3rd Person P.O.V.

Howard just finished getting back from Homeworld. He is a bit worried about to do when Dominator shows up. Maybe he will succeed, or die.

He has his equipment ready. Yellow's helmet, armor, lower class sequencer, and a blaster that used to belong to Yellow Diamond. Yellow did a good job supplying Howard with the stuff he would need during times like this, and she's the strict one out of all of the four, debating with White.

Now all he has to do is wait for Dominator to show up again. His training, education, and exercising was close to complete but after what happened yesterday, she could come back anytime. He has no time to waste on that stuff when her return could literally happen right now.

Howard was bored, of course. The anticipation was scary at first, but after a good night's sleep, it became dull. Then, he came up with a stupid idea, at least, most people would consider it stupid.

He's going to talk to Moonlight. She already knows him, a little. She threatened him when she showed up at the Palace, the same day she took Steven.

And they last met when he pretended to be Steven and he's still surpirsed that she fell for it. Though, she must've been desperate. He grabbed a chair and took it with him and sat it in front of the cell.

He takes his pink jacket off.

(Moonlight) What are you doing here?

(Howard) I'm just here to talk. I'm bored as hell. So, how have you been while locked up?

(Moonlight) What do you think?

(Howard) Occupied.

(Moonlight) ...

(Howard) ...

(Moonlight) ...

(Howard) ...

(Moonlight) How dumb are you?

(Howard) Yes.

(Moonlight) That's not an accurate measurement.

(Howard) Yes.

(Moonlight) Stop--

(Howard) Yes.

(Moonlight) I mean--

(Howard) Yes.

(Moonlight) [hits glass] QUIT IT.

(Howard) (laughs) Okay, okay, I'll stop.

(Moonlight) If you're going to annoy me, I will dissipate myself to evade you.

(Howard) You wouldn't.

She placed her left hand under her chin and right hand on top of her head.

(Howard) Okay! Chill! I won't piss you off.

She moved her hands away.

(Howard) Look, I just wanna talk.

(Moonlight) What about?

(Howard) I dunno. Anything.

(Moonlight) Is Steven back?

(Howard) No, sadly.

(Moonlight) Are you ever going to tell Steven about Phoebe drinking behind his back?

(Howard) No! No-- How do you know about that?

(Moonlight) I can hear everything in that room. While I can't see what's going on, I know by the sounds.

(Howard) You better keep your mouth shut.
