“It’s me, Riff Hendrixsen... One of the ‘organic’ humans you befriended, mate.” Riff answered calmly, stopping in place once she heard Jasper’s voice.

“This is the place I have been assigned… yes”

The blue gem’s tone was sheepish, defensive, much like her body language was as the orange gem entered her home.

Home…

It was hardly a home.

The house she’d been granted and fact that the quartz had been the one to move into the lazuli’s place… that was just a facade. The options were only two: either the Diamonds wanted to intimidate her and force her to keep her loyalty to Homeworld despite the suffering she had to endure during the war; or she was merely a prize wife, a reward to the Quartz for her military service.

Nothing of that situation was actually a benefit to her, nor could she oppose the will of the Diamonds. Lapis knew that well. So she had to oblige, she had to endure, for her own well being. As much as she despised the situation, she wasn’t looking forward to knowing what disobedience to the Authority would have meant.

“Starting today it will be your place too”, she added, quickly, eyes darting away, looking around the almost completely blue furnished house.

Why Pearl had been chosen to speak to Jasper was beyond her. But, after unbubbling the formerly corrupted gem, and having Steven heal her gem while Garnet and herself held the soldier down, they agreed Pearl should be there when the Quartz woke up.

“I’m not going to hear it unless you want to apologize,” Garnet said crossing her arms, her face none to happy to see Jasper back. “Or is it a fight you want? If it is, I’ll be sure to pulverize you once again like before.” She stated smashing a hand with her other fist.

“You thought so, but he thought otherwise! IF YOU weren’t teaching him to be merciless and be indulged in his diamond powers, this wouldn’t be happening! Kindness isn’t a weakness, for gem’s sake! It’s a strength!”

Riff’s usual stoic mood was starting to break because of the stress caused by this.

As much as she’d been thrilled as she’d ever been in her whole life to join that expedition, her big dream sure hadn’t been off with a good start.

First she got separated from the rest of the group, then she’d been attacked and chased by a screaming and hissing flock of baboons and just when she’d thought to be done fore... something had lifted her off the ground and saved her.

She still couldn’t figure out to whom or what the strong arms that had brought her to safety belonged to. She had been to scared to get the immage of her saviour on focus. Assuming that what had swept her off her feet had actually the intention to save her and not something nastier. Of one thing Lapis was sure: she had no intention to stick around to find out. 

The second she felt to be free from the grasp and had her feet steadily on a strong tree branch and the creature turned her attention away from her to chase away the remaining baboos, she fled, climbing down the tree and managing to jump and land on a branch of the next one.

She was out of breath, hyperventilating from the rush of adrenalines, her head pulsating painful and limbs trempling slightly from the effort of the climb, her pretty new blue dress reduced to shreads... not that that would have mattered much since she appered to be lost in a deep jungle, alone with every kind of wild animals on the loose and with no protection. Just as she sighed out and concluded it couldn’t have been worse, it actually started raining.
