It's... sort of hard to argue with that. Peridot has effectively disarmed her completely, and now she has no idea how she's supposed to be reacting to this.

Well. Peridot already told her that she likes her. And she did say it's not just a moon thing, though she did say it was making her feelings more than usual?

Lapis can't help but worry all the same. "I just... I like you too, Peridot. I don't want to ruin what we already have by wanting more? And I don't even really know what "More" is. I guess it's like that I want to be like Garnet with you, but not.. Entirely?" She's babbling, she knows, and her shoulders hunch nervously. "Not the fusion thing, though, obviously."

That's just a little too much right now. And besides that, they couldn't anyway. Not here.
