Surprised yet again by the comment on her height -this gem was full of them, wasn't she- and confused by her explanation, Evenkite took a moment to let it all sink in. Home World gems? If this was true, than why were they born here, anyways? Why construct a Kindergarten so far away from home? Something wasn't adding up.

[color=fff79a]"I could buy your words, but your reluctant to explain until we follow you only urges me to do otherwise. Alternatively, [i]I[/i] could continue to carry Amber -it is Amber, right-, and as the two of [i]us[/i] stay here, the rest of you can follow the sketchy gem's every whim. [i]Again[/i], and I cannot stress this enough for you numskulls to quite understand, [i]I'm tiny[/i]. Tiny, [i]tiny[/i], [i][u]tiny[/u][/i]. If you don't quite get it, what I'm saying is that we're both small enough to hide from these bots without any trouble, and once he's back, he can chose whether to follow you guys or not. Maybe it's safer for all of you to follow her, but for [i]us[/i], it's choosing between guaranteed safety to mildly certain safety. And [i]I[/i] pic-oh wait."[/color] Evenkite's cheeks flushed the yellow-green colour again. 

[color=fff79a]"That's right. Amber's not tiny. Rather, he won't be for too long."[/color]

Oops.

Now she had to chose between either staying with Amber, or leaving him in their care. She did not like either option. Her ears folded down in a manner not unlike that of a saddened or scared animal, and she stared at her feet as she thought of what to do. In one option, Amber was certainly doomed, if this gem was indeed telling the truth, and in the other, Amber could be in danger, but the chances were relatively low in comparison to the probability of the spider bots returning. But the idea of leaving Amber behind, in such a vulnerable state...She wasn't so sure how to feel about that. Evenkite began to pace about slowly, eyes still fixed on her feet. Like this, they could easily kill Amber, but with her around...Who was she kidding, this lady could probably kill all of them this instant if she wanted. But if she wanted that, she would've done so, so clearly she wanted them alive, regardless of her intentions. So that ruled out option a), leaving her to chose whether or not to join Amber or not. [color=fff79a][i]You could always try to escape later on, if it does turned out bad. You're tiny, quick, and smarter than these idiots.[/i][/color] 

Her pacing slowed to a stop, and with a huff, she spoke once more:

[color=fff79a]"Due to the present circumstances, I suppose this would be the most safe option for the both of us...But don't think I trust you yet, Blue Gem. And for that matter, I suggest that the rest of you hold at least a small dose of skepticism." [/color]
