I AM NOT CLINGY!

You're a clod, you know that!? A clod!

[Just this face.]

Ah, you're irritated too, huh Lapis? I knew you'd be on my side!

[Sigh.]

No, I think I can agree with your player on this topic, Peridot.

... What?!

Lapis, how could you!? I'm not clingy at all!

You say that but well...

You can be a bit overprotective?

... Well, considering how often we get in trouble, can you blame me?

We don't get into that much trouble! Steven gets into more trouble than we do.

I mean...

Steven is an outlier! He inherited, like, all the trouble his mom built up before he was even born! We definitely get more trouble than the average!

If you say so.

Other than calling you clingy, is your player going to do anything else with you?

Nothing he's ready to let me talk about here.

... H-How's that new game of yours going?

Oh um. It's fine?

I miss everyone but I think I'm making some new friends. [Let us ignore the blush on Lapis' face.]

...

New friends, huh?

Mmmhmm, there's a nice young fellow named Ren, and a robot oh and Dick!

Hopefully not too nice. Be careful, okay Lapis?

Yes, Peridot. I'm being very careful.

Good, cuz like! We're not there to watch each other's back! And... I guess I'm not much use in a fight compared to Bismuth, but...

[Lapis just chuckles, as she goes to pat Peridot's head.]

I don't think anyone there can make metal obey them like you do though.

Steven is WAY more clingy then you are and we love him!

And I mean Pearl's pretty qualified in that department too.

Well, yeah! That's my best talent, after all! That and my brilliance!

Uh-huh...
