It was! Everything here is way beyond anything I've seen before... [Dia shakes their head in something like disbelief, looking away and around the room as they think about the vast differences in... Well, just about every aspect. The culture shock was huge and on-going.
The question has them turning their attention back on him, smiling brightly as if they're pleased they've connected it. It never occurs to Diamond to bring it up first--after all, the average person didn't go around announcing they were human when that's the default for them.]
No, I'm not! [They shift forward and extend their hand with a grin] I'm Diamond-- Which is also what I am! [Should Dorian take their hand to shake, he'll find that there is no give to Dia's flesh like a normal person's might. In fact, he'll find it's not flesh at all; their hand and arm (and the rest of them) is, well, rock-solid and cold. There's a powder applied to them that won't be coming off, unless he really tries to rub it away, that gives the illusion of skin; their 'nails' are just an unpowdered area for aesthetic purposes.
Despite that, they clearly have long eyelashes, eyebrows, hair... Just, it's all also made of diamond. That...somehow manages to move and be just as malleable as normal hair. Somehow.]
I don't know if we have an official sort of name, but you could call us 'gems'!
