I never expected you'd be so open to trying something new! After you told me I'm not your usual sort of 'character'.... Well, I'm simply glad we agree there's so much that I could teach you! It's not a bother at all. Since you've already made it clear that you're ready for my tutelage, I think it would be best if we started with intermediate lessons.

[This 'Player' is far older than Steven, after all. The basics were surely covered in that human schooling. Besides, Pearl's already been told they have some history with self-defense and swordplay. Why, he'll only be a novice to gem knowledge! That makes for a much easier job than a perfectly blank slate.]

I'm impressed by how fast you worked through my-- what did you call it? Can-non? That level of dedication is nothing to scoff at.

[Took the player all of a couple days once he got started.]

I'm sure if you work very, very hard, we can complete your gem education in mere decades!

[... Oh, right. This is why picking up Pearl seemed like a bad idea.]

Hold on! Where are you going!

All work and no play is a sad way to live life.

Go easy on them, Pearl. Humans don't have attention spans anywhere close to Gems, remember.

[So distracted by the jewel upon Pearl's forehead, Elazul almost neglects to pay attention to what she's even saying. Just, holy crap, so there's more than one Pearl with a jewel in her forehead!]

Gem education? That's a new one.

[Hi, meet your species-twin-from-another-universe-entirely. That jewel sticking out of his chest isn't only for show.]

There are plenty of ways to make learning fun!

[She was told by her player that Rose could, possibly, show up. She steeled herself for it. Thought perhaps, if she didn't, she may fall to her knees and weep.

And now that it's come about, her eyes do water, but the overall feeling is one of overenthusiastic joy.]

I-- I plan on making you proud! I'm sure I can keep a human's attention!

[crystalgem]

Most humans wouldn't be able to handle the complex history of gems, but I believe my player has an open enough mind to handle it all.

[She's wrong. He doesn't. Save him.

Takes her a second to notice the gem. Blink.]

I think unless you're the type to frequently speak of such things to those in the know and outsiders both, I think you can give your mun a break in that regard. After all, if you make him focus on too many excess things, he might accidentally forget the core of you.

[Which suits him and his mun just fine, personally.]

[Garnet just watches this exchange at first.]

I thought the canon belonged to Rose. [Ha-ha.]
