She didn’t really come by, to bother the gem’s work but did not felt either, to be on her own. For now, though.

‘‘Me?, as fine as i can be’’, shrugging in the process. Lapis felt pretty indifferent. If anything, she felt so-so today. Eyelids then rose open, eyeing directly the latter presence. 

‘‘I’m not disrupting anything important, am i?’’, she had noticed those screens. But, didn’t wanted to get in the way of Zircon works, maybe she needed to be alone, once more. Atleast, until the other had enough.

     Lars closed his eyes. He had stopped keeping track of the time since departing from the gem homeworld. It had been too long. Fights with other gems had been brutal. If nothing else, Emerald had certainly put her mark on their ship. It had come to the point that, no matter how many times they stopped to repair the ship, it never stayed at full speed for long. Would they have been home by now if they had just managed to avoid those attacks? Lars wondered about the possibility. 

     He wanted to imagine that they were close to Earth’s galaxy. Elaborate tracking was offline to preserve power and hide themselves from the systems of potential enemies. The off-colors had never been outside of their homeworld’s orbit, and Lars hadn’t had such an interest in astronomy to be able to know exactly where they were. They knew the approximate direction to head in, and that was it. 

     The ship was rocking and creaking, and Lars tried to imagine the Earth’s ocean. Perhaps they were close. After all, they hadn’t encountered any Homeworld ships in quite a while... It had given him the confidence to try and sleep again. The inability to feel tired anymore made it a learning experience, and of course it was risky, but it was a simple way to pass the time-- and above all else, it made him feel human again. 

     P I N K . The color haunted his dreams recently, and it was even stronger now. A bright, loud, consuming shade of pink. It was such a loud color that it almost drowned out the sounds of shouting and alarms. Almost. Lars jolted awake the flashing, vibrant, alarming shade of red. 

        “ Captain Lars!! There’s a ship nearby- It’s heading in our direction--!! ”

     Rhodonite’s anxiety-ridden words punctured his ears, and Lars was awake.

The Yellow Court prosecutor stood just inside the doorway to the other Zircon's office as she stared her down; arms crossed and looking rather frustrated. Ever since that dreadful trial the defense Zircon before her hadn't at all been the same gem she once knew. A gem who was highly skilled in her work. A gem who had maintained a position of a worthy rival. A gem that she may have even secretly held high respect for.

The Rose Quartz trial hadn't exactly gone well for the yellow gem herself, either. What she thought was an assured victory was snatched away from her by a sudden hasty accusation on the other's part and a powerful beam of energy from her Diamond. A case with no winners. But Yellow reformed, got back on her feet, and tried to return to normal. She would forget that disastrous trial and move on. It was a single mishap in a long and successful career; it would not impact her nor her performance in her role. Why couldn't Blue do the same?

All passion was gone from the defense. She was like an empty shell. And this fact both vexed the prosecutor, and greatly unsettled her. So much so that she had to confront the blue gem now. She would get to the bottom of this.

However, when she approached the other attorney, she was met with only silence in response. She wasn't even spared so much as a glance from the Zircon. All she did was continue to sort through her work, paying Yellow no mind whatsoever. How infuriating. If there was one thing the prosecuting Zircon could not stand, it was being ignored. Huffing in frustration, she came closer to the other gem, and pressed her palms flat against her desk as she loomed over her. She glared down at her for a moment, before shifting to snap her fingers relatively close to Blue's face.

I drew a fusion between Moonstone and @triiallinggemstcnes Blue Zircon!
