"Princess?"
"Yes, Twilight?"
"You are hugging me."
"Yes, I am."
"...Why?"
"Some days I need a snuggle."
"Yes, but we're in public."
"Yes, we are. What is your point?"
"Won't other ponies--"
"Mind their own business when they see two ponies expressing that they love each other? Yes, absolutely."
"But it looks weird..."
"Twilight, we live in a kingdom that runs on friendship and love. Why would it be weird for us to be hugging?"
"...I don't know, it just feels...off. Do you think--"
"Twilight, stop thinking."
"What?!"
"Thinking is keeping you from doing what you want to do."
"How do you know what I want to do?"
"Because you're hugging back. Stop thinking and do what feels natural to you."
"Thank you."
