Candice suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders after Mars stated that fighting felt good and asked if he could do it again, to which she answered "No! That's worse than...what you did earlier. I'll explain later when we're alone,". He felt the inclination to fight and hurt others...and yet, he didn't understand what casualties and death were. Before she could answer him though, Reggie already spoke up and told him that his weapon was a gun. She rolled her eyes discreetly at Reggie's comment about him not respecting authority. It was an understatement considering that Mars had no sense of privacy. She looked as Bloodstone's companion spoke with a still angry Amber and how she managed to calm the large gem down, much to her relief. Soon enough the orange gem had walked away from the group. After he left, Candice looked to the gems Chromite and Eve. She didn't trust Chromite, so she looked to Eve while Mars pet her hair. She asked Eve after clearing her throat, "As I have stated earlier, Mars has a lot of questions about gems that I can't answer. Can you answer them, or would it be better if he spoke with the tall blue woman?" She was careful not to use Aquamarine's name because it could've pointed out the fact that she was a spy.
