[h2][color=navy]Candice Ghoste[/color][/h2] Candice held her fingers to her communicator in order to listen to Mars as he called in. When he told her that the gem was secure and that she wasn't going to be a threat, Candice smiled lightly and answered "[color=navy]Excelllent. Great job, Mars,[/color]" Her smile faded at the mention of Zoe. She listened as Mars reminisced about Zoe back in Afghanistan. Tears started to trickle down her face as Mars kept on talking, allowing him to grieve. She was glad that she wasn't actually out in the field, and it was the drone instead. She answered after he had finished speaking, she answered him, showing that now was the best time for the discussion, instead of later, "[color=navy]I remember. His speech got me to smile too. It was both dumb and inspiring in its own way,[/color]" She took a shaky breath in, trying to not to cry as well and she continued as she took out his mirror and looked at it seeing her own tears, "[color=navy]I miss him too, Mars. He would...definitely know what to say to anyone in the newborns'...and our, situation now,[/color]" She then said to him, tears still streaming "[color=navy]Mars...I may not be Zoe....but, I will help you in any way I can. Just...let me know what I can do if you need me...OK? I guess what I'm trying to say is...I'm here for you,[/color]" She rubbed away the tears and she apologized "[color=navy]Sorry...I must sound like a broken record at this point,[/color]" [hr] [h2][color=darkred]Carnelian[/color][/h2] Carnelian reached the group, and before she could even introduce herself, she heard a loud scream. Knowing that Aqua was busy, the newborns were confused, and Soda was...well, she wasn't sure [i]what[/i] was going on in the Sciency gem's mind. So, that left her to rescue the human that was falling to their doom. She ran to him, jumped into the air, and caught the human like he was a bride. She commented humorously after she landed with him in her thin and seemingly delicate, yet strong arms, "[color=darkred]Aw, Dahling! I know I'm fabulous, but there's no need to go...[i]falling[/i] for me now,[/color]" She set him down on his feet, and she told him, "[color=darkred]Don't you know it's dangerous here? You should get on home, Dahling...[/color]," She then looked to Sodalite and she called "[color=darkred]Sorry I'm fashionably late, Soda Dahling! I took care of that corrupted gem you pointed out,[/color]" She then looked to the newborns that were there and she greeted "[color=darkred]Hello there Dahlings! I'm Carnelian! It's so lovely to meet you all![/color]" [@Raijinslayer] [@Akayaofthemoon] [@pyroman]
