Peridot is not nearly as exhausted by all of this as Lapis has, having just borne witness to the whole thing rather than experiencing it, but there's a clear weight off her tiny shoulders and she looks relieved, if not a bit paler green than usual.

Despite knowing that Lapis has been manhandled a lot and that touch is probably way too much right now, especially intense physical contact, Peridot still drops Lapis's hand and goes for the hug. It's brief and she pulls back almost instantly, rather than let it linger too long and potentially force Lapis to push her away.

"Good," she says. And then, because that feels underwhelming as a response, she adds, "I'm glad."
