Peridot can be impulsive and clumsy sometimes, but she's also definitely not dumb enough to try to take on a fae all by herself.

However.

Nightshade getting caught up in her own vines like a dog running hitting the end of it's lead is objectively hilarious. The gem looks mortified for all of two seconds before this blunder happens, and then she bursts out into peals of snickering, nasally laughter.

"Wow. I had no idea fae were capable of being such clods," she cackles, flashing sharp teeth. "Thanks for the laugh. I'm just going to leave you dirt-munchers to it."

And then she breathes a huge fireball directly at Nightshade, turns back into a bat, and attempts to fly away.
