Bloodstone had sat there, tears in his eyes due to his breakdown. He had taken too much over the past years and Mars had pushed him over the top. Then, Chromite attempted to comfort him but she was never good at putting emotion into things, at least she tried. Sodalite had even said some nice things about him. Blood chuckled slightly and had a sad smile on his face. [color=ed1c24]"Thanks guys, you don't know how much that me..."[/color] Suddenly, Bloodstone was hugged by Aqua and he had completely gone quiet, his cheeks becoming a slightly darker shade of red as he bolted up. Blood wiped away his tears and cleared his throat awkwardly. [color=ed1c24]"Umm... Thanks guys... really. I usually don't get like this, but a gem can only take so much before his emotions overflow. I promise that won't happen again."[/color] Blood stepped away from Aqua, his face still reddened. [color=ed1c24]"Soooo, ummm... Now that that's over, can we discuss the details of our truce? Such as when I'm allowed over here, what you want me to teach the gems exactly, etc. I could teach them anything you want. I mean, you remember those 400 years that I was a teacher before I decided to become an activist researcher for Yellow Diamond?"[/color] Blood's face returned to it's normal shade as he talked about the past, it reminded him of who he wanted to be. Bloodstone looked over at Chromite, [color=ed1c24]"Heh, I never told you about who I was before I became a commander in the Inter-Planetary Department of the Gem Creation and Research Facility.'[/color]
