"You know! Like. Maybe we don't need to do this thing the way that humans would!" Peridot exhales. It doesn't really feel like she's getting her point across here, but how else to put it...?

Another sigh. "Look. I've been approaching our extra-intimate friendship like I've been retracing the steps of a scientific experiment. I've seen humans interact with their "significant others" in the past, and from my observations I had extrapolated a certain understanding of how these things are supposed to work. It was necessary at the start in order for me to understand, because we just don't do things like this on Homeworld. There isn't time for this kind of fraternization. But the more time I spend away from all that..."

Peridot curls up on her seat, drawing her knees up towards herself as she stares down at her hands, fidgeting them together. "You and Steven, and Garnet and Pearl... You all taught me that Earth doesn't have to have rules like that. So... maybe I don't care if you want to kiss other people or whatever. As long as you still want to kiss me."
