Yellow Pearl let out a stifled giggles as Pink Pearl spoke of Pink Diamond’s ball. The Pearl would of neve said it, but she thought that the Balls were unnecessary, keeping Gems away from their duties. However she still found herself finding some enjoyment from them, all those Gems dancing in unison and even conversing with eachother, even Yellow Pearl was able to talk to a few Gems outside her close group of colleagues. It was a shame to think that one day they would have to end, Pink Diamond would have to grow out of her childish habits and such nice things would have to cease.
Yellow Pearl smiled and nodded, letting out another silent chuckle. She cupped her hand and glanced at Pink Pearl. “Indeed, Yellow Diamond has thousands of colonies across the entire universe. It’s quite hard to administer them all, but Yellpw Diamond has me and this gives me the bulk of the work while she focuses on more important things.” Yellow Pearl states proudly, placing her hand on her chest. Though it would of been extremely tedious for anyone else, Yellow Pearl found an odd sense of pride and joy from the administration of Yellow Diamond’s innumerable colonies.
Yellow Pearl sighed and stared at Pink Pearl and slowly shook her head. “It’s a shame that Pink Diamond doesn’t have any colonies yet. It would provide a perfect learning experience for her, and of course the continuation of our imperialist policies.”
“Oh… my diamond does want a colony,” Pink admitted, though her voice was soft. She knew how badly Pink Diamond wanted to be treated like the other diamonds. It just was a matter of figuring out how to make that happen. She could only say so much. For as close as she and her diamond were, Pink didn’t claim to know every aspect of the diamond. Nor did she claim to know how Pink Diamond thought.
“You know how she is,” she went on. “The other diamonds are so busy, she hardly gets to get a word in. At least… that’s what she’s told me.” That was when Pink Diamond wasn’t in her room and making more of those little pebbles to talk to. The times were few and far between, but she’d heard her diamond talk like that. She wished she could do more to help. All she could do was listen to her diamond.
“But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk about her,” Pink said. “I’m sorry. I must sound foolish, going on like this.”
Yellow Pearl was silent as she purses her lips, tapping her chin with a small hum. Of course, Yellow Pearl knew all these things to be true from her own personal experience and from what information her Diamond gave her, which was actually quite surprising. Yellow Pearl didn’t think much about it though, Yellow Diamond’s comments about Pink Diamond to her Pearl were more than likely ways for the matriarch to “vent”, the stress wasn’t solely in Pink Diamond, it had manifested in all of the Diamonds, even the stoic White Diamond. Of course, the head Diamond hid her thoughts very well, so well in fact that Yellow Pearl herself doubted even saying that White Diamond so much as cared. It was as if they were waiting for something, anticipating some future event, but Yellow Pearl couldn’t even begin to think about what exactly the Diamond was possibly thinking about, and the Pearl hoped it wasn’t too big.
Yellow Pearl cleared her throat and shook her head very lightly to get herself back on track. Placing her hands on her hips and shook her head. “Oh, no, no. It’s fine, please unload all of your burdens on me.” The Pearl stared, letting out an amused huff and crossing her arms. Then the Pearl sighed, letting out a small amused chuckle as she began to speak up again. “It’s fine.. speak freely. I mean it.”
