Peridot is uncharacteristically silent, watching the conveyor belt with an unreadable expression. She's hesitant to vouch for any particular course of action; the only reason they're out here in the barrens at all is because she pushed for it, and she's getting an increasing sense of guilt around the fact that it's her fault that they're in this mess. Now she's afraid to urge one course of action over the other, on the chance that it will provoke ire from any of her teammates.

Turns out bossing people around in a low-stakes setting is a lot easier than actually leading! Haha!

Jasper's commentary pushes her into showing a bit more backbone at least. She really doesn't want to look weak in front of the other gem, so. She hops up on that thing next to Zan.

"I'm not giving up either," she says determinedly.
