Ruby ended up falling asleep in Ash's arms. She was completely exhausted once the adrenaline high wore off so she rested her head against his shoulder, justifying that it would only be for a minute.
That 'minute' ended up lasting until dawn when Flora woke up and began to cry because she didn't know where she was and wanted her cousin. She didn't recognize Ruby on sight because her appearance was so different from her usual glamour.
She couldn't be sure what else had changed because there weren't any mirrors around but at the very least she knew that one arm looked like granite while the other was a mixture of shimmery rainbow crystal and rose quartz.
"It's me, little flower," Ruby sighed heavily. "I'm right here."
Flora stopped crying immediately at the sound of a familiar voice and tilted her head. "Ruby? How come you're like a rainbow today?"
