While the whole situation of who to go with had not become any clearer, today Howlite had learned a very important fact about her kind that neither her inherent knowledge or the kindergarten had told her. Gem where apparently really fond of shouting. First Seraphinite, then the crystal gem Cavansite, Clinohumite and even little Marnie all created a massive ruckus that echoed through the cavern. Through it all Howlite just stayed back, putting one of the legs of the spiderbot in between her and the rest in case things kicked off. The leg was probably not the safest place to hide, but she took some reassurance from the feeling of size she got when she linked into its systems, looking down at the gems through its mechanical eyes rather than up through her own. 

She tried to block out the noise till final part of Marie's heartfelt speak caught her attention. 

[color=A7E6EC]”The in the past? You have no idea how much these two groups hate… actually you're both being remarkably civil about this whole thing. I was under the assumption Clinohumite’s violent attitude was the status quo. What on earth has happened since we were inserted into the ground all those thousands of years ago?”[/color]

Not that barely veiled threats and spitting bile at one another was the height of polite conversation but they weren't instantly trying to shatter another which was an odd state of affairs if they were still at war. Tugtupite even offered to leave anyone who wanted to stay with the crystal gems without contention. It was bizarre.
