      “You know, I’ve been thinking...”

   Using a stick to draw patterns into the dirt, Steven squinted in the dim    light, looking up in order to watch Lars. They were waiting for Rutile to    return from a scouting trip, and trying to pass the time was a little difficult.    Maybe next time he could bring some books or something.

   “You got Lion’s powers with the hidden dimension inside of your hair but...    do you have his other powers too...? I mean, he has a lot.”

     “Lars, could you tell us more about Earth?” 

  The Left head of Rutile had held off on asking questions of Lars   for as long as she could bear, but... gosh, she wanted to know   about the Earth! A planet where they wouldn’t need to hide   sounded too good to be true, and if they couldn’t be there right   now, maybe tales of Earth would suffice!

 “We barely know anything about it, except it was supposedly destroyed.  You mentioned... sea.. gulls earlier, didn’t you? What are they?” Right  Rutile was just as enthusiastic as her twin, and as they walked beside  Lars, their hands clasped together, the smile on both of their faces  was luminous.

Rhodonite moved through the tunnels for one last time, knowing that she would be leaving it soon. The prison they had been forced into; a prison that had been their salvation, would soon be in the past. Her gaze roamed the others, some chatting about plans and ways they could make it to the shipyard. Ways they could escape and grab a ship. If they were lucky; one of the fusions; Fluorite or herself, could unfuse and sneak onto a ship, since their components didn’t look off color at first sight. Rhodonite didn’t like the idea of unfusing, but... knew she’d do it if she needed to.

Her gaze continued to roam until it fixated on Lars, giving him a small sympathetic look. Before she knew it, her legs were taking him over to him. A hand settled on his shoulder, and she crouched. 

“ ... I don’t think I’ve... said this, but we’re really grateful for what you did for us there... ” In all of the excitement, did they even thank him for literally giving his life for them ? She supposed not.

“ ... You look nervous, maybe... talking will help...? ”

Rhodonite wasn’t exactly the most optimistic person, but she was a good listener.

Convincing Topaz to let Lars and himself out of her body hadn’t been easy, but, thankfully, when Steven had pointed out they couldn’t exactly do anything to take control of the ship and how Topaz had access to gem stabillizers if he got too rowdy, she’d relented. She was a lot more rational without Aquamarine around, that was for sure. 

He scooted quietly over to Lars, looking the older boy over worriedly, feeling a pit of guilt already growing in his stomach. This was all his fault --- why did he have to mention his friends to Peridot back then? He didn’t need to do that! Ugghhh, why was he like this? 

“H-Hey, Lars? Are... Are you okay? Like, you’re not hurt or anything, right..?”

       “Oh, hey Lars. Didn’t see you there.” 

   Nudging the door of her car shut, Jenny turned to face the donut shop worker    with an easy-going smile playing at her lips. It wasn’t that she didn’t LIKE Lars,    per-say. He could be pretty alright, but.. he tried too hard, and sometimes..    he could be a bit... much. Still, she was willing to give pretty much everyone    a chance, and Lars COULD be cool to hang out with when he wasn’t so.. tensed up.

        “What’s up? You not workin’ today?”

dauntedonut reblogged for a Sadie starter

@dauntedonut

“See you tomorrow, guys.”

With just a few more rehearsals until the next big show, Sadie Killer and the Suspects needed to be more prepared than ever. It was their first show in Beach City, after all. Rehearsals were over for the day, thankfully, and Sadie was on her way back into town. She wanted to make sure things on Greg’s end of the band things were all good. As she walked, though, her feet carried her back toward the Big Donut.

How strange, she thought. Even though she had quit ages ago, a part of her still kind of missed the familiarity of it. Working shifts with Lars hadn’t always been a dream, but it was kind of nice to think back on some of the better times. Like, for instance, how he used to cover for her so she could watch Canine Court.

“I wonder how it is out in space,” Sadie mused aloud. She was so lost in thought that for a minute she thought she saw Lars from the corner of her eye. Honestly, she almost wrote it off entirely. When she realized that most residents of Beach City didn’t wear capes, though...

“Wait. Lars??”

Her heart skipped a beat as she turned to look fully in his direction. Wow... Steven hadn’t been kidding. He really had turned pink.

daunteddonut reblogged for a Rutile Twins starter

@dauntedonut

Ever since Steven and his friend Connie had left, the twins had been wondering something. When they had been there, they had shown Lars pictures of how a ‘Sadie’ was doing. Lars had seemed very effected by that, too, they had noted. Of course he had. They almost hadn’t been able to retaliate against Emerald because of it. Now that all was quiet again, though... they wondered.

“Hey... Lars?”

The question came from the twin Rutile’s right head. The left was occupied for the moment, but she’d join in soon. Her ‘sister’ knew that.

“Who is the ‘Sadie’ that Steven mentioned?” They couldn’t help being curious. With any luck, maybe Lars would tell them.
