Peridot meets Shima's glance with her own look of uncertainty. Frankly, she's about 30 seconds off from abandoning this conversation in favor of charging back out into the fray to make sure her friends are safe, because each moment that passes is another one in which something horrible could be happening, and pinning all of their hopes on this one flimsy sounding plan seems ridiculous to her.
She does want Ignatius to rejoin his two halves. She even wants to believe that he could be an ally now, rather than a prisoner. Having a high fae on their side with the power of nuclear destruction would be immensely useful. But she doesn't like that circumstance is basically forcing their hand on this, and she really doesn't like the sound of signing herself over to Ignatius's power, even if his intentions ARE actually good. And, perhaps most importantly, she's hyper-conscious of the trust that the Ringmaster has put in her as one of the few people tasked with keeping the heart safe. Playing fast and loose with that information could put people in danger and betray that trust, and she doesn't take that lightly.
If only she could slow down time... Just get a few seconds to discuss things with Shima in private.
She looks quickly between Strange, and then Rita, and then Yuya.
"You three are the ones who want to strike this deal," she growls impatiently. "One of you explain."
She's just gonna stand watch, and see if maybe Shima catches on so that they can talk real quick while the others are distracted.
