blue sandstone's Links
despite having a cold exterior, blue cares deeply for moon and strives to protect them from being taken by the lunarians. they often spend time together studying the flora and fauna of the island, and though they bicker often, it is all in good nature. when moonstone goes to the moon alongside phos and the others, blue feels betrayed; submerging himself in his constellation mapping and studies in order to distract himself from the hurt that overcomes him.
moon sometimes struggles to look past blue's cold exterior - they know that he cares about them, but has this issue where they feel like they just aren't good enough. similar to diamond, they want to match their partner's prowess whereas the other just wants them safe. in their spare time they like to study the flora and fauna of the island together, often accompanied by lighthearted bickering and teasing. long after they part ways and team up with sunny and deman respectively, moonstone eventually leaves with phos and the others for the moon. it breaks their heart seeing the look of betrayal on blue's face, and forever leaves them with a shadow of guilt right behind them. they wish they could have said something, anything to not leave blue in the dark - but they know it could never end well. they live regretting how they abandoned their friend.
is wary of them at first - only knowing them as deman's former battle partner, and he is naturally wary of anyone he doesn't know too well. he sees how well they work with moon (when they work at all), and warms up to them slowly.
always deadpan says out loud what everyone is thinking about blue and deman. likes to tease him with moonstone, sometimes to the point of being nasty, but only because she cares about them both and that they at least have each other when she eventually leaves.
deman and blue team up after getting to know one another, finding that their fighting styles work well together and they are naturally coordinated. this has them spending more time together, typically walking along the beach or stargazing. blue feels oddly drawn to deman and even gives him a big shell he found from the school-wide search for phos in the ocean. he can't pinpoint why he feels so nervous around deman, but to others it's pretty obvious. after moonstone and sunny leave for the moon with phos, he swamps himself with work and deprives himself of rest in order to distract himself from how much he is hurting. this probably worries deman, but they're as productive as ever in their studies together, so in blue's eyes, there is no issue.
deman is worried blue is going to distract him from finding the truth around life on earth before gems - yet he slowly eases into enjoying his company, even accompanying him on stargazing trips. usually pinning his own hair back, he slips one of the pins into blues hair - brushing the bangs aside so he is able to see the stars clearer; telling him he looks as starry as the sky before him. as sunny leaves for the moon, he no longer has a study partner. he indulges blue in his constellation mapping, in return blue helps him on his what seems to be ever lasting truth discovery.
