A small stone smacked Sphene sharply in the back of the head. Whipping around and instinctively covering her gem with her hands, her eyes scanned the surrounding cliffs anxiously in search of whomever was responsible. Should they be a foe, she would need to help the little one to safety. Should they be friend who was merely showering them with rocks accidentally, they were in need of a gentle reprimanding for carelessness. Her gaze zeroed in on yet another gem of the purple kind, this one even more so. He appeared to be in trouble. Or he thought he was, at least. The poor thing seemed to fear letting go of his grip on the wall, despite looking durable enough to land with little issue, or at least slide down. [color=fff200]"Are you stuck up there, little gem? You could jump, I doubt that it would hurt you."[/color] Seemingly contradicting herself, she drew closer as if expecting him to need assistance.

Suddenly, she could hear a voice. [color=fff200][i]"Ah, she must be my leader!"[/i][/color] Sphene was instantly reassured by Aquamarine's words. As instructed, she focused on painting a mental picture of her surroundings, highlighting in particular Stengite's predicament. Soon, she would be taken away from this place to her assignment, and allowed to fulfil her purpose of assisting in the conquering of other worlds. She wasn't overjoyed, no, but she was satisfied.

As Bloodstone approached, Sphene turned to face him, folding her hands and lowering her eyes in respect. At his question, she was slightly startled. Why would her wants matter? She would be sent to where she was needed, not wherever she happened to fancy a visit. Was this a trick?
[color=fff200]"I don't think I understand...are you not here to escort me to the Aquamarine so she can give me my assignment?"[/color] she questioned uncertainly. 

With every word thus far, the quiet bell-like sound was renewed in the area.
