“You are so beautiful, my heart aches to hold you once more. My hand craves to hold yours. I wish to be engulfed by your warmth, to be by your side.”
“To be in your arms once again would be a dream come true. Lady Luck must be playing a long, cruel joke, no?”
“I’m so very sorry, Miss Sapphire, I wish I could have been somewhere else, anywhere else.. you could have still been alive if not for me.”
"Father Jupiter is quite.. Peculiar. I do not believe he ever wished to run a reef. When younger, I remember having to carry him from the observatory on a near daily basis. Even to this day, I find stashed bottles of his preferred liquor.. (sigh) Nevertheless, I do believe he does cares deeply for Quasar... If not the reef, then most certainly the residents. (sigh)"
"Ether was one of my first successful pearls. While their height was...unexpected... I do not regret them in the slightest. (yawn) I remember getting the most adorable organic creature when they were younger.. what is it called... oh. A cat. I believe they named it Metis? Such a funny name. (yawn) Perhaps I should gift them another?"
"My pearl is quite.. judgmental of others. Could I share a secret? Delightful! Lean down a tad, darling.. He has a habit of sneaking off, to visit a friend of his, (chuckle) I'm certain he believes I am unaware of this; but I know quite well. It's so very lovely, though. To know Dreamer indeed has friends, outside myself.. Ah, I've gotten off track, haven't I? Apologies, Dear."
"Miss Sapphire? Don't let how his constant crying fool you. After so long by his side, I assure you she has xyr own chest full of secrets... (scoff) Don't act like I'm going to tell you them! I'm still her pearl after all, you clod. Outside of that, I suppose he's.. okay. It's much better than being left to rot. However.. Ever since I've begun serving xym, I haven't been able to stargaze with Neptune as much as I'd like... and I have begun carrying more handkerchiefs than before.. (huff) Nevertheless, I suppose there are many worse gems to serve under. All my complaints are simply superficial, after all."
“I care so very much for Star, I’ve seen him put himself in dangerous situations so many times, I wish to repay him, someday. I fear, though, that I will never be able to repay such a kind action. It always feels so saddening when I weep near him. I know it certainly must be difficult to deal with my..outbursts? Is that the correct word..?.. (sigh) Nevertheless, I do hope that I am not too much of a burden on him.
…On a brighter note, I cherish every moment by his side. It’s like all the fretting over the future disappears, and I am able to enjoy the present. I hope to spend the foreseeable future with him.. even if fate does not allow such a thing."
"Miss Sapphire has to be one of the coolest assignments ever! You know, I always get sad when she cries. Maybe it's my fault for being one of those empaths (laugh), but the feeling gets to me so quickly. I wish I could be a better ruby and light up her days. However, it doesn't feel like I'm doing enough. At least xe doesn't sob as much, right? Yeah, I think so. And, I don't know... I- uh, right. The husks thing. I don't really mind that, the cracks I mean. They're helping keep his safety, right? And so, I don't have to worry. That's /my/ job. I'm a guard, not a jester... I forgot about that. My memory's been terrible lately. But, the point that I wanna get across is that she should always be safe! And I will be a worthy sacrifice if needed, hmph. The label of sapphire and xyr guard is too tight. I wish we could call each other friends. Wish we could call.. Yeah, friends."
“Mykel! Oberon! I’m scared!”
“Ah.. Thebe.. good afternoon.. I’m happy to see you are doing well. I’d like to-.. oh.. oh goodness.. please do not cry..”
“Good morning, Miss Sapphire, I do hope you rested well.. here, I know you quite enjoy your friends cooking more than my own.. but given how I’ve been awake quite some time; I thought making the reef some breakfast would be quite nice. It’s strawberry and banana crepes.”
“Oh! Good morning, dear, I see you are up quite early.. did you not rest well?.. I foresaw the kitchen going aflame and was rather worried..”
“Do you love me?”
“Not even your nacre can love you. Why believe I can?”
"Oh, hello my little Starlight. Tell me, what's been troubling you recently? Oh, it's their words again? Please, do not be afraid. They're foolish. A true pearl stays strong and resilient through their struggles, hm? But it is okay to cry. Nobody is perfect. However, we can do things to fix it. Remember, nothing can be as we want it to be. This universe awaits things that can never be predicted. Now, darling, come here. Hug me if you wish."
"Mykel- do you think I'll be as brave as you? I wanna be just like you!.. Could I have a hug, pretty please?"
"Ether, I'm sorry you had to see me grow out of that "edgelord"-- that was the word, yes? Edgelord? Edgelord-- Phase."
"I don't get all of this dumb reef stuff! You're all too kind and stick to the old stuff. I've seen reefs way better than this, hmph... Although I have to admit, I miss it... Since I'm in Feathers right now and my stay with Cerise will last a while, I shouldn't worry! Stars, even better I don't have to look at their annoying faces..."
"It's such a shame many visitors judge by appearance alone. Thebe is such a lovely child, and deserves the best gems can offer. While Quasar cannot fulfill this; given we are just a simple reef, floating on a rogue planet, I try my absolute best to give her and every other inhabitant the best life possible.
That being said; Thebe is much like a moon. She has a habit of running circles around my legs, whenever I am making hot chocolate for her.. or any other treats for that matter. I believe Father Jupiter would be very proud of the bonds she had made."
"Ether is really quiet...but that's okay! I really like how they smell, it's like a big fuzzy hug!! I also really like playing with their hair!! Oh!! And their choco cakes! Sometimes, if I ask reaaaaally nice, They let me have the whisk and bowl!!"
“Oberon is the bestest story reader!! And their hair is super pretty!! I always fall asleep before he finishes stories, though… Oh! And he teaches super fun stuff!! Like- it’s really mean to hurt other gems, even if they hurted you first!”
Io is the bestest!! I love love love going on adventures with her and Cally!
