@Shielded_Gem "Well...it's odd seeing this place again...last time I was in here I was in a mirror..." Lapis explained with a solemn face+

@Shielded_Gem +gently rubbing an arm.

@Shielded_Gem "I can't help it...I'm sorry, Steven. I should try to stop." Lapis said, giving him a small smile.

@Shielded_Gem Lapis kneeled down to give Steven a proper hug, smiling as she mumbled "Thank you for freeing me. I know I've probably said+

@Shielded_Gem +it a lot but...I really am happy you set me free."

@Shielded_Gem "That is true. You're a very nice gem, Steven." Lapis said with a wide smile.

@Shielded_Gem "You do?" The Ocean Gem replied in a rather curious tone. To her, she had been rather rude and mean to all the gems she had+

@Shielded_Gem +met on Earth.

@Shielded_Gem Lapis giggled softly and gently nodded. "I'll try. I guess I never really did in the first place...heh. You're good at+

@Shielded_Gem +convincing gems, you know that?" Lapis joked while booping his nose right back.

@Shielded_Gem Lapis hugged the smaller gem back, smiling happily. "...I'll be nicer to Peridot, by the way. I was pretty rude to her..."

@Shielded_Gem "I feel a bit proud of me too." Lapis admitted with a smile.

@Shielded_Gem Lapis giggled as well, gently hugging back. "You're in quite a huggy mood!"

@Shielded_Gem "Heh. You're always in a buggy mood." Lapis corrected before letting out a giggle.

@Shielded_Gem Lapis' smile seemed to never fade, and she wrapped an arm around him as well.

@Shielded_Gem Lapis quickly lifted Steven and shifted him so he was on her back. She smiled wide. "Let's go look at more of your planet.

@Shielded_Gem Lapis nodded and took off, quickly flying up in the air.

//sorry I've been gone. Personal reasons and exams. I hope you all understand. :)

@Shielded_Gem Lapis smiled and began to slow down so they may see their surroundings.

//I'm back.
