Peridot startles midway through her latest calculation of how best to climb the tree so she can jump down and surprise her- the irony that she is the one surprised wouldn't be lost on her if she knew what irony was. All she has now is the tragic realization that she's had her first fumble of the night. Stars, she cannot be bad at this. She is a Peridot. Peridots demand perfection.

So she pulls herself together and folds her arms behind her back, standing up on her tiptoes to appear taller. "Of course not. I haven't even been here that long myself." She snorts, waving her hand, like she can eradicate the last hour of uselessness with just a gesture. "I was just admiring the tree." The tree? The tree?

She turns a little blue around her cheeks as she looks at Feferi- really looks at her. If she had a heart, it would probably be in her throat about now. It kinda feels that way. Maybe her physical form can adjust more than she thought. "Holy smokes. You look... Great."
