Yellow Diamond turned back to her own screens in disgust. Her own Pearl! Her own Pearl, who she trusted with so much, going off and doing something like this! It incensed the Diamond, making her the kind of angry she usually only snapped out of after she had ground someone to shards under her heel. Still, she didn't want to shatter her Pearl. On the one hand, there was the practical reasons. But on the other, though she would never tell a soul, she held some sympathy for her. She thought back to thousands of years earlier, when she and Blue had had their own secret affair behind White's back... or so they thought. Painful memories surfaced, but she pushed them down to focus on the task at hand.
The lithe Pearl walked to her Diamond, presenting her the cane with outstretched arms. Turning, she bent over, neatly folding herself in half and presenting her already-darkened buttocks. "I illegally fraternized with Yellow Diamond's Pearl. I let this fraternization impact my duties. I lied to you about my relationship with her. I lied to you about my whereabouts. I kept her from her duties. I did not uphold the honor of your court. Please, punish me for my transgressions. Thank you for your guidance and your mercy."
