Observant of what? What am I supposed to be seeing? Are you claiming ALL of these humans are actually gems?
[She gestures angrily to passing people, all of which look PERFECTLY ORDINARY. For humans. If any one of them was a gem, or a gem hybrid, there's no way to tell just by looking from here.
But there is that agate, and she knows what Agates are supposed to be. She reaches for Connie abruptly, but it doesn't seem to be an attack; if she actually catches hold of the girl, she's just going to carefully turn that arm to see the gem a little better, with all the delicacy of someone handling a raw egg. She won't touch the gem itself though, even if she does catch hold. Humans are fragile, and she's not going to break one even if it's claiming to really be a gem.
If she doesn't catch Connie, she's not going to try twice.]
You don't look like an Agate. Where are your markings? Why are you so small?
