Pearl stands under her hand for a moment. Not meeting her gaze. While the touch is gentle, it's a heavy weight on her. That familiar warm hand. That gentle voice.
The smaller Gem gently moves her shoulder away from her hand, taking a wide step back. She inhales deeply, trying to calm herself. To keep her emotions in check. Her lips purse into a thin line before she turns her back to Rose.
"I need time." she speaks quietly, "I need time to reflect."
What now? What will be? What will happen to them? Was it even possible now? Pearl could only feel a wall rising up around herself. To protect herself.
Pearl stands for a moment to let that set in. Before she lifts her head, erect, to head back where she came. Leaving teardrops in the grass in her wake.
