【 Closed to aurelion 】
From his towering citadel, Aku had noticed an unusual occurrence. Spaceships had been landing on his planet and little alien creatures had emerged from them. He'd ignored them for a bit, until they started infiltrating his mines and scaring his enslaved human prisoners. When he confronted the aliens, they refused to bow to him and claimed to serve only one master – one known as Yellow Diamond. When he attacked them for their insolence, they'd turned themselves into jewels and minerals found within the Earth. It was a curious surprise but Aku suspected there would be more to come.
Then came the day when a great yellow palanquin arrived on his world, and when its doors slid open, Aku made a sudden appearance as if from thin air. He stood tall before the palanquin with hands clasped behind his back, a stern expression set upon his otherworldly features. When he spoke, his tone was low and menacing, the voice of a creature who knew no authority except his own and had no intention of surrendering to even the greatest of gods.
"Yellow Diamond, I presume." Given her appearance and the air of majesty that surrounded her, he'd have to say his guess was correct. "If you have come to rule this world, you shall find it has already been conquered."
The demon puffed out his chest for dramatic effect. Yes, indeed, it had been he who conquered this planet in just a few short decades. And while his reign of evil was still in its infancy, he felt he owned this world and all that existed within.

[Aku's grin seems only to spread. He knows not if he can trust her word but he's certainly confident enough (read 'arrogant' enough) to think he can force his way if necessary.]
I await your delivery, Yellow Diamond. And in the meantime, I have a delivery for you.
[His arm spans what seems like a great distance between them as he reaches toward her with a closed hand. Uncurling his black claws reveals an empty palm, but soon a single gem surfaces as if from thick tar, a small bead of color against the darkness of his hand. Then another appears, and another. Suddenly a small mountain of gems rises from his hand. Unlike the shattered remains of her workers he had left before, these are whole and uncracked.]
I believe these are yours.

But the expression drifts from her face as it is only that, a way to acknowledge his power play. She does not do well with people challenging her authority, whether they were here first or not, but being angry is a lot less leaderlike than complete composure. ]
It is appreciated.
[ She turns to leave. ]
I'll be bidding you farewell, now.

[ Later, he would be given a communication device from a Homeworld ship, allowing him to contact her directly if he wanted-- though the peridot explaining its functions adamantly said it was for emergency disputes only. ]
