There's a quiet sigh. "The Ringmaster may offer you a bargain. Something you desire, in exchange for a year of service." A year and a day. Why is Blue having to explain all of this? It wasn't her job!

But perhaps she shared a common affection with this Jasper. Unlike the other gems in this place. "My request was the restoration of Pink Diamond, and so I will ... be as a mere Pearl for that time. And so will you, if you accept her bargain."

She waves one hand slightly, almost dismissive. "And my request is seen as minor in comparison to what she has done for others." Granted, death is usually beyond the Ringmaster, but a shattered gem wasn't dead. "Jasper. If you choose to take her contract, you must maintain a cordial relationship at the least with this being. Obey her rules for the duration, and treat her as if she were a Diamond. It will be strange, but it will gain you what you wish for, whatever that may be."

It's a lot to take in. Especially now, with the Prince's haze on everyone. But there are important things, things that kept even a Diamond willing to bow to the authority of another. They could do what Blue and her 'sisters' could not. "Do you understand this?"
