Green Tourmaline sat across the campsite from Pink, his confidante & partner in battle. They had been outskirting this new city for a few days now, unable to find a safe way in without attracting any unknown Gems. As a rule, they sent their “unsafe” nights camping out with a warm fire. “This is nice...away from the General...right?” Green asked Pink in a test of sorts. He’d always known that Pink preferred stability while he personally fought for his own personal freedom...but he knew that Pink had stayed with him for a reason. He sighed & turned around, ready to fall asleep.
Pink gritted his teeth. He’d wanted to agree, to reassure Green, but...there was too much uncertainty. About his own future. Time was running out for the two of them, & he wasn’t certain if he liked it that way or wanted it to stop. A sound from the city’s limits caught his attention, & he summoned his musket to stop to intruder. “HALT!” At the same Time, he signaled to Green, & the ninja gem instantly flew towards him until a much taller gem, wielding a blunderbuss, stood before the unknown intruder. “State your name.” Watermelon Tourmaline demanded.
