"So, Zircon. You and that pearl are the last of Red's court, correct?" Orange Diamond impatiently tapped her finger on her cheek, awaiting a guilty verdict.

           "Well... Actually, My Diamond, there is one more pearl that couldn't be present today..." He hastily saluted the eight-- no, seven diamonds in front of him, "Otherwise, yes."

           Purple gave a look of disgust. "You are to be shameful, are you not?" He buried his head in his fore arms whilst keeping his salute. He wasn't ashamed, he knew of his innocence, but did not dare defy her.

           Yellow Diamond held up a square shape made with their hands to their eye, as if to take a mugshot. "It's not everyday the defense is a suspect y'know," Yellow snickered like a child, "you have a disadvantage there, conman!" Yellow swung their feet and cackled wildly, the sight and nickname made Zircon twitch with irritation.

           Red Pearl sat on the floor, struggling to breathe steadily. If only he could talk to the other pearl, of which she had never met, maybe he'd get more information. That'd be a difficult task nonetheless, with them being in a bubble and all...

           She failed to hold in a sob as hot tears rolled down his face. If only things had been different. Maybe if she was never made for Red... Maybe if he was never--

           "That's enough," a voice boomed from the back of the room, hidden by shadows, silencing any mutter or murmur, "Let's get this over with."

           Zircon cleared his throat, how in the diamonds' name was he to explain this to, well, the diamonds! He sighed and shifted his stance to be more professional.

           "In the defense of Red's Pearl;
Red's Zircon, and against them both; me."
