Who: Everyone
When: Day 43, Nighttime
Where: The clearing, now no longer a beach

[ The beach fades away, leaving everyone back in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of the clearing and their-- beloved?-- train. There are some new stars in the sky, twinkling in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple, senna terracotta, jasmine blue, and clover pink.

The sound of a giggle fills the air and leaves behind bubbles-- touching one will give the uncontrollable urge to hug the nearest person. They will persist throughout the night. ]

....

[Okay, this could be legit because this would totally happen in Equestria, but she could also being messed with.]

[So gonna pop a bubble.]

[And now 80H is getting a hug. Definitely a lot better this time.]

Huh.

Ahh--

[she stiffens and then trembles a little in the embrace]

[UM WHY]

[Pulling back, hands off her.] What's wrong?

Nothing is wrong.

You were trembling.

You are imagining things.

I really don't think I was.

You can say you don't want to talk about it, but don't tell me I'm imagining things.

There is nothing to discuss, Miss.

Yeah, that's still implying I'm imagining things. Which just makes me think this is a deep seated issue that you do need to work through, but wow, I don't actually know if you do or don't want to talk about it, now do I?

It is fine. I am fine. You need not concern yourself with anything.

So you don't want to talk about it?

There is nothing to discuss.

....

You were fine being touched at the trial. Why is it different now?

I said there is nothing to discuss.

I told you to not imply I was imagining things.

And I will drop it if you can say you don't want to talk about it.

So let's see. You blushed when you hugged me. Easily flustered? But we cuddled, so it gets a little weird...

I did not repeat that, only that there is nothing to discuss.

[can't say she doesn't want to talk about something if there's nothing to talk about!!!!!!]

I only did so because I was forced to act intimately. It was not my intention and served no purpose.

'There is nothing to discuss' is a backhanded way to say 'you imagined there was something.'

So because it was a surprise, it flustered you? That makes sense. Doesn't explain the tremble though.

Yes, you are correct, I am easily flustered.

[so u can drop it now]

But when i hugged you wasn't flustered. That was like...

Like some kind of depressive touch starved reaction.

[Solar don't abide by passive aggressive and going back on what she says she's gonna do.]

It was not.

[firmly.]

Bad experience with sudden restraints?

I already said I was easily flustered.

Then why was that flustered reaction different from the other?

I do not know. It is not important.

You trembled when someone hugged you and then immediately wanted to not acknowledge it existed. That seems like it might be pretty important.
