Zircon smiled back when she caught a glimpse of Spinel smiling at her. Seeing people smile, it was actually something made Zircon smile herself. Sometimes out of reaction, but mostly out of thought. Aside from that though, her attention was mostly on this brought up topic of...'[i]training[/i]'. Don't get it all wrong, Zircon doesn't mind training one bit. But of course...the fact that it's [i]Bloodstone[/i] who's offering... The whole thing just felt odd. Especially after today, Zircon wants training more than ever. Anything to get...stronger. Or better. More-or-so [i]prepared[/i]. Yet Zircon was put in a standstill only because of one concern. With Bloodstone being the one who offered and all, would it come off as betrayal in some way if she accepted? To be honest Zircon would like to see what Bloodstone has to offer in this training herself, but if that meant betrayal to everyone else then that was a no go. Well, wait. Spinel did say she would take up the offer, so...it's somewhat different right? Is it? If there were to be an actual truce, then that would be a different story. But it seems like the decision of a truce was left to the gems, or rather a vote on what they think about this offer. In this case, Zircon would prefer to be at least one of the last to vote and probably go with the popular vote. She's passive about this either way. But if she were asked to vote first then she would--

[b]"Well, at least two of us are here, at any rate. So where do you stand on this, Zircon?"[/b]

...That [i]irony[/i]. From hearing Spinel's voice directed towards her, Zircon broke out of her deep thought. She didn't answer right away; of course she had to think about her answer for a few seconds. She looked to Spinel before glancing towards Aquamarine and Johnny, and then looking back to Spinel before her gaze naturally wandered to the side. She was somewhat sheepish for a bit, but not for long enough to hear it in her voice. Her arms loosely half-wrapped around herself, "Honestly, I'm passive...but if I were to give a direct answer..." Zircon caught herself suddenly pausing for the slightest second and tried to make herself keep going. She wanted to think just a [i]little[/i] more but she didn't want to keep them waiting. "Depending on what everyone else says, I wouldn't...mind giving it a [i]try[/i]..." Zircon's head was still slightly to the side, her gaze somewhat downcast towards the ground. 

Her head wasn't lifted up until the voice of someone else's presence was heard--a new voice. When Zircon looked towards him she slightly adjusted her footing, probably by not even a lot to be noticeable. Wait. Hold on. Is that another gem? Zircon listened to him say 'Why am I alive'. Another newborn possibly? Just a guess. Zircon would speak up and say something, but...she's not exactly sure what this new gem is going on about. Or rather...what's going on with him in general considering whatever made him trip to the ground. She's not exactly sure what to do...if there even is anything she can do.

...This isn't going to be another moment where Zircon feels helpless again, is it? We're probably just going to have to wait and see.
