((Hello everyone I'm back, sorry for the delay my house got struck by lighting on the second and it killed the internet receiver thing and we just got the internet back today.))
"Sorry guys I zoned out for a second, anyway the ant says that artisan guy is apparently encroaching on their land, and that the hive is following a mission granted to them by the magi, but it doesn't seem to know what the mission is."
Ask the ant where we can find an ant in a leadership position to talk to so we find a way for both the ants and the artisan guy can complete their missions.

The ant- which is busy bopping Grey with his forelimbs in a rather adorably harmless fashion-looks to Debby. After a few moments it hops down off Gray's face and crawls back into the tunnel without a word. Huh.
"Sorry guys I zoned out for a second, anyway the ant says that artisan guy is apparently encroaching on their land, and that the hive is following a mission granted to them by the magi, but it doesn't seem to know what the mission is."
“Ho! Ho! Ho! Then it looks like we’re all on the same team here! Hopefully, diplomacy will solve this problem. And if it doesn’t, then it’ll be a matter that the Magi will have to attend to…”, Hugh replies before squeezing Debbie’s shoulder. “I pray that your negotiations go well, my girl!”
After this, Hugh continues to accompany Debbie but attempts to look more friendly then threatening.

Edit: added action.
Hugh flexes and looms as best he can, but if the ant even notices him it makes no indication of it. Perhaps they are simply immune to his grandstanding.
"I'll try to figure out something about the Magi that are behind this part of their work."
Aaron attempts to know which of the Magi the artisan works under, and which the ants answer to.

Your head is filled with white noise and your nose starts bleeding. Thats...different.
As the team mills around, trying to figure out what to do now that the ant has left, they notice something. The ground is shaking. They notice this about 10 seconds before the wall explodes outwards and a crystalline ant the size of a train engine with a head like an enormous battering ram bursts into the room. It looks around the room, its giant crystalline mandibles clacking in thought before zeroing in on Debby. It stomps over to her and lowers itself down to look at her with one crystalline compound eye. As it does so, the small ant from before skitters up and onto the top of its head, looking down on the team with what seems like gloating satisfaction. Maybe. The emotions of a rock insect are difficult to detect.
The giant ant makes a sound like windchimes crossed with a pan flute before ending it with a hang drum solo. Its very pretty but no one understands a bit of it aside from Debby.
"She says we should get on." Debby tells everyone, pointing at the ant .
