Sodalite had read about this before. She had heard about what Bloodstone's actions and vocal patterns suggested, and kicking a horse while it was down was exactly what she didn't want to do. He was broken, mad. Stepping out of her chair, Sodalite's words were slow and careful. "Bloodstone. I cannot say much about you, but do know that I do not see you as solely our foe. You are also a possible ally. Other gems have spent time with you and your faction, and it seems that between both you and Aquamarine, the newborn gems are free to spend time with whoever they choose at the moment."
It wasn't exactly a good guy bad guy situation. Blood wasn't an anti-hero or anti-villain, but just their enemy. Despite this, he treated all of the gems with some level of respect, even though many of them had chose Aqua over him. She couldn't prove or disprove what he had said about Tiger. Nobody could at this point, but she had to believe that he had the right intentions when restoring him.
"Depending on how everything happens, you may see me studying Homeworld history and technologies on your ship in the future..."
