It's fine. It's totally fine. Peridot holds on to her tight, and with her tail curling around Amethyst's back and squeezing as well, it's a triple threat of a hug.

"No, no... You're probably right," she chokes out. There's no actual tears being shed here, but Peridot is kind of breathing really heavily, and her voice is tight with emotion. "I'm sorry for behaving like this," she creaks without pulling back from the hug. "I just really, really like the carnival, I'm not ready to leave it behind yet! But I don't want her to think that I like it more than I like her, you know?"

It's hard to say if this is Wismuth's atmosphere making every feeling that much more intense, or if this is just business as usual for a gem who has surprisingly big feelings for such a tiny little person.
