Spinel
"What I want..." Spinel had to take some time to consider what Aquamarine had said. "To my knowledge, my purpose here is to find a suitable leader to report to so that I may being my reconnaissance duties. What I want however... I apologize, I'm still not sure I understand. The one you referred to as Bloodstone, you said he is the one I should report to?" Bloodstone had only just begun to head in another direction, perhaps Spinel could still reach him if she hurried. Was he really the right choice? Spinel took a moment to evaluate her options. She was a reconnaissance gem, that much she knew, so which of the two seemed more like someone a reconnaissance gem should report to? Bloodstone had made a big entry, not attempting to hide his presence at all, attempted to intimidate the other gems, and gave them all the option of joining before he left.
More of this choice business. If he was meant to command me, he would not have spoken in such a way. Perhaps there isn't a suitable leader here at all. She considered this some more. While her methodology was also flawed, this Aquamarine was still here, and seemed interested both in learning more about the situation, and also giving whatever information was requested. She had also proven herself to be trustworthy.
"Neither you nor the one you call Bloodstone have done anything in to establish yourself as the leader I'm supposed to be looking for, Aquamarine. After evaluating both of you, I've determined that you are closer to what I was created to serve. I'll stay with you for the time being if you think that's appropriate. However, I must request that you give me more decipherable orders from this point forward, or help me better understand the language you're using. Both you and Bloodstone have asked me to consider what I want, but I'm unable to comply with this order. I don't understand how to want."
