Peridot squinted at him. Oh, she was so not up for this. Not with everything else going on. Not with her head yelling at her worse than Shay had and her insides feeling weird and twisty.

"None of your business," she said, just as hostilely, but in her case it was also a bluff. If it went on for much longer, it'd become clear that her heart wasn't really in it. "And if you want to talk about things being annoying, you should try picking on someone your own size. You mess with me, you're messing with Yellow Diamond, too."

A blatant lie - Peridot had been feeling lost since she couldn't contact the Diamond Authority at all - but hey, what this guy didn't know couldn't hurt him.
