[ Tons of years.
That's the amount of time Aechmea had said it would take to rebuild gems from their ground up state— even for the tens and the nines and the eights. It'd taken special persuasion for Cairngorm to even convince him to attempt to rebuild Antarc, not to mention that technology even capable of reviving them had to be invented before this scenario was within the realm of possibility. Suffice to say, it's been quite a long time since that faithful night when they had desperately bargained with even their own agency for a chance at reviving them.
And now Antarc is back. Not that they particularly want to be, apparently, given how Aechmea has them secluded away from the other gems. It's not that they necessarily have compassion for Antarc— like they said back then, they were never fixated on them to begin with— but this is for Phos. All of this will have been for nothing if it doesn't help them protect Phos in the end.
It's not hard for someone like Cairngorm to take after their predecessor and go unnoticed if they have to, slinking right into wherever Antarc is being held. Lunarians don't seem to think guards are necessary— there's not much Antarc could do if they broke out, anyway. So the path to have a talk with them is clear, and Cairngorm has always been the proactive type, ever since they were freed from the passive and meek ways of their sibling. ]
...Hey. [ A heavy, silent beat. ] You're awake, aren't you? Antarcticite.
[ They don't dare peek around the corner into the cell just yet, preferring to stay out of the other's line of sight while they make doubly sure that no one will disturb them. ]
this is fine!
They have a nice enough view out one of the impenetrable glass windows, looking out across a slice of Lunarian cityscape that defies their imagining. Had they seen any of this, they wonder, before they were ground into a fine powder and scattered across the moon's pale surface? How much of their original structure still remains there, supplemented instead by synthetic crystals created by the Lunarians themselves? These are the thoughts that occupy them, their expression bent in a solemn frown, when they hear that unfamiliar voice outside their cell.
They turn sharply, startled and wishing they weren't. Their eyes dart about beyond the bars, but if anyone is there, they can't see them.]
Who are you? Show yourself.
no subject
...I'm the one who was with Ghost Quartz. [ Antarc was at least aware of them and Ghost's double-structure once upon a time, even if they likely never witnessed Cairngorm themself being in control. That should make this transition easier. ] Sensei named me Cairngorm.
[ With a short sigh, they fold their arms over their chest, still keeping their eyes averted. There's still a more important factor of their identity, which is the main reason why they're here, but they'd rather not jump into this conversation without knowing what information they can bring up... ]
Are your memories in tact?
no subject
Then the clarification comes, and,] Ah, [they say--though truthfully, their confusion has not faded much.]
...I believe they are, yes, [they reply to that question, though their words come slowly, cautiously now. They take a careful step nearer to the bars to peer out at Cairngorm, blue eyes looking them over incredulously. Then another thought occurs to them, and they ask, already knowing the answer,] Then Ghost is...?
[Gone, they know. But they'd rather hear it from Cairngorm themselves.]
no subject
[ They both know what they're referring to. Ghost is sprinkled out on the surface of this moon, along with many of their other comrades. Reviving Antarcticite had become a priority above those other gems; not because Cairn wanted it to be that way, but it just...became that way, because of how they'd asked Aechmea. They do feel a little badly about that. ]
It was in the Fall after you got taken. Ghost and I had just partnered with Phosphophyllite.
[ That alone should key Antarc in to Cairn's identity as Phos' current partner, without being too bold about it. They're a forward person, when they have to be, and this was all so Phos and Antarc could be reunited and Phos' mental state would... be better than it has been for the last few centuries. Cairn had been mature enough to accept their role as Antarc-substitute, for Phos' sake and via Ghost's instruction to protect them, but they'd also like to be finally, finally free of this role if at all possible. So, when they ask their next question, it's painfully blunt: ]
Are you not going to partner with them again?
no subject
[Blunt--that's one word for it. One for Antarcticite's response might be thunderstruck. Their blue eyes have grown very wide, and instead of answering the question that Cairngorm presents, they instead step closer to the bars and take hold of them with both hands.]
Is that part of the plan? [they ask, their gaze quickening as they try to make sense of this--of any of this. Of Cairngorm, coming to them this way under cover without any Lunarian guards. They lift their chin some to look past Cairngorm's shoulder, as though seeking out any potential eavesdroppers, before looking to them again. Their expression has grown grave, serious; given a purpose, Antarcticite has always been at their best, and freeing themselves and Phosphophyllite and, yes, Cairngorm, from this Lunarian prison is perhaps the best purpose a gem could ask for.] Phos and I partner together again, to help free us all from the moon?
Are you here to get me out? [There they lower their voice and swallow, struggling to keep hope from showing in their eyes.]
no subject
Hold on, there is no "plan". Not currently. The only "plan" was to restore you, so Phos would be a bit more stable...
[ That's about as blunt as they can put it— they hadn't exactly come up with anything solid past getting Antarc back up and running, since they didn't quite fully believe that anyone would get restored. They're not the type to overthink and dwell on what-if scenarios, no, they see what's in front of them and act accordingly. So now, they're stuck here, watching Antarc come closer to the bars, and they don't reach out a hand.
They're not sure how Antarc will take the information that the gems have been living on the moon for hundreds of years, but given this immediate urge to try and get off the moon, they can only assume it will go extremely poorly. It's better if they explain to them the context of why they're awake to begin with first. ]
That's all. They haven't been well ever since that moon prince told us they could only restore those five and above. [ They cross their arms, looking out of the cell and to the Lunarian cityscape, glistening and waxy against the dark of night. ] So, getting off the moon has not been our focus.
[ Its deliberate that they don't answer the question about whether or not they're here to free Antarc. ]
