[b]Spinel[/b]

Spinel tried to hide the fact that she was nervous.  Her head and eyes darted all around, desperately trying to find someone else who might be able to help her.  She was alone with Bloodstone and Aquamarine... an awkward situation, to say the least.  Spinel kept her eyes focused on Bloodstone as she walked up to Aqua, she was still wary that he might do something.  She had no idea what Aqua had just said, but it sounded like a question.  If that was the case, Spinel would just have to give her the best rundown she could.  "After that thing attacked you and Howlite, Bloodstone showed up and killed it for us.  We all came back to the temple, and it appears that everyone else has either gone into their rooms or left.  Bloodstone came in via the warp pad and said something about helping us train.  As you can see, he's awfully dejected about something.  That's about all I can think of that you missed... that's what you wanted to know, right?"  

Spinel took a closer look at Aqua.  The last time a gem's speech was impaired like this, it was because their gem had been cracked.  Since Aquamarine's gem was right in front of her, it didn't take more than a quick glance to see that, yes, her gem had been damaged.  "You can heal gems, r-right?  Your own gem isn't an exception, is it?"  Spinel's speech was nervous and frantic, she couldn't bear the thought of losing two people today.

Chromite stood between Amber and Reggie as it started to look like things might get bad.  She turned to Amber first.  [color=darkgray]"If you want him, you'll have to go through me, and my shield has taken hits from bigger gems than you."[/color] she said coolly.  Chromite then turned back to Reggie and said [color=darkgray]"And you, is this really what we get in return for giving you the opportunity, and one that no other human has had at that, to stay on our ship?  Then you go on to say you're an adult while acting like a newborn who's been denied their plaything!  Speaking of which, if you really think you can hurt me with that thing, you're welcome to try.  At this rate, I'd say it's only a small percentage as dangerous as your tongue, but clearly you have no intention of putting that away!"[/color]  Her voice was obviously angry at this point, and this would be the first time that Reggie had ever heard her raise it.
