Candice was relieved that Mars had skidded to a stop when she stood in front of him, and she was about to answer his question (ignoring the fact that he mentioned that he touched her chest), when suddenly Amber grabbed him by the throat. Before she could even shout at the orange gem, he already threw Mars to the ground. She was glad that he just simply stood up, unfazed, but she still looked at Mars' neck in concern, trying to see if there was any noticeable mark there. 

Everything seemed to be okay when he just simply poked at Emerald's stone hand before it fell off. She face palmed at Mars' question towards Eve. When Reggie spoke up, she looked to him and noticed his gun. She answered him wary of the weapon he held, memories of her previous missions bubbled to her mind, "Yes, he is. And he has a lot of questions. Can you please put away your gun?"

She then looked to the others that had gathered around them, including Mayor Coss, and she said to all of them sincerely, "I'm so sorry about that," 
She then looked to Amber and simply stated to him, before continuing, "It's my fault Mars struck you. Mars and I were honestly just on our way to the temple so we could talk to you and the other gems there. He has a lot of questions regarding Gems that I can't answer,"

She then looked to Mars and she said to him "We'll talk about the fighting later. Mars, how is your neck?"
