"Lot of things are "sad" in your eyes..."
The smoky Quartz pointed out gently
"Being a Boss is nice? Depends. I was working alone as I said, but my job sometimes puted me in a leading position, impersonating a squad leader or boss, or something like that... so I am not unfamiliar the stuff. Actually this is why it was easy for me to made this little criminal empire... seen a thousand times from every side, from inside replacing a little nobody or a big boss... and from out side, impersonating a cop or other law or relegious enforcer, or the "targeted audiance" so to speak. I was a cop, I was a mobster, I was a victim, I was a dealer, I was a buyer... I wore thousand masks, been thousand different person..."
And behind that, always himself, in safe distance in his own mind, separated from the replaced life
"The responsibility is a burden kid, but not the bad kind..."
But he could live without it
"The point is, I was always free Chip... yes, I had orders, I had missions, responsibilites... and the Gem Empire is cast-based. But as long as you do what you have to, you could do whatever you want... For example, I alway liked to cook. Actually one of my early missions was to impersonate a chef, and I am kind of a... perfectionist so learned it pretty well to.. well to blend in. But discovered, cooking is... relaxing. You need discipline and talent, paying attention to the details! There are laws and order. You have to focus! Follow the recipe's orders! It is actually like... I don't know... was like my job. So it came natural, I guess. Also, some of them are really tasty! To be honest, I'm kind of a ... uhm... Gourmet. So on my every mission I have picked up a recipe or two. Learnt to appreciate the flavors! A good wine... And to despise such things as the "junk food"."
The Smoky Quartz explained
"My Diamond never forbade this. You see... Morions are more like... an arrow. Qucik, precise, swift. Tricks, smoke, shadows and agility. Jaspers are like a battle axe. Strong, lethal! And everybody can learn how to cook! Or play on an instrument... it is just a matter of time, and Gems have plenty of time! I spent several rotations alone... for a timeless being what a Gem is, that is only a blink. So didn't really noticed it, how many free time I had between missions, just... spent it. Learned these things."
Morion sipped from his drink
"Enjoying music, art, culture... cooking, dusting of my victims skulls, keeping my torphy wall nice and clean, traveling... "
He mused , and watched the young Fire Opal
"You love Earth, I know... but there are things, you don't like about Earth and humans, you told me that. Why is it so hard to belive and udnerstand, I love the Gem Empire and my... our people, like you love Earth? It is that scary for you, we are not that different...?"
Morion smiled a bit
