Painite Here, there, everywhere!
"In part yes - it's less that you're not able to, and more because you have yet to learn how to navigate this place, and how to work safely on your own. We don't want anyone to be overwhelmed or at risk, so we have newcomers stay in the lighthouse with their mentors until they've gotten used to life here." Euclase replied matter-or-factly, to which Rutile nodded, silently agreeing.
"Yes, show us where these soft things came from!" Painite smiles, holding aloft their own plushie. The red gem had been darting around the whole time during the tour, looking down every hallway and trough every open door, enamored by the vast place. After they answered Kunzite's question, they wandered over to walk by their friend, albeit still bouncing with barely-contained energy.
With a smile, Euclase nods and guides them to the crafts room, opening a door to reveal the interior. Painite takes in the sight. It was decorated with cheerful fabric draping over windows, and even a fuzzy fabric-thing on the floor! There were many shelves like back in the lighthouse, but instead of having books and medical tools, there were stacks of ribbons, cloth, and bows, small pointy medal objects attached to rolled-up balls of string, and finished pillows and plushies set neatly to the side. There were a few gems there as well, who greet them when the door opens.
"Here we are," Euclase says to the group, beckoning them inside, "You may look and touch, but try not to move anything too far from its place unless you're using it." Painite rushes inside, watching Kunzite's expression, as they seemed the most excited to know how to make plushies. They found themselves curious about what they would do. Would they make a plushie? Could Painite make one, too, with Kunzite? They hoped so!

Kunzite
Kunzite listened to Euclase's explanation and thought they like two-colored gem a lot. They seemed so smart and so cool. And even thought they said the truth, they were super nice anyway. Kunzite hoped that when they would be ready to go and live in the school, so would be Painite. They wouldn't let them stay alone!
When Painite agreed to their proposition, Kunzite started to bounce together with their friend, holding their plushie tight. They were so happy, Painite liked their idea. They really wanted to know how to make plushies. Maybe they could make a plushie-Painite for Painite? Kunzite thought that would be super cute and their friend would like it.
They walked after Euclase, excited and couldn't wait to get there. When they finally did, their eyes glowed with happiness. The room was so pretty! It had some thing on the floor, that looked soft, and something similar on the windows. Shelves were full of cool and pretty things they even couldn't name! Kunzite wanted to know if they were used to make plushies? They smiled to the gems inside the room. Maybe they would teach them?
They nodded at Euclase's words and went inside after Painite. They looked around, curious about everything. They wanted to ask other gems how to make plushies, but were too shy to do that, so they looked at Painite, looking for their help. They'd probably have to ask their mentors if they could do them as well, maybe they wouldn't like them doing that?

Painite
Rutile notices Kunzite's hesitation and gives a small sigh, endeared by the kid's shy demeanor. "Go ahead," they say, nodding in approval from the doorway of the crafts room.
Noticing their friend had gone quiet, Painite regards them with curiosity, knowing how excited Kunzite was before. "Do you want to play with the soft things in here, Kunzite?" The red gem asks reassuringly, then gently guiding the lavender gem closer to the other gems in the craft room.
"Can you show us how?" Asks Painite to the other gems, determination on their features. They wanted to have fun adventures with Kunzite, and even if nobody would help, they'd somehow figure it out themselves! Even if the many plushie-making tools and components seemed somewhat complicated to figure out...

Kunzite
Kunzite smiled shyly to Rutile, when the doctor encouraged them to do what they wanted to. "Thank you," they said, quietly.
When Painite asked if they wanted to play with the soft things, Kunzite nodded. They were so grateful that their friend understood them even without words. They weren't their best friend for no reason. Kuznite went closer to other gems in the room and thought for a second. "Hello," they said finally and let Painite do the asking.
Hearing Painite's question, Red Beryl, who had gotten to the room much earlier than kids, clapped their hands and stood up from the floor. "Of course! Come here and sit, I will bring all the things!" They said excitedly and started to run around, gathering some materials, ribbons, and needles. "Let's start with something easy, okay?"

Painite
Painite smiled when Kunzite finally approached the other gems, following closely after. When Red Beryl invited the kids to sit, they did, making sure they could have a chair next to Kunzite.
They watched curiously when Red Beryl gathered the supplies for them both, and played idly with the ribbon. It looked so much like the one Kunzite had in their hair - maybe they could make a soft plushie Kunzite? Would they like that? Painite hoped they could do a good job, they didn't want the result to be bad if it was goint to be a likeness of Kunzite, that might make them sad...
"What is all this for?" Painite asked when all the supplies were finally laid out, putting aside their worries for now. Rutile had talked about the importance of listening to instructions before. Maybe if they listened really hard, they'd know how to do it perfectly and wouldn't need to worry!

Kunzite
Kunzite sat next to Painite and watched Red Beryl running around the room and bringing a lot of things for them. They really wanted to know what are these for, but didn't want to disturb busy gem, so instead they turned to Painite. "Isn't that ribbon pretty?" They asked, with a smile. Kunzite noticed that they liked ribbons a lot. "Do you also like ribbons, Painite?" They asked their friend, curious if they shared their opinion on these cute things.
When Red beryl finished and came back to them, they Kunzite just nodded to Painite's questions. They wanted to ask exactly the same thing. Older gem clapped their hands happily and began to explain.
"We will start with making jellyfish plushie, okay? It's easy and fun and perfect for first try! Even Bort learnt how to make them!" They giggled at their own words. "So, first, we need to use scissors to cut the material into the jellyfish shape, like that." They did it easily, having a lot of experience, and gave the shapes to kids. "Okay, now, using mine as example, cut yours. Here are materials, choose what color you would like your jellyfish to be!" They smiled, waiting for kids' decision. Kunzite took dark red one - because it had similar color to Painite and looked at their best friend. "I will make a jellyfish-Painite. Is that okay to you?" Kunzy asked, a bit shyly. What if Painite wouldn't like their idea?

Painite
"Yeah, they're cool!" Painite replies with a grin, glancing at the ribbon they have around their waist. They felt glad that Kunzite and they could both understand what made some things amazing.
When Red Beryl brought the tools, Painite stared at the collection, puzzled. It was clear they were all used for something, but Painite couldn't quite imagine what. Their resolve to listen only grew, despite beginning to fidget in their chair while taking the jellyfish shape with at "thank you," from Red Beryl.
Any gloom the tools might've inspired instantly dissipated when Kunzite asked to make a jellyfish Painite. A plushie that looked like them? Kunzite wanted to make one? Painite began to feel a certain sparkly warmth, but they didn't know what word described it. "Yes, that's okay!" They exclaimed, then ducked their head uncharactaristically shy. "Then... could I make a jellyfish that looks like Kunzite?"

Kunzite
Kunzite was very happy that Painite shared their view on ribbons. They wondered if they could have more ribbons. Painite had a cool one around their waist, but... Oh, what if they gave them tine ones for their braids?! They would for sure look even more cute!
Before they could suggest that, Red Beryl brought a lot of things and they listened to older gem's explanation. They took the shape and watched it curiously. So this piece of material will become a jellyfish? For now they couldn't imagine how would that work, but decided to trust Red Beryl that it worked like that.
Kunzite felt very, very happy when Painite agreed to their idea. That dark red material was perfect and Kunzite decided to do their best to make it look perfect! After all it was a Painite jellyfish. They really wanted to make it pretty. When Painite asked about the same, if they could make a plushie Kunzite, young gem sparkled with happiness. "Yes! I will be very happy if you do so!" They said with a wide smile. Red Beryl giggled, they thought that the kids were very cute. "If you'll need any help, just tell me, okay?" They asked the kids. They wanted to make sure they feel good, it was supposed to be fun for them, not stressful.
Kunzite nodded to older gem and carefully took scissors. They cut the material, using Beryl's shape as a template. Their "jellyfish" shape was not as pretty and was a bit square-ish here and there, but it reminded older gem's one.

"Then, I'll do it!" Painite replied back happily, quieting when Red Beryl began to explain the steps to make their own jellyfish. After intently watching both Kunzite and Red Beryl cut out the jellyfish shape, they eagerly reached for the scissors and shuffled through all the different colors of fabric to find the exact right shade to match Kunzite's beautiful lilac.
They wanted to make it perfect! But as they tried to follow the template as well as possible, even going slower than they'd usually be able to tolerate, their hand wobbled often and the intended bubble shape turned out more wiggly and misshapen than intended.
So they tried again, and again, each focused stroke of the scissors only becoming more and more hurried, as Painite began to let their features fall into something they've never been before - a downcast frown. Something was growing in their chest, that they hadn't known could exist before. It was heavy, and prickly, and they didn't like it much.
"I... don't think I'm very good at this." Painite eventually muttered, defeated and shamed, setting the scissors down with a sad clatter of metal on the stone table. Why couldn't they just make it perfect? Kunzite had made something perfectly cute on their first try! Though, Painite was sure anything Kunzite made would be cute and great like them, because that's just how they were.

This gem can be affected by dragonbreath to capture flame luminosity for a short while. It is not uncommon to see bundles of kunzite hanging from the ceilings of caves in the Dragonhome, used as tunnel lighting for miners and excavators.

Oh my, that's so awesome! I totally missed that this items exists. Now, I need to write a petition for a Painite item too!
Kunzite Deeply worried about Painite
Kunzite smiled to Painite. They couldn't wait to see their friends jellyfish! Kunzite looked at their shape proudly, but then looked at Painite and felt sad. Very sad. Painite was so cool, why would they have a problem with cutting a shape? They looked at Red Beryl with tears in their eyes, but decided to help Painite by themselves, so they robbed their eyes and got closer to their friend.
"Can I help you?" Kunzite asked, "It was hard for me too, you know? But we can try together, what do you think?" They smiled to their friend and took scissors and the material back. There seemed to not be enough of it to make a whole jellyfish, but Red Beryl came with a big new part of the material. Kunzite smiled to them and thanked them and looked at Painite again. "Let's do this together okay? It's no fun doing this without you. And you help me when I need it, I want to help you too."
