     “      you went to the moon   ?      why   ?      ”

Every moment they spent on Earth was precious time lost on Homeworld. The absence of one of them ( particularly hers, she knew, with a guilty twinge ) was nothing new. Take both of them at once, however, and the strain was felt. White was waiting. As much as Blue longed to stay, if there was nothing but silence for too long, she would come looking eventually. Would Steven find the same amount of SYMPATHY from their fellow Diamond?

She couldn’t say.

Which meant recovering their ships was the utmost importance. A single transmission would placate her. And there was only one person who had any hope of helping them, one gem who could surrender the sea’s grip though she loathed to admit it. A deep sigh blew past her lips before she addressed Lazuli.

a problem for both of them    /    will they ever get along    ?        jasper has been staring for a while now.     chewing on her words.          ❛    you’ve changed.    ❜          a compliment    ,    as close as her harsh voice can manage.     has felt the power lapis holds    /    knows they will not fuse again    /    accepts that.    has reached a new appreciation    ––– –    though that does not mean jasper will admit it.          ❛    you like these crystal gems  ?    ❜

“    i   love   what   you   two   have   done   with   the   place  .        it’s   very ...   ”      pearl pauses  ,        regarding   the   barn   once   again  .    “   rustic                         though   i   would   vacuum   a   bit   more  .   ”   

‘                UGH . i don’t think i could keep anything down if i TRIED . ‘

you’re slumped over the couch , mentally counting the BRUISES that’ll be showing up over the next couple days - and judging by how many you got , you’re gonna look like a GRAPE by tomorrow  . 

❛         lapis  !   lappppis   !!       ❜  

——    ✰    IN   BOUNDS   THE   STAR ,   A   SPRING   IN   HIS   STEP.   a   quick   look   around   the   room   is   offered   before   he   spots   lapis --  and   on   cue   steven   runs   over   to   her ,  a   few   steps   resulting   in   him   floating   for   a   few   moments.   but   as   soon   as   he   reaches   her   he   stops ,  leaning   in   to   tug   at   her   hand   softly --  he’s   excited.  

“ it’s just not fair, lapis. ”     words are drawn out as if peridot is heavily sighing with each one as she lays on the floor of the barn. refusing to make eye contact with lapis, she eventually just closes her eyes. then, as if finding new energy, she quickly sits up and near-shouts,     “ why would percy and pierre split up? it doesn’t make sense! ”     voice has reached a new pitch now.     “ they were the superior pair and now- and now they’re NOTHING, lapis! ”
