Amethyst makes a small hiccuping sound, not having quite been expecting to be hugged so tight when she's been on and off snacking on garbage for the last half-hour, but she squeezes back, resting her head against Peridot's.

Geez, this is not her area of expertise at all, she thinks, staring at the inside wall of the dumpster as Peridot talks. What would Garnet say...? She doesn't know -- she just hates that this has Peridot so upset, and she double hates it because of how close it is to how she was acting not too long ago.

Ugh.

"Then... maybe you should tell her how much you do like her," she suggests.
