"Look! I made this chart to optimize our chores!" Peridot beams, holding up a meticulously detailed diagram. "We’ll be 20% more efficient!"
Lapis: Lapis rolls her eyes, arms crossed. "A chart? Really? Peridot, we don’t need a system for everything."
Peridot: "But it’ll save time! And I added a section for relaxation, see?" She points eagerly at the chart.
Lapis: With a smirk, Lapis leans closer. "How about you skip the charts, and we just… relax now?" Her tone softens. "You’re cute when you’re like this, but you don’t need to overthink everything."
Peridot: Peridot blushes slightly. "O-okay, I guess I can take a break… for you."
Lapis: "Good," Lapis says, pulling Peridot closer, her guard momentarily down. "I like you best when you're just being you."
