Power Pulses Through Pavement

"I don't understand! How are you still alive?!"

"Woo, that was fun! Let's do that shit again!"

it was nice that Quartz actually accepted the hug, because Zinnia just processed what she did. She didn't hug any tighter, but definitely made sure the hug had purpose. Considering the territorial nature of Pheromosa that she was informed about, a part of her wasn't surprised that it would be in this predicament.

"Don' let that ol' bully scare you, Quartz. This world's your home now, jus' as much as it's mine or dad's or mom's. It doesn't get to dictate otherwise, and if it doesn't like that, then it can kick rocks. You were here first and you will always be the first priority over any other one, y'hear?" She smiled. "I won't let any asshole try to hurt you or get the better of you. If you see that asshole again and it tries to start shit, I don' care if I'm busy. Jus' call for me and I'll be there."
