[Two gems and... a young man?

Oh look, Lapis almost visibly cheers up, a little.]

You mean Steven?! You know Ste... [Ah, wait. A little gasp escapes her as she brings her hands to her mouth.

If it is Steven, cause really how many human males are hanging out with Gems?!]

[onlytwoexpressions]

[Magnus puts his hands up again.]

Yes, his name is Steven and he is doing quite well. Thriving really.

As are Miss Pearl and Miss Garnet.

[riptidequeen]

Of... of course he is.

[Well, Lapis seems to be a bit less on guard now that it's confirmed Magnus knows Steven.]

... I'm Lapis Lazuli.

[onlytwoexpressions]

It's a pleasure.

You have no need to fear me. As I said, my name is Ultra Magnus and I've taken it upon myself to serve and protect the citizens of Nautilus.

Welcome.

[riptidequeen]

[Slow blink once he's done talking.]

... No wonder you've befriended the Crystal Gems then.

[She's more talking to herself there, but whatever.]

[onlytwoexpressions]

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning, Miss Lapis Lazuli. [Yes he will use your full name.]

[riptidequeen]

[You're weird, Magnus.]

They... Hm, they have a lot of faith in Earth and protect it.

[onlytwoexpressions]

[I get that]

Yes, that is true. We have a very like-minded mission.

If you don't mind my asking...what did Earth do to make you loathe it so much?

[riptidequeen]

I...

[She's wrapping her arms around herself now.]

It's personal.

[onlytwoexpressions]

I understand, I will not pry.

Would you...like me to take you to Steven and the others?

[riptidequeen]

No!

[That came out too quickly, and too angrily.]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Alright, alright...!

Hrm. A tour then? To get you better acquainted with the city?

[riptidequeen]

[A... tour? Oh, like when Steven took her around Beach City when she was a mirror. But...]

Is there a beach around here?

[Lapis wants to test something, but she needs water. A lot of water.]

[onlytwoexpressions]

Yes, there is.

I'll take you.

[With that, he transforms and opens his driver's side door.]

Hop in and buckle up, Miss Lapis Lazuli.

[riptidequeen]

[And she's staring at Magnus.

And not getting in, how does she know this isn't a trap.]

Uhm, I can walk.

[onlytwoexpressions]

It's a fair ways away.

[Magnus wiggles his side view mirrors like ears.]

[riptidequeen]

[Da fuq, Magnus.]

That's fine.

[SERIOUSLY SHE'S NOT GETTING IN YOU, MAGNUS.]

[onlytwoexpressions]

[He transforms again.]

Then...I'll escort you on foot.

...At a reasonable distance, of course.

[riptidequeen]

Of course.

[But she's not going to move, since Magnus is the one who knows where the beach is.]

[onlytwoexpressions]

[He sighs and turns, heading towards the East.]

[Every so often, he turns to make sure she's still following.]

You're not exactly the trusting sort, are you.

[riptidequeen]

[Just gonna follow him, walking briskly all barefooted and stuff.]

And? Being too trusting can just get you into horrible trouble.

[onlytwoexpressions]

Well...your logic is sound. I can't argue that fact.

I don't trust very easily myself.

[riptidequeen]

... And yet you trust the Crystal Gems.

[onlytwoexpressions]

Because I've been the caretaker of a human myself. It's far from the easiest thing to adapt to, but doing so shows the capacity for a great deal of love, compassion, and duty.

Three things I respect with all of my spark.

[riptidequeen]

[Ha. That's kind of funny, Magnus.]

They weren't always like that.
