Him... die like a hero? He could do something useful? He could help? He could help his friends without gems turning into dust and shards?No, he couldn't. He shook his head. She was manipulating him, she had no idea what she was talking about. Surely, the fact that he pretended to be loyal made everything more complicated. The Green woman believed he was a simple, dull, loyal Pearl. Which was not the case. Not anymore.
He WAS doing something, he couldn't tell her anything, naturally, but he was not wasting time. Or was he? He was preparing for the gem war, working during the day (and sometimes night as well) to make at least basic weapons for all gems in the rebellion. Was the pacifist approach still possible? It was a nice thought... But wasn't the war, the revolution, the only thing that could truly change their current system? Their leaders have been doing the same thing
for thousands of years. They were destroying planets as if it was the norm, just like breathing for humans. A simple talk surely couldn't change it... but maybe...
He then remembered. There was Chip, his dear friend "There is a gem that I was lucky enough to work with... They were made on Earth and became very fond of this planet. Right now, they are with Pink Diamond in her base. Knowing his cocky attitude and passion about his birth place, I am sure he tried to talk with our Diamond about this already. If he didn't convince her already, I doubt I will ever be able to change anything on my own."
"You want to know what I think?" He asked "I think this is a suicide mission, a single gem, no matter of what status and cut, won't menage to change the opinion of a Diamond. You should find more gem that share your opinion, show the Diamonds that more than just one of their subjects believe the Earth should be spared. I am not going to be your test subject to see how fast a Diamond can destroy someone like me."
He started to feel that his legs were giving up. All of those emotions, negative mostly, the thought of how many they already lost and how many will perish during the conflict. He was tired, he wasn't sure how long would the facade of his confidence last. "You won't find a gem you were looking for in here... please leave this place." Or he would be forced to do something he tried to avoid...
