That doesn't appear to deter them. With their shoes off, Antarcticite takes only a moment or two to mull over whether or not to shed any additional clothing, and settles on their shirt. It is the only one they have, and it wouldn't do for it to be ruined by the sea water. They tug it up and over their head--at which point the sunlight catches on their unpowdered crystalline torso; there's quite the sparkle to be seen there, though nothing near as dazzling as Diamond.
"We don't know what the seas in this area are like," they point out, neatly folding their shirt and settling it beside Rutile's on the rock. They set their shoes down nearby, then turns and step purposefully into the water... which doesn't wash away the pigment on their legs this time. When they meet Rutile's eyes, it's clear that they've made up their mind about supporting their senior in whatever quest they've chosen to embark upon, although standing up to Rutile of all gems is something they aren't yet accustomed to doing. They frown, earnest. "Please, let me come with you--I promise I won't get in the way."
