B*tch Crystal hummed pleasantly as he spun delicately into Angelite's grasp. "Now, isn't this nice, Angelite?" He grinned down to the Pearl sized gem. "Just us. No Diamonds. No fusion. Just us."

"Yes." Angelite's eye twitched gently, her gem glowing with invitation. If he would just let go and let her in then she could- She could- "It's nice." Why wasn't he letting her in? He fused with others recreationally sometimes- why not her? If he did, then she could lure him in more and more until they could ask for it to be forever. Letting her get close to Blue again.

B*tch Crystal grinned almost knowingly as he hummed to a song that wasn't there. Angelite tried so hard, it was almost cute. Almost.

Maybe, for the moment, B*tch Crystal could pretend Angelite didn't hate him. That he was a good second hand, that gems didn't tolerate him only due to his status, that Blue called him her's instead of her's. Then maybe he could let go enough to entertain Angelite's silly trying to woo him. Pretend someone actually cared enough to be with him for him and not for his status.

But pretending only got you so far, didn't it? B*tch Crystal pulled away from Angelite with a hum. "I must leave for an appointment now." He adjusted the top of his dress, dusting out the wrinkles. "I will see you when our diamond returns to the zoo."

Angelite scowled the briefest moment, before schooling her expression and unlighting her gem. Folding her arms with a salute. and folding herself into a slight bow, she spoke with false reverence, "I will see you then, my crystal."

The Serpentine shook ever so slightly as she raised her hand to knock on the frame of the doorway of Petalite's quarters. The door was open, so she could probably intrude on the hermit gem without getting in trouble. An open door meant welcome visitors.... Or a forgotten-to-close situation.

Serpentine knocked gently on the doorway, straightening her posture so that she looked more appealing. Hopefully, Petalite would understand. She wasn't really known for being understanding but.... Serpentine had a job to do.

Petalite was hunched over her work desk, thousands of notes scattered on holo screens on the wall in front of her. Her hand buried deep in her hair, gripping it tightly. A few tears dripping down her cheeks. She barely looked over her shoulder at the knock, face mask darkening with a bitter, tired tone. "Don't you know better than to disturb me while I'm working?"

"A-Apologies, my Petalite," Serpentine saluted, sweating, "But I come to retrieve you for Blue Diamond. Her grace requests your presence."

Petalite scoffed, turning back to her desk and idly adjusting a few things that glinted in the light. Serpentine's eyes dilated when she saw they were bright pink gem shards. Were those....? "Tell her grace I'm busy. Maybe another cycle."

Serpentine sweated more and swallowed roughly. "I was told to retrieve you no matter how busy you were, my Petalite. Blue Diamond wishes to-"

"Fuck Blue Diamond's wishes!" Petalite slammed her hands on her desk roughly, rattling the shards on her desk. One fell to the ground, where a pile of shards and hastily fused together multi color shards sat at Petalite's feet. Serpentine swallowed again. "I'm trying to get our precious Pink back, and all she can talk about is how she's gone! She's not GONE-! I just haven't FIXED her yet! If she was GONE- then I- I'd have-" More tears dripped from under Petalite's face mask. The screens on the wall all blinked red suddenly, flashing one word:

FAILED. FAILED. FAILED.

Petalite angrily shoved the shards on her desk to the side, the shards hitting her wall and breaking more against it. Falling to the messy floor. She turned angrily to the Serpentine, more and more color draining from Petalite's form (if that was even possible with how bleached she was). Petalite slammed her hand on a button before Serpentine could run, activating a destabilizing field in the door way and poofing the poor messenger.

Petalite's shoulders slumped tiredly and she deactivated the field, walking over to the gem on the floor and bubbling it. She pushed the bubble outside of her doorway, and closed the door. If Blue sent another messenger, the message would be clear:

Do not disturb.
