“ lapis lazuli. ” her name was stated boldly, an air of confusion lingering afterwards. eyebrows twitched, sinking down as the smaller gem continued to circle around her, like a predator readying to strike its prey. slender fingers curled into fists with creeping uneasiness, the questioning gem’s methods of intimidation taking an unappreciated effect.
was this a homeworld gem? if so, lapis had reason to be cautious, given her current situation. she spoke slowly, careful with her words. “ i’m not sure i know what you mean … who are these four gems you speak of ? who are you ? ”
❝ Everyone knows of the remaining rebellion who stay on this planet. A Pearl, an Amethyst, a Garnet &&. Rose Quartz. ❞
Everyone on Homeworld knew about the remaining gems from the rebellion. The so-called ‘Crystal Gems’. Lightning knew about them as much as any other gem. A couple rebels who are responsible for shattering Pink Diamond &&. just want to watch Homeworld burn.
❝ As for myself? I am Lightning Ridge Opal. A noble under- ❞
She paused for a moment, glancing away.
❝ ...A former noble under Blue Diamond’s court. I no longer serve under her. ❞
❝ I wasn’t sent here to harm the Crystal Gems, even so, that wasn’t my job. I’m a runaway. Which is why I’m surprised to see another gem who didn’t fit any of those descriptors. I’m only taking precaution. If you don’t mind me asking, is there a reason you’re on this planet as well? ❞
