[Open] She's never tailed anyone before but is pretty sure it can't be that hard
[The big question hanging over everything for Peridot was "now what?"
She was stuck in a big human city, ordered to destroy shadow monsters who may or may not pop out at any time with hypothetical powers she has no idea how to use. Most of her own Gem abilities are gone, she has no need of most of the services in the city, and she can't go anywhere.
So what was she meant to do now?
Her training tells her that if she has no idea AT ALL what to do, then she should gather information...but what would that look like? Tracking someone in the hopes that THEY'LL have a clue?
...Yes, apparently. Well, shards.
Perhaps she could tail a likely looking suspect and watch what they do. See if she can catch them working out their powers. It's just a matter of waiting for someone to come by and follow them for a distance.
Of course, that all depends on someone magic walking by...]

Cam is not above fighting dirty, as they take any shots that present themselves, up to, and including attempting to punch Peridot in the face. They also have the advantage of being small, allowing them to climb all over Peridot as and when they can.
Needless to say, The locals are avoiding the street-brawl. Though some are looking on with disapproval.
Daniel slowly climbs to his feet with the assistance of his cane. All he can really do at this point is watch.]

She struggles to her feet, realizing she's outmatched. The only thing she can do now is run from the scene, except it's highly likely she'll collide with Daniel with the angle she's taken off in. It pays to watch where you're going instead of what you're running from, but who knows what that thing is capable of?]

As soon as Peridot is making her intention to leave the area as expeditiously as possible clear, Cam nimbly detaches themself from her and jumps down to the ground, trotting over to their once again floored companion and watching carefully as Peridot leaves. It is unclear how a small robot with a camera for a head manages to convey menace in a look, but Cam somehow manages to do so.]
