Disthene made a mental note about the fluid nature of Rebel Gem leadership. Taking a cue from Variscite, she took the candy bar from where she'd tucked it, very carefully peeling it open. A small frown crossed her face when she came face to face with her first candy bar. Humans ate this brown, shapeless blob? She glanced down to the scattered candy. Gems did too, enough to carry several of them on their person at a time. Oh well. Do as the natives do to earn their trust.
Variscite's stuttered question and Carbide's thorough explanation of the punishments for Rebel gems allowed Disthene time to attempt a new ritual. She opened her mouth, making the motions to nibble at the candy. She only intended to pantomime taking the first bite, but misjudged the timing of her teeth and the closeness of the candy bar, taking a sizeable chunk out of the end of it. Oh, to have chocolate be the first taste she'd ever experienced!! It took all her diplomatic focus not to make any obscene noises of surprise and delight. "Mm. That is different. But Prototype Carbide is correct, Gem Leader Variscite. Though, shattering would be a last resort. There's several ways that one could make use of a gem without form. Of course, these punishments are reserved for those who commit acts such as treason. But after a few thousand years of hard labor or bubbling, I would imagine that you would eventually find release."
She wiped her lip with a finger, offering the rest of her chocolate bar to Carbide. " I will have to keep that warning in mind, but my travels should be to first discover the wants and needs of the Rebellion. However,this city you speak of, I will have to make a stop and add the goings-on there to my report. For now, I stay within Rebel territory, and within proximity of its leader."
