Sorry, everyone!  I’m having a tough time getting my Pearl muse back.

   “Oh, no, no, that won’t be necessary!   They’re just having fun, I think. In their own...   bizarre way. But there’s no harm done! Ah,   thank you, though, Garnet. It’s appreciated.”

   “. . .                  Ah… No?   Watch your mouth.    There are kids around here, for goodness’ sake.”

   Just because I don’t advertise bad behavior doesn’t    make me ‘boring.’ It makes me a respectable being.    Somebody has to be a good role model around here.”

   “With that awful mouth of hers? I’ll pass.   Why don’t you kiss Amethyst?”

           “Ah... no?   I tend to avoid stores as often as possible. Unless I’m   getting food or house supplies for Steven, anyway.”

   …I mean I stopped.   Once Steven started talking, and when I realized   just how highly inappropriate Earth swear words   are in polite company. Unlike certain other Gems,   I think before I speak.”

[ it’d be chaos, probably ]

   “Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised.   Amethyst hardly has a filter. I’m not sure if she simply   doesn’t realize it, or if she intentionally chooses to be   inappropriate. I’d guess a bit of both.”
