[Gem affection] part 2.1

So if you're wondering where I've been all week, I caught a fever the day before Rafayel's branch (I think my body's just preparing for the sea god's wrath). Anyway, I rushed through this part a bit, but I made sure Rafayel looks good in every panel 🫡 and I threw in some Lemurian spit for good measure. Also, I'm planning to post my Lemurian research doodle tomorrow since we're getting close to part 3 (where the DP is going to happen)
