Garnet scratches at Pearl's scalp the more she talks herself down. Eventually, once Pearl lets it all out, Garnet will remind Pearl of all the things that are great about her. But then something seems to shift and Garnet feels like she was left out of something important.

And then Pearl says that and Garnet's fingers stop mid stroke. She had honestly forgotten about that conversation until now. In their relationship, Pearl has asked her to do many things, and Garnet has always gone along with it. This one didn't seem too far away from that, but somehow, it feels like such a shift right now. She was getting ready to comfort and love, and now wrapping her mind around the opposite seems counter to herself.

She hesitates just slightly, and then her hand scratches lightly on Pearl's hair. Her mouth feels dry and she swallows. Her voice comes out calmer, "You want me to punish you for your bad day?"
