This is the point where the last of Malachite's anger, despite being what she is, melts away completely, helplessly. She pulls her hand back and stares at the spot that has been touched, flummoxed, as if she's never experienced anything like it before. Which is, of course, quite true to varying degrees in varying senses, depending on how you interpret things.
Then she shoots Peridot one last frown, just an actual sad one this time. It is very much a Lapis expression.
Then she shudders again, all over and a bit violently, and glows.
Unfusing is rarely graceful, even if the circumstances are a bit odd here, and Lapis lands flat on her back in the sand. In just a moment she levers up to her elbows, but she's pretty exhausted. Frankly that whole thing hurt her rockbrain too. She's probably still going to have to react or something, but give her a sec.

On the ground next to her is Jasper's gem.
