She blinked.
Her pale gaze focused on the Quartz warrior standing in front of her.
An Amethyst, she identified, glancing at the gemstone's hexagonal cut and the shade in purple. "Off-color," she muttered to her Pearl, who quickly typed that down.
"Should it be broken, Pink Diamond?" a Peridot asked, her eyes barely revealing anything, just mild pity for the defective Gem. "Or-"
"No, she will live." She paused. "Is..." Trailing off, she paused to recall this Amethyst's cut. "Is Amethyst facet Five cut 4XN capable of fighting?"
"She should be, Pink Diamond." The green Gem saluted to her.
"Then send her wherever she's needed to fight."
"Yes, of course, you are merciful, Pink Diamond."
"Maybe," she muttered, laughing just a bit. "I just know not to waste Gems capable of fighting." She glanced at the small Gem. "Have your Agate inform Yellow-" She stopped, not used to referring to the other Diamond by her full name, rather than simply "Yellow." Her full name seemed too formal. Less... friendly? Maybe that was the word she was looking for? "... Inform Yellow Diamond of new Gems from Facet Five, in the Prime Kindergarten."
"Of course, Pink Diamond."
"That will be all."
The Peridot walked away.
When the gem was out of sight, she looked down at her Pearl. "Pearl, inform Blue of the protest at the arena over this planet's southern ocean. Ask her to send a unit of Agate to assist my troops."
"Anything else, my Diamond?"
A small, loving small grin appeared in her face. "Tell her I love her." Her face shifted to a cold frown. "That rebellion must be stopped. I'm needed elsewhere in the Kindergarten." She picked up the small Gem, who looked surprised as she send the message to the other Diamond.
She walked towards her palanquin.
