but that little suggestion, meant to be positive, is the first thing that gets Lapis to tear her far too intense stare away from the other gem and look off into nothing. there's a soft change in angle to the hitch of her shoulders that makes them seem more defensive than barely restrained aggression.]
...it doesn't work like that. People don't just come through because you want them.
[there's absolutely no way that she's going to admit this to a Crystal Gem, but Lapis knows her fortunes quite well at this point. she doesn't need a precognitive ability to know that she's never going to be lucky enough to see Steven tumbling through that stupid porter. it would be too much of a gift.]
