Lapis can't catch Jaspers' eye like this. Not while she's flailing beneath the surface of the water, trying to claw and catch and swat the other Gem away feebly.

It's only after desperate seconds pass that Lapis' strength ebbs enough that she's still enough to really get a good enough look at Jasper from beneath the ripples of the water.

She knows the look.

Lapis doesn't want to. She told Steven that it wasn't going to ever happen again.

In the end though, her fear takes over, and she gives a slight nod of her head to Jasper.

Her gems glowing adds to the already luminescent water.
