[Do they want anything from the humans? Do the humans even really care? Lapis doesn't know where they get their food from around here really. The nostalgia, though, is strong. And the chalk garden is nice; Lapis is getting interested in that for its own sake now. She draws a tomato plant, and then a regular old pumpkin vine, and then she gives in and carefully draws Pumpkin.
...She does miss the little aberration -- albeit less so in Wonderland, where Claude seems to fill a similar role and in some ways was also there first. She misses all of this, and while things have improved on that front, reminiscing also means remembering that it's not all really resolved. Anyway, whatever it is that Steven did, there is probably no good to be had down the road of trying to recreate that here too. But Pumpkin is not a complicated creature, and the chalk simulacrum doesn't have to do much or last long. It yips and immediately begins bouncing excitedly at its people, and Lapis can't help but smile at that too.]
