Oh, Yellow. You really should wait for a full report before breaking their forms.
[Her admonishment is gentle, as if it had been nothing more than a silly mistake and not something potentially traumatizing. After all, it wasn't a shattering, and the Peridot would be back within a few weeks at most no worse for wear (aside from a proper gem-deep TERROR of pissing off a Diamond of course).]
It is to our benefit that there are other gems here. We will have to take them with us when we leave, of course, and perhaps instruct proper infiltrators to return and investigate in detail.
[She is capable of being a proper diamond when not in the throes of constantly lurking grief, at least.
We could have done worse than a Jasper, a Lazuli and a Peridot, presuming their taint isn't contagious.
