Oh. As Ellie starts her halting explanation, Glimmer feels her chest squeeze in on itself. It's a stupid feeling. One she shouldn't have after all this time. They've talked about this. It's better for them to be friends--and she is so, so happy to be Ellie's friend. Even with the tangled memories of the Aerie. This is part of them being friends. Ellie wants to let her know, because she understands the weird, tangled complexity of the relationship the two of them have.

It still makes her feel like she's been punched in the chest, though.

"That's... That's good!" She smiles, because she's a good friend and she wants to support Ellie and acting like a jealous idiot doesn't help anything.

"I..." She trails off, the forced cheer starting to dissipate a little. "Thanks. For letting me know." She clings a little harder to the jetty, her eyes focused down at the dark surface of the water for a moment.

"I feel so stupid," she adds after a moment and reaches up to rub at her eyes. She's not gonna cry. This is stupid. Don't cry about this, Glimmer.

"Because we've talked about this so much and I really am happy for you. I just... I can't help feeling a little jealous, I guess." She values this. Being able to be honest with Ellie.

"She's really lucky, whoever she is."
