Steven wakes up from his dreams, or his nightmares you should say.
He keeps thinking about what he saw. the lifeless beast of bones.
He cast the thoughts from his mind and looks around to see ordis. he's standing right next to him.
Steven: did you watch me sleep all night?
ordis: yes, you were having nightmares so I watched over you to comfort you.
Steven: oh, where are the others?
Ordis: they went on a mission, they'll be back shortly.
Steven: hey I just realized, you never met lapis! Cmon let's go to the barn
He grabs his hand and runs down the stairs with him.
Steven and him make his way to the barn. They get there but don't see lapis. they do however see peridot
Steven: peridot!
she hears him and makes her way towards him.
Peridot: Steven! what are you doing here.
Steven: I brought ordis to meet lapis, he's never met her.
Peridot: him? that's odd for a gem, another defective gem I supposed.
Ordis: I'm not defective! Just old and out dated.
Peridot: what does that mean.
She says giving him a glare.
Steven: where lapis peridot?
Peridot: she's watching camp pining hearts in the barn. We're on season 4 episode 2 already! We're about to start episode 3!
She says excitedly and runs back to the barn.
Steven and ordis follow her.
they see lapis up on the truck bed on the barn.
Steven: lapis come down, I want you to meet somebody!
Lapis heard him and she smiles
Lapis: Steven?!
She sees him and immediately flies down to him.
Lapis: what are you doing here?
Steven: I brought a friend for you to meet!
she looks at ordis who does a little wave at her.
Lapis: who's this?
Steven: he's a gem we found in a mountain. He was stuck there for who knows how long trapped in a wall.
lapis: you were trapped too, I know how that feels. It's a dreadful and crushing experience.
Ordis: not really, barely an inconvenience
He retorts
Lapis gives him a strange look that is surprised, confused, and a little insulted.
Lapis: how long were you there?
Ordis: how long have the gems been on the planet.
lapis: over 5000 years.
Ordis: far longer than that
Lapis: were you conscious.
Ordis: completely! For the entirety of that time I was stuck in the wall.
Lapis: how was that not a horrible experience for you!?
Ordis shrugged.
Ordis: it's not the first time it's happened to me.
