Sooo... Hitchhiking on Steven has made for a pretty wild ride. Peridot came out here fully prepared to put her all into giving the Rose Queen the stink eye; imagine her surprise when Jonathan Strange turns out to be equally deserving of her ire.
She's relieved, of course, when the Summer Queen finally puts an end to the squabbling, but it doesn't take her eyes off the magician. It's hard to read her face at the moment because 1) she's a bat and 2) her mouth is kind of obscured by Steven's hair, but... Her gaze appears sad. She keeps wanting to give the man the benefit of the doubt, no matter how many rude and insensitive things he says, but this... She's not really sure what she's feeling about him right now.
It's when Yuya commends Ignatius that she finally stops looking at Strange, glancing back over at the queen. "Uhh... I'm the one responsible for Ignatius's creation aligned metamorphosis, for the record," she adds awkwardly, waving a thumb claw. "I don't really know if I should be apologizing for that or not? All I wanted to do was heal him." Peridot pauses. "Because. He's been really good and helpful to us."
She gets the sense that maybe this isn't the right time to bring this up but uhh. The words are out of her mouth before she has time to think twice about them.
