[ Lapis grits her teeth as Jasper pokes at her, her previous panic very quickly being replaced with irritation and a sharp, tugging pang in her stupid new human heart. As always, Jasper gets under her skin in a way nobody else is capable of. Doesn't she already know the answer to that question? It felt terrible - waking up coughing and choking on the very water she was made to control. To be powerless in her own element just when she was finally becoming comfortable with that very control again was nothing short of devastating.

But she won't yield so easily, either. Even if what Jasper is saying isn't without truth. Jasper's huge compared to her own petite frame, and without any of her former abilities, Jasper could easily overpower her. ]

Just... stop.

[ She sounds tired, and she is. ]

What are you going to do to me in these miserable forms, Jasper? Why? [ She knows why. Lapis knows what she did to her. It's a pointless question of her own. ] No matter what you do, it's pointless. It won't change anything.
