[At Peridot's side, Lapis snorts lightly. It's neat being able to feel the slight movement of that, isn't it?]
That sounds like the opposite of me.
[Which is what Mirrors are sort of hypothetically supposed to be, but anyway, that's a joke. It's not fully true anyway. Lapis can do irreverent and playful, and has been known at times to relax. She's even made progress at not being bothered and worried by everything ever, which is essentially why she's able to poke fun at herself. Is the polar opposite really something she has in her, though? Is it even desirable, all things considered? Is that what Peridot 'sees in her'? But Peridot says she likes this way better. That's slightly more successfully flattering now, in its weird way.
But it's not a revelation, or penetrating enough to hit through to the Real Lapis and get awkward, so that's a relief. She's up for learning more about this right now, but sorting through all the implications is a bigger project.]
I must have really upset her.
[Like, it wasn't R'Lapis's fault and she doesn't feel bad about it, she was good, but that sure is an observation to make.]
