[Lapis doesn't hesitate to let Steven grab her hand. He's not the only one who needs it right now. She can't salute, but she can duck her head with acknowledgement to Blue Diamonds request.]
Yes, my Diamond. May we be dismissed?
[There's still a very real terror there, but overriding that is the sense of protectiveness for Steven, which should be obvious from the way that Lapis keeps herself half in front of him. Not that she thinks that Blue Diamond will attack anymore; it's more a subtle gesture that she will protect him just like her Diamond wants.
Of course, it's obvious enough that that protectiveness even means to go as far as from her and any other Diamond that might want to hurt him.]
