[It hurts, but she's not stupid and not currently flipping her lid too hard to think, so she gets it. A lot of it, frankly, is being able to blame the Mirror herself; there's no telling how much she may have manipulated. Peridot would have been an easy mark. Like it or not, Lapis is aware that she doesn't always take things well, and Mirrors, of all things, were already such a difficult subject... None of that means it was right to go behind her back -- after they've gotten so much better at communicating! after she's been trying to figure out how to approach the idea! -- but it makes far too much sense to be comfortable with.
It's still kinda weird that she's not flipping her lid more, but there are probably reasons for that too, and there are definitely reasons this is better. After all, Lapis has tried that route before. Here and now, she's standing by the priorities she already decided.]
We can work it out, okay? I just wanted to find you.
