The silence falls over them again, and Greg's not sure what to say next. Talking to Garnet's gems is... nice, in a deeply melancholy sort of way, but he knew it may as well be talking to himself. The mirror on the other hand, despite literally being talking to himself... if it can hear him, it's different.
"Um... Thanks for being a good listener. It can't be easy, not being able to talk back."
Aside from... screaming. That's pretty good evidence for why it would keep quiet until now. "I guess you've seen some pretty rough stuff, in your time." He glances out the window, to the temple looking over the beach. "The Gems never did take things easy."
He shakes his head. "I guess... this probably isn't where you expected to end up. Beard trimming and hair brushing is probably a step down from whatever magical stuff gems get up to, but I hope it's... a relaxing break, maybe." The Crystal Gems had never seen much benefit to relaxing;it wasn't exactly a Gem thing, and an object wasn't likely to feel any different. But, it was the best he could offer.
