Peridot isn't sure what she thinks about this new idea of magic. After all, Gem abilities are things humans would consider magic, but that's not the word she'd use for any of it. She'll have to see how this plays out before she can make any decisions, though. Being taken away from her newfound home and friends is something that brings up mixed feelings, as well, and with all that uncertainty, Peridot is uncharacteristically subdued for most of the trip.
After a while, though, she takes out her tape recorder, hits the red button, and begins to speak.
"Log date... 7 16 2," she starts, continuing - after brief hesitation - with the date from back on Earth. "I'm on something called an airship, and the name is misleading. You'd think it was similar to a spaceship, but this is far less advanced than I had hoped."
Thaumaturgy 101
Peridot tends to act confident in her abilities, but she also tends to be stubborn. Being a student feels somehow inherently insulting, even if she did agree to this. Fortunately, this stubbornness provides a good cover for her uncertainties. What if she's really bad at magic? The concern holds her back, leaving her gnawing on her wand as the others in class set to work.
Then she seems to realize what she's doing with the wand, and she makes a disgruntled sound as she drops it on her desk. "What am I doing?" she sighs.
