Peridot sits back up and dusts herself off. "Well," she says, beaming with confidence, "if it's answers about gems you need, you've come to the right one." A beat. Then she leans over, shielding her mouth with one hand as if one of the others might be around trying to listen in: "...Seriously though, don't bother asking Amethyst or Lapis about this stuff. Lapis isn't exactly the talkative type, and Amethyst... Amethyst would probably feed you a bunch of false information just because she would think it would be funny."

...Come to think of it, Lapis might try to do the same. One can never be sure with her.
