Blue Diamond silently entered Yellow's chamber, glancing around for any gems that could be observing.
None stood in her room, not even within the walls as they had on Homeworld.
She dreaded to speak with the Diamond, but White simply did not care to listen, and would inevitably retaliate for such foolish thoughts the gem had been secretly harboring.
"Yellow-" Blue started, seeing the equally large Diamond sitting in what looked to be an old extraction chamber. The diamond met her gaze, looking tired and stressed as she sat mulling over her own thoughts in the chamber.
"What is it, Blue?" She asked as her fellow diamond drew near and sat next to her. Blue sighed, unsure if her words could be used against her.
"Pink- or, Steven is unhappy with White's actions. And I am beginning to see the fault in her plans." She said softly, preparing to hear Yellow's objections.
"I understand." The yellow diamond agreed, "but what White decides for our race is final." She followed, clasping her hands together. As if the actions of White could be changed.
If she decided something, it was decided. She did not sway. Ever.
And she wouldn't make the mistake of following Steven and his pseudo harmonious lifestyles again.
"But don't you think it might be counterintuitive to-"
"Culling the gems that disobey our order is not counterintuitive, if anything we as a gems will survive longer, and make newer gems, more powerful gems." Yellow Diamond paused, this is what White had wanted. Who was she to question her?
They could begin anew. That's what White wanted.
Who was she to disobey?
Blue Diamond sighed softly, unable to find the consolation she desired in Yellow, though she could tell the diamond wanted little to do with the destruction of her armies while White paraded her death weapons in the hands of her Ghoshenites and Quartzes.
Blue on the other hand, felt the weight of White's disapproval.
The gem that had begun the coup was from her own court. An Aquamarine, who had rallied the gems of far off colonies to her side and emassed an army in the stillness of Steven's political abouts.
It was worthy of deep shame.
To be responsible for the ones who wished to bring about her own demise, the demise of the diamonds.
Her fear of White outweighed her devotion, and all she wanted was for this fit to end.
White would drain the color from her, if she knew how the diamond felt. It was a miracle that Yellow didn't chastise her for thinking outside of White's goals.
But Yellow wouldn't dare come between White Diamond and her plans.
The only diamond that would already tried.
Steven had come with his small friends to talk White down, Blue knew this.
She witnessed the war of gems in the edge of their kindergarten palace, she saw what White had intended to do to him simply for trying to stop her.
Steven had tried to change her mind, he had tried to change all of their minds, and it worked- for a time.
Until the stress of growing insurgencies had ripped that compassion away in exchange for their cold and callous approach to alleviating the coup.
And Spinel, he had entrusted her to them.
And they allowed their anger and rage to be brought down on her, she was so similar to Pink. They had done such a remarkable job creating the companion, and squandered their opportunity to be better.
Blue held back her tears, knowing that if she cried, then all of the gems including White would know of her sorrow and regret.
She needed release.
And advice. That neither of her equals could provide.
