Lapis looks around Pearl, like she expects someone to be standing there, but there isn't. She's just being skittish. "I overheard some stuff when I went down to the labs with Deanna the other day." And here, uncharacteristically, she fidgets with her hands.

"They were talking about putting out genes into theirs. The ones for our powers specifically. If they do that, the- the people here won't stand a chance." Especially with her own. Lapis is well aware of that.
