Peridot scoops her up, and out of instinct she freezes, because what else is she going to do? She can't really fight off Peridot like this, so if the other Gem just decides to crush her then really, wouldn't she deserve it for how she's mucked everything up?

Except Peridot doesn't do that. Instead, all she feels is irritation and fondness and undoubtedly both are directed at her but she is at least a little relieved to know that Peridot doesn't actually hate her enough to crush her.

Lapis makes a rather muffled sulky noise against Peridot, but also doesn't bother even attempting to push away. Or hug her close, because on Lapis' end, she still feels shame and a little bit of fear as well. Though the fear is less that Peridot will hurt her and more fear that she's still screwed everything up.
