"If she's changed for the worst, it might not be her fault," Papyrus offers in the brief ringing quiet after Peridot's indignation.
"You don't want to think the worst of your friend, whatever she's after... I understand! Really! But, maybe it isn't really her? People can change, and be changed by what's in them. Even fae, even if you don't change very quickly, or easily... very much," he glances towards Ignatius, the elephant in the room for the concept of abrupt changes in outlook and everything for fae.
"But if she's been gathering all sorts of power, and taking it into her... If any of that power has an agenda, it might push her to want things? Things she wouldn't have ever wanted? And change what she's doing, too."
It makes sense to him, as the best compromise between what they've seen and what the Summer Maiden wants to believe. He knows, from personal experience, that anybody can be twisted around to awful things, if pushed the right way. Or the wrong way, really.
