Pearl lets out a little hiss when pricked, though it's more out of annoyance than pain. "Fine," she concedes, and she pointedly jerks her shoulder away from the one officer and places her arm back down on the table.
"Injections... This sort of thing shouldn't even be physically possible," she mutters irritably to herself, glaring down at her own arm while she waits. And honestly that's her real hesitation here: she's never been drugged before, hell, she never even had blood before this. The only injection she's technically ever experienced was the injection of a slurry of raw materials into the ground, thousands of years ago, which would eventually give form to her gem. This is entirely unfamiliar territory and she's more than a little leery as a result.
