Work Text:
Peridot loves to listen to Steven when he talks, fascinated by the things her human companion says and how he says it, once again amazed with humans. Of course, Gems speak too, but with humans (well, Steven is half-human, but he’s still more human than anyone she had met before) she sees their larynxes move their throats, hearing the vibrations of their voices in a way so unlike a Gem’s body.
“Sorry for rambling,” Steven says when he finishes speaking, but Peridot simply shakes her head and smiles, more than happy to listen.
