"Sounds to me like you do require my presence the," Garnet responds, her tone a little flat. As if Pearl could get Garnet to not watch after her and do practically anything for her.

Perhaps it's the wrong thing to do, but Garnet doesn't let herself think on it too much. She leans forward and it takes little effort to connect her lips to Pearl's. She presses a little more against her, but the kiss isn't forceful or too distracting, and it's shorter than the last when she pulls away.

"I like your presence too." A quick peck in between. "That's why I want to make sure I keep you around."
