Pearl happily went along with her new made friend, little thoughts collecting in the back of her mind. Were there others? How many? Thinking about other rebels like her being out there, uncorrupted and unbroken made her also think that maybe more homeworld sided gems would be out there too.
Seeing tge suddenly defensive human made Pearl jolt... a shove,? A human? Training?! Perhaps this was much like how she had trained Connie. Allowing a human to seep into the world of gems could be dangerous if not handled carefully. "I'm Pearl." She introduced herself with a bow, "A friend."

long ago, there lived a knight... Aragonite smiled a wide, toothy grin. "Yep, back in one piece!"
"Mmhm," she nodded at the human's enthusiasm to get going. It was no secret that she enjoyed training her and passing on her skills, even if she would exist until shattering and her friend would cease existing long before her. Morbid thought, but after losing Sodalite, she often thought of how long it was until she lost someone else.
It didn't take a genius to realize, even without sight, that a shovel was being raised in hostility. "Whoa, whoa, this is Pearl. She's a Crystal Gem, like us! She was friends with Rose, the Gem who saved me."

if you want it you fight for it Maria frowned, but listened to her mentor. At the word 'friend', she reluctantly lowered her shovel. "Pearl." She nodded, as if to herself, though she was still facing the Gem. "A friend. ...Is she going to stay?" Maria asked, curious but no longer hostile. She offered what she hoped was a friendly smile to Pearl, and hoped that the Gem wouldn't hold her hostility against her.
It was a dangerous world, moreso when you were a fifteen year old human girl fighting corrupted Gems from far-off space. And, admittedly, Maria was still somewhat apprehensive of most Gems. What if she woke up and all of this was just a dream, and that necklace was shattered on the floor before her - the last treasure of her mother? She shook her head. Even if that was true, she needed to focus her emotions on the present. Besides, anything could be a threat - she had to be on guard, not lost in thought.

Pearl smiled happily as the human lowered her weapon, "You look about Steven and Connie's age, impressive." Came her light praise, "I don't plan on staying but I plan on visiting often, and you both can visit too, using the warp pads." She chimed and walked past Maria, unphased by the pervious threatening shovel wielding.
"I'm surprised you haven't before, one of the warps is inside our home."

long ago, there lived a knight... "Oh, those weird crystal things? Never used one. I kind of assumed they were all inactive," Aragonite replied. It was true. Those warp pads, as they were called, gave her a strange feeling compared to normal rock, hence why she did not trust them.
"I'd love to visit, though! All those Gems and humans you've mentioned sound nice."

if you want it you fight for it Maria paused. "Warp pads?" she asked, testing the words. They sounded strange, but no stranger than anything else that had happened. "Other Gems? Other people? Do they know about Gem things, too?" Her hostility had all but disappeared, replaced by eagerness. New friends she might be able to train with? This just might have been the best day of her life in her eyes.
Pearl's earlier words finally registered in her mind, and she smiled slightly at the little praise. "Steven? Connie?" Those names were unfamiliar, but caught her attention. Near her age? They must have been the other people, then.

"Warps are medium sized gem structures we use to travel large distances, there's quite a few here on Earth. Only gems can activate them though, but you can travel with a gem." She pat the human's shoudler. "Most he humans that live in the town near us are aware of our presence, as of recent they've discovered a little more about us since... well since a gem from homeworld tried to repair the galaxy warps." She put her hands on her hips and smiled back to Ara, "And yet again we had to save the world. Always something, right?"
Pearl beamed as the human girl inquired the two named she had mentioned prior, "Steven is... hard to explain but he's half human. Connie is his friend, and since they're close I took the liberty to train her to protect Steven. If your friend says with one of us then you've put yourself in danger. Learning how to fight and protect yourself becomes a nessesity. Perhaps you could spar with her sometime?"

long ago, there lived a knight... "A Gem from Homeworld?!" Ara gasped, clasping both of her cheeks with her hands. "Please tell me Homeworld isn't coming back for more!"
"Steven sounds like fun," she smiled. "I wonder what it's like, hm?" she replied, putting a hand to her chin.
"Connie sounds like a riot, too! A human that can fight... I'd love to meet her and fight a little. Is it true that they make their weapons instead of summoning them?"
