[sarcaskick]

[Or patricide! Sometimes it's patricide.]

No, he definitely is. Anyone with that attitude is, because they didn't come from a place where they'd quickly learn that they're wrong.

[riptidequeen]

[Lapis just makes a non-committal sound, as this isn't really a subject she feels she can argue about. Or for.]

Well, he's not here so it doesn't really matter.

[sarcaskick]

[A shrug - he just hates the naive optimism. Or... most optimism as far as the world goes. Even here, where things are way better than they've ever been for him.]

Then what do you think is the case?

[riptidequeen]

The case for what?

[She knows what Mercury is asking, she's just being a brat to be a brat.]

[sarcaskick]

Are you a rainbow type of girl, or do you really just stick to blue?

[optimist or nah]

[riptidequeen]

[That requires some thinking on her part, as she's quiet and still walking before she stops to answer.]

If you met me five thousand years ago I'd say "rainbow" but now I'm just too aware of how blue the world is.

[She sounds saddened by this fact though.]

[sarcaskick]

...

Five what, now?

[Like... time out on the serious talk, this has to be addressed]

[riptidequeen]

Five thousand years.

[She says each word slowly and with enuncation, so he can't claim to have misheard her.]

[sarcaskick]

Huh.

[He walks around to the front of her to give a once-over, as if looking for any signs of her significant age.

... Nope. She's just blue.]

Well, you don't look a day over four thousand to me.

[He's not sure he believes her, but does it really matter?]

[riptidequeen]

[Not really, she's pretty sure no one believes her when she mentions how long she's been alive.]

Flattery won't get you far with me, kid.

[sarcaskick]

What about insults? You actually look eleven thousand and it's terrible.

[riptidequeen]

...

[Pffft, she just starts to laugh at that. The insult would work better if Gems actually aged.]

[sarcaskick]

[Ah, and yet--]

Looks like that got me somewhere after all.

[riptidequeen]

[Heheheh.]

It was just so, hah, stupid.

[sarcaskick]

Harsh. You'll hurt my feelings like that.

[riptidequeen]

Like you have any.

[Ah, she takes a breath from all that laughing.]

[sarcaskick]

You already know me so well! I'm touched.

[riptidequeen]

I had a hunch.

[And now she's going to get back to going... where ever she was going.]

[sarcaskick]

[He's still tagging along, as he probably will until he gets bored or distracted.]

... So is five thousand even old for whatever you are? What's the scale?

[riptidequeen]

Gems don't really keep track of our ages, since we don't actually age.

[So if there is a scale, Lapis doesn't know it. Or care about it.]

[sarcaskick]

So you just... came out looking like that?

[riptidequeen]

No, I was wearing a dress.

[And she is most definately in pants now.]

[sarcaskick]

... That doesn't make it more normal.

[riptidequeen]

[She shrugs.]

It's normal for Gems.
