[It felt like a weight was being lifted off her shoulders with the new found advice she had under belt. And seeing how much Penny had grown helped made her feel pretty warm too.]
Is that so? They sound pretty wise. You're going to have to introduce me sometime.
[ Ohoho, Penny knows what this is! She's seen this before! She maintains her outward composure, but inwardly she's excited to get to engage with this particular social game. ]
I think you would like her. She's friendly and optimistic, and the kindest person I know.
[Ruby doesn't want to toot her own horn or anything but it is absolutely sweet to hear Penny say that to her.]
I can't imagine you making friends with anyone who wasn't like that, Penny. You're such a warm, bright and earnest friend that you just draw those sorts of people to you.
[ In turn, Ruby's words to Penny have something bright and affectionate blossom inside her. She's still figuring out this physical affection thing, but even so she leans in just enough to rest her shoulder against Ruby's. ]
Thank you, Ruby. That means a lot, coming from you.
[It meant that world to Ruby that Penny was here and she was able to confide in her. It made this place feel a little more like home and she wanted Penny to know she belonged here and was loved just as much as she was back in Remnant. ...Even if Remnant had a difficult way of showing that sometimes.]
Well all I'm doing is saying the honest truth. You're the best friend anyone could ask for.
