Connie blushes a little bit at the praise. Back on Earth, it had always felt like she'd been doing the bare minimum to keep up with the Gems, no matter how much they praised her or how well she did. She was only human, after all, not an ancient superpowered alien with thousands of years of fighting experience. So no matter how much they praised her own combat ability, Connie felt as thought their words were hollow.

So being complimented for something uniquely hers and able to be compared with the abilities of the Gems felt... fantastic. "T-Thanks," she says. "I, um, just try my best to help wherever and whoever I can."
