[That's such a cheerful way to put that. Steven's stomach turns. He hadn't even considered something of that level - like, asking for his dad's protection was the most important thing to him at the time, and probably still is, even, but...
There are so many things that need fixing, back home. If Blue Diamond brought her back to life, would it be better? Or would it just be the gem war all over again? Steven doesn't know and it makes him feel sick inside. He suddenly and powerfully doesn't want to be in Blue's presence anymore, on a level beyond what he felt before.
Steven's eyes tear up reflexively, and his finds his face wet from them without even really understanding how it started. Her sadness, his own sadness, their own pressured hopes about different things...
He has to get out of here. It's more than he can take.
As Blue turns her attention to Lapis, he numbly begins to walk over to his friend as well, tears on his face but not really sure what to do about it. He could ask this question to Blue Diamond directly, but he doesn't really want to. Instead he reaches out to try to take Lapis's hand, speaking quietly:]
Can we go?
[It's not with impatience, but instead with with literal need. He can't take being here right now, and even beyond the tears on his face, his general demeanor at the moment makes that pretty obvious.]
