#spinel:

“Guess you could say somethin’ like that!” Spinel giggled, gladly accepting Sunset’s hand without a second thought. 

Rather than reaching out the, y’know, regular, human, length, her arm propelled itself forward like something straight out of a cartoon. A gloved hand gripped the others’- shaking vigorously. 

She was in a pretty darn good mood, if it wasn’t obvious enough. Just meeting a friendly stranger was enough to put a bit of extra pep in her step! 

So much pep, that is, that Spinel paid no mind to (or, rather, outright missed) Sunset’s fascination with her gemstone. Why focus on something so minute, anyway, when she had a brand spankin’ new friend to talk to? 

 “It’s a pleasure ‘ta meet’cha, Sunset Shimmer! Fun name, by the way! And I just LOVE your hair! It looks like everybody around here’s pretty fond ‘a wacky hairdos, though, so maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised!” 

“Don’t mind me, if you can! I’m just takin’ my time exploring Earth here and there; seein’ th’ sights! You’ve got yourselves a pretty LIVELY planet, I’ll say THAT much! NOTHING like Homeworld!”
