Ugh, I don't know... I never wanted Ruby to feel like there was something wrong with being special.

[Suddenly, she's briefly reminded of her partner and Blake's incredibly adorable but absolutely secret cat ears. It's not quite at all the same thing really, but the thought that Ruby and Blake are even somewhat alike in yet another aspect is amusing enough of a passing thought. It's enough to wring another rueful laugh out of her.]
