How she loved Elphaba's voice like that - not so harsh, not so forcefully reasonable, not so ... cold. There was warmth now between them, and though they in fact weren't the two Shiz girls anymore and a lot had happened in the meantime, there was something of that old time left - the parts that mattered.<br/><br/>"Nooo," Glinda replied, carefully unhooking herself a little from the entanglement. She smiled, still teasing, still so utterly elated by having found that piece of her old Elphie somewhere under the green rubble that was her new<em>exterionality</em>. "For being concerned, of course. That's so sweet." She patted Elphaba's shoulder, getting rather fond of the body contact that now, through odd circumstances, had become appropriate again.<br/><br/>Elphie was truly sweet right now, and who'd have thought she was going to bring up such a nice vein in herself tonight? It made Glinda's heart flutter with joy and maybe other things. Did she really have to leave tonight...? How could she convince Elphaba to not disappear on her again? Losing Elphaba a second time - she was not certain she could take it.
