• it's over...*

• Blue Zircon thought when Blue Diamond's pearl told her that Blue Diamond needed to talk to her. *

• Zircon sighed heavily and followed Pearl into Blue Diamond's main hall. She and Pearl bowed. Pearl began in a calm, soft voice, "I have brought Blue Zircon's lawyer to you... my Diamond."

Blue Diamond nodded, her melancholy brows furrowed and her eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke.

Blue Diamond: "thank you Pearl, you may go."

Pearl nodded, bowing as she left. "and so..." Blue Diamond began in a serious tone, causing Blue Zircon to tremble as Blue Diamond stood tall in her enormous diamond height. "y-yes, your excellency...what you wanted to t-talk to me about..."

Blue Diamond rested her chin on her blue hand and said, her voice serious even if her tone was soft and melancholy.

"my stones told me that you helped Tartar escape from the rift...do you know what the punishment for that is? your job as a lawyer is in a different sense than helping the guilty. to escape... that was something you weren't supposed to do in the first place. and to do that you need to be separated, and you, Blue Zircon, know full well what the rules are here in Homeworld, in the Diamonds' domain."

• Blue Zircon shook with fear, her stone glowing slightly with nervousness, she knelt down, begging, clasping her palms together, bending her arms at the elbows in a pleading gesture, exclaiming, her trembling palms and forehead sweating with fear and nervousness* "p-please, m-my Diamond! but that stone was so s-small! it's probably not even 1000 years old! please give me a second chance! I've served you for 4000 years and this is all I get?! unravel me?! who will be the Advocate and Defender then?"

Zircon's eyes were wide open in a pitiful plea for forgiveness and mercy, but Diamond insisted on her own way

Blue Diamond: "I assure you, I have more Zircons who can become the new advocates and lawyers who will not break the rules, no matter the circumstances." she said and ordered the Jaspers to split the Zircon
