[ sensei, what did they do to deserve this punishment... honestly, Sensei probably didn't even think about it that deeply. He's hard to read. In the moment, though, Cinnabar feels pretty annoyed with him. They fidget where they stand, looking for all the world like an animal about to bolt, but there's nowhere to escape to - Phos would definitely just follow them. They're persistent like that. As soon as Phos brings up their idle sculpting - and confirms that yes, they did see it, which makes Cinnabar want to turn to dust on the spot - they stiffen immediately, crossing their arms even tighter, as if hiding their hand will somehow make the other gem forget. ]

I don't! You're so creepy...

[ watching them! without them noticing! creep! that's their excuse! ]

I was just... thinking. [ about Phos. they try to quickly dismiss it: ] Not everything's about you.
