Lars: So, you're telling me that you rode in the escape pod Peridot used to flee the ship?

He looked at Steven, who glanced down and nodded as Lars sighed before turning to the Crystal Gems.

Lars: And you nearly killed him without realizing it wasn't Peridot on board.

They fell silent. While they had intended to poof Peridot, it was actually Steven in the pod. Nonetheless, they did disable the ship, albeit mostly destroyed. With repairs, it could still be functional... Maybe... Hopefully.

Lars: Because it is still early in the morning.

He deftly flipped the omelette and sprinkled some seasoning over it.

Lars: I'll offer assistance when needed, but I won't officially join your group.

Garnet nodded with a slight smile, while Steven and Amethyst cheered. Pearl still seemed uncertain, but Lars had demonstrated capabilities far beyond what humans typically achieve without extensive training.
