other girl, who is a beacon of light, as usual. But she can't be bothered much by that.
