Despite how stressful the situation was, Pearl was still trying her upmost to summon her inner Garnet (and her inner Rose), in an attempt to stay calm. It was proving to be more difficult than she anticipated. Especially when she catches where Peridot (almost) went with that last thought.
But now wasn't the time or the place. She glanced back at her own moogle. On the one hand, she appreciated her moogle's attention to detail and love of all things symmetrical. On the other, she still didn't fully believe everything that the moogle had told her. How could this world have existed for so long without any of the gems knowing about it?
"We may not be able trust them, but at least we can trust...each other."
Her voice drops noticeably at the last two syllables. She still didn't trust Peridot, but in the face of a world of unknowns, she was the only familiar face. And she did trust Peridot to look out for herself, first and foremost. If what was in Peridot's best interest was getting off of this world, it was what Peridot was going to try to do.
