Zircon listened and thought about what Bloodstone said, and he had a lot to say. She didn't look up at him, but she listened. She thought more about the part where he said it wasn't anyone's fault, and that anyone else would have also died trying. Zircon supposes this was valid; but even though it was no one's fault could nothing really be done? From Bloodstone's words Zircon kept close in mind where if any of them had tried to take on the thing that attacked they would have died, yet mixed with that thought Zircon couldn't help but think...maybe Zircon wouldn't have minded just to try. Maybe it sounds stupid or maybe it doesn't, yet...just trying... Although if Bloodstone would be right on the death part and Aquamarine feeling guilty...well obviously that wouldn't be good...and would be more unwanted...
But what if-
Maybe if-
Is there really-
What about-
Sigh. Too many thoughts, too little connections.
Zircon finally looked up when Amber stormed out; it seemed like a lot of people had left or were leaving. Zircon sniffled and wiped the tears away with her sleeve only for them to reform in her eyes by a little bit. Zircon also finally stands up; like the others did, Zircon considered on taking her leave as well. However she didn't really want to leave the area due to not wanting to leave anyone else around her on their own. But, Zircon felt the need to get all of this FEELS emotion out of her head so she decided to just make it quick and come back soon. Zircon felt kind of a little bad for leaving even if it was brief, but she didn't want to take the risk of bottling it in. Zircon didn't even plan to go far. Zircon looked to Bloodstone who just slammed onto the ground, who also seemed distressed about the whole thing not just about what happened but from what seems to be having no luck with trying to get the gems to feel better. Zircon wiped her eyes once more and started to take her leave by walking past him, "Thanks for the effort though.." she mumbled. She meant it when she said that. As far as Zircon knew it did seem like he was trying. Well, with everything going on in her head Zircon was sort of half-listening to whatever was being said. But judging that there was a lot to say from him, it seemed what he was trying to do was legit. That's...how it works right?
With the couple or few minutes of tension releasing she gave herself, Zircon paced back and forth at the front of the temple near the bottom of the stairs. She may have punched the wall a couple--no, actually few--times out of you know, frustration, anger, melancholy, et cetera. Zircon slowly wipes her face and exhales before heading back up when she thinks done. There was probably still more to release, but she was trying to stay committed to her self-given deadline. Before reaching the top of the stairs she heard this...erm...noise...echoing...distortion...noise...that startled Zircon enough to make her jump and make her arms spazz around until they stop in some goofy-looking pose while holding one knee up in the air as well. Zircon froze in that awkward pose for a few seconds and blinked. What was that? It almost sounded similar to something else, but Zircon didn't take the time to remember what that something else was as she hurried over to the main area where she previously was. Aqua's back. Oh thank god she's alright. Well, sort of. Her gem was cracked, that started to get Zircon worried. But at least she was alive. As for the cracked gem problem though, Zircon watched Bloodstone take out some vial of water and giving a drop to Aqua's gem which heals it right up. With this coming from Bloodstone, Zircon was surprised. He saved them from a giant monster thing, tried to comfort everyone, and then heals Aqua's gem. That's three nice things! This is coming from the bad guy! Zircon's view on Bloodstone now is...kind of confused. Is this real or is this a trap that'll be rewarding to him in the future? Whatever the case, what he did is what he really did. Zircon watched Bloodstone walk towards the warp pad, and takes notice when she sees him look back at them. Zircon's head slightly perks as she blinks and then looks to the side; should she say something? Give a little gesture? Without knowing what words to use Zircon slowly looks back to Bloodstone and slowly nods to him, sometimes her silent way of saying thanks. After that she hurried up towards Aqua and Spinel. She still doesn't trust Bloodstone, but he has her little respect for the things he has done for them.
