While Rita and Peridot haven’t talked a lot recently, I think the two of them have a lot in common, and there are a few areas where they can potentially take off and nerd out on a level that probably few people can follow, partly because they’re technical geniuses, and partly because they’re both a little bit crazy and have little sense of moderation.
Rita finds gems fascinating as a species, which gives her a generally positive impression of Peridot by default, especially since she’s forthcoming with info about what gems are. Magic rocks are Rita’s favourite thing, so a whole species of magic rock people??? Best thing ever.
On the other hand though, Rita has approximately zero respect for authority and doesn’t really recognize Peridot as her “boss.” But since they haven’t had any major disagreements to date, this hasn’t been an issue. Rita’ll go along with things so long as she finds Peridot’s way of doing things agreeable. If that changes, though, there could be massive friction.
And hey, maybe they can bond over their love for building dumb shit. We’ll see!
