[Didn't Amethyst already know how fusion worked? Real fusion, not the broken half-and-half of fighting over the same body? Alexandrite seemed stable enough, but maybe she hadn't been. Maybe the little overbaked gem really had no idea what it should be like.
She'll extend that tiny bit of a doubt. Even traitors should understand fusion isn't about fighting for control against yourself.]
... Last time you encountered me, I wasn't ... myself yet. They were still fighting each other more than fighting you, if they hadn't been I'd be picking your gems out of my teeth. But now I am here, and I don't ever want to be separated. That other one. The Sapphire-Ruby. She'll know what I mean if you need a better explanation, go bother her.
[Maybe a better example would be Sugilite than Garnet alone, but it's the only tenuous offering Malachite will make.
Somehow, somehow Lapis and Jasper came to terms. Enough where they preferred each other over anyone else. Creepy. The rest, about being trapped and unable to leave whether she wanted to or not is noted with a sudden hot surge of fury, but that one she can test just fine on her own.]
