Amber and Aqua were walking back towards the lab.
"I don't think the others like us very much", Amber said randomly.
Aqua looked at her in confusion , "why not?".
"Well they always seem like they can't be bothered with us" , the blue gem almost actually laughed.
"It not us they can't be bothered with , it's the whole mission. "Jade doesn't like it because there is no fighting really involved, you said peridot already told you she had better things to do, tourmaline just wants the info back so she doesn't get in trouble and we're just following orders, if you ask me deep down, none of us can be bothered!" ,
Amber looked at the smiling blue gem walking along side her. You are a strange one, Aqua
It wasn't long before they we're back in meeting room 2 , back in their previous seats except for the fact that when Amber tried to sit down in her seat, Aqua pushed her over and sat in it. Amber sighed but was still wearing her usual smile before sitting in the seat that had previously been Aqua's .
"You're ridiculous, you know.", Amber said to her friend.
"OK ,so what are we doing now", Tourmaline asked the others , "I mean, that gem wasn't an aristocrat and I doubt she's a general or anything like that".
"No, we are back to square one , more or less" , Aqua that everyone went silent for a minute before the silence was broken by peridot.
"...what does that mean?", she asked in a confused tone.
"It means we're pretty much back where we started", Jade told the green technician.
"well that sucks", Aqua said hopelessly.
"Well we have to do something! I already said I don't want to be here didn't I?", Peridot yelled at the group.
The other gems just looked down at the table none of them knew what to do, every lead they had had turned up short. Tourmaline once again tapped her fingers on the table. She figured it was somewhat of a nervous habit. Habits were of course discouraged on homeworld and tourmaline had figured that out very early in her life but that didn't stop her continuing her habits in private. But this wasn't private, there was other gems here.
Tourmaline looked around at the others and realised they all had their own habits. Jade was running her fingers through her hair, Aqua was biting her lip, peridot was clenching the table so tightly she was leaving little silver marks on the surface and though you could barely notice, Amber was also tapping one of her fingers on the table, just a lot less obviously than tourmaline.
"Well, I'm not staying here", Aqua said standing up.
"What?", Tourmaline asked the blue gem walking towards the door.
"I'm going to that recreation place again", Aqua stopped before she closed the door, "let me know if you find anything new" , she said leaving the others alone.
Recreation room 1134
"Hey, I'm back", Aqua said as she entered. The first thing she noticed was that the blue gem from earlier was back and was talking to spinel.
"I welcome you, m'lady", spinel said , taking a mock bow as Aqua walked over, "I take it you want the same poison you were drinking earlier?".
"Haha, yeah, that'd be nice", Aqua said going to stand next to the other gem at the counter. The gem awkwardly shuffled a few centimetres away from her. She must be shy Aqua thought to herself.
"Here ya go", she said setting a cup down on the counter,"Hey, did you meet iolite!", the red gem said despite the daggers that were being glared at her.
"Eh no…hi" , the light blue gem said awkwardly holding out a hand for Iolite to shake. Iolite looked at her hand before shaking it hesitantly.
"she usually speaks more than this", The red gem said jokingly.
"Ha, it's okay, I don't talk to people very often anyway. Well except for Amber." , Aqua told the other two gems.
"So, I heard you were looking for a robber?", spinel asked the surveillance expert.
"Yeah, that was the gem me and tourmaline were asking about", Aqua furrowed her eyebrows while Iolite listened to her words intently, "We can't find her though, it wasn't any of blue topaz' gang and it wasn't an aristocrat like Amber thought, and now we don't know what to do, y'know?"
"Not…not really", spinel said slowly, "smart stuff isn't really my strong point, haha, I'm just her to pour juice into cups".
Spinel looked at the strange clock like device on the well. "Closing time", she sang cheerfully.
The three gems realised there were no one else but them in the room. As they were walking to the door Iolite realised that the best way to keep track of the case was to talk to Aqua.
"Ok , byeee!", Aqua said as spinel walked away.
"Eh woops, BYE SPINEL" she yelled to the other gem who you could now tell was about half a foot taller than Aqua and Iolite.
Aqua started to walk away when Iolite grabbed her wrist, blushing slightly, she said, "emm I was just wondering if you want to come to my rest area", Iolite squinted at the ground as though trying to remember something, "I have emberinin (that's the sweet stuff you drank earlier).", she half whispered the last part.
"well it's not like I've got anything better to do", Aqua smiled, shoving her hands in her pockets.
"let's go"
