Bismuth never mentioned Lapis being back, because Peridot had fifteen other things to think about. The Diamonds, getting poofed... Steven. That Bismuth had been hunting for two gems hadn't really occurred to her.]
Bismuth. [It's not a question. She feels like she would have known if someone else were out there spreading rumors, and it makes sense in the way that Peridot would have imagined it if she even a little bit of context for Lapis leaving beyond her word.] You... You came back to fight the Diamonds?
[That is a question, because she wants to hear it from Lapis even if it's what Lapis has gleaned secondhand from a Crystal Gem who has no reason to lie.]
yaaaaas time to sort through those issues
