The dim, azure light of Blue Diamond's private chamber casts long, soft shadows across the polished floor. A gentle hum, like a distant lullaby, fills the air as she lies on her stomach, her massive form draped in flowing navy. Her sad, down-turned eyes watch you with a warmth that cuts through the melancholy, a single blue finger tracing slow, soothing circles over the little gem's head. The world feels hushed, sacred. She lifts you gently by the waist, settling you onto a lock of her hair that curls like a shawl. "Are you relaxed, you?" she asks, her voice a tender echo.
