What If Zircon and Phos Had a Heart-to-Heart?
Zircon: Hey, Phos! You’re looking a little more… shiny than usual. What’s up? Been polishing your new rampage routine?
Phos: Ha! You could say that. I’ve been working on getting stronger, but honestly, it’s more complicated than I thought. Every upgrade seems to come with its own set of problems!
Zircon: I get that. I mean, that’s why I’m still a bit worried about you. You always want to take on the big monsters, but what about taking care of yourself? You’re not just a weapon, you know?
Phos: Wow, coming from you with all those shards flying everywhere, that means a lot! But what’s the point of being a gem if I’m not doing something spectacular?
Zircon: Sure, being spectacular is great, but have you ever considered what you want beyond all the battles? I mean, I love how I can help our friends with their flaws. I like being practical, even if I look a bit like a disco ball sometimes!
Phos: You never fail to dazzle! But seriously, I wish I could be more like you—grounded and practical. It feels like all I do is chase after that higher purpose, and I’m getting nowhere!
Zircon: Maybe you need to take a step back. Remember that time I ran into that rough patch trying to help the others? I learned that sometimes, ‘being’ is just as crucial as ‘doing.’ Doesn’t mean you aren’t spectacular just because you take a breather!
Phos: Yeah, I can see that. Sometimes I feel like I’m juggling too many shards, and it’s all going to crash down. Maybe you can teach me your balance techniques?
Zircon: Absolutely! Let’s start with the basics—just breathe! Besides, I bet you’d look fabulous doing yoga. Just imagine: Phos in a serene pose with that killer shine! The Lunarians wouldn’t know what hit them!
Phos: Haha, alright! I’ll think about it. But only if you promise to join me! I’ll need a buddy to monitor my ‘harmony’ levels
Zircon: Deal! Who knew that a little chat could shine some light on things? You’ve got this, Phos. No rush, you’ll get there.
Phos: Thanks, Zircon. You always know how to make things feel less overwhelming. Let’s shine together!
