Oh, this is going to be great, she's going to have a new person on the team, and a new friend, and it's going to be awesome, and-
She steps back, and Winter feels like everything is crashing to a halt in her mind, as her heart falls somewhere past her stomach while she tries to make it click. She... isn't going to be part of the All Stars. Well, that's her option, as Winter had said. Still, nobody's ever turned her down before for this. They're magical girls, it makes sense to team up. Safety in numbers and all. And whether she likes it or not, she built up a reputation, with Wise Snake and Refined Shell and the aliens. She'd thought she would be able to use that, at least, to help shake things loose when the need arose.
Being rejected like this is reminding her she still has a long way to go, and it takes her a second to visibly shake herself out of the funk she can feel coming on. This girl is more than her powers, more than another cute, shiny body for the team. She needs to respect that. "Okay. I... I can respect that," she starts after a moment, a little shaky but better than she'd expected. "Let me start again."
She closes her eyes, and where Cure Diamond was standing a moment ago, a different girl appears with a bright blue flash. She's still smiling, though it looks a little forced at the moment; Winter's still trying to process things. "You probably know this already, but I'm Winter Tsukuyomi, alias Cure Diamond when I need to punch something. And you promised me your name." Tiny bits of the sass from earlier are creeping back into her tone; she'll get over the shock, it's just taking a bit.
