Relationships with outsiders are a wholly different thing from relationships with cavern dwellers. While familial ties and quadranting between jades is highly encouraged, having friends and quadrantmates among outsiders is absolutely considered a necessary evil. Jades know that there is only so much people near your age to be found in the Caverns, and that you may not be attracted to them. But jades are scarce enough that producing as much quality genetic material as possible is still a priority, because only a small part of it actually gives fruit; thus, quadranting with non-jades is tolerated. 

 The usual routine is that the Sister will be allowed outside for a night, to feed and to find bonds if they have none. Then they may visit their friends and quadrants, under watch of another Sister that will guarantee that the visitor returns to the Caverns. 

 However there are very strict rules to these relationships. The outsider must not enter the caverns unless strictly necessary, or if they do they must stay in one of the outermost rooms, with constant watch from one or two Sisters other than their mate. This privilege is mostly granted to palemates during emergencies, but even then they cannot stay for long, so as to not to disrupt the Sister's work routine. They are an exception only because the stability of their jade palemate is important to the group of Sisters as a whole. Sometimes, other quadrants will be allowed inside during emergencies- but never friends. The bond between the jade and the outsider may be strong enough to be considered familial, but whereas the quadrants are begrudgingly allowed the friends are seen as unnecessary distraction for the jade.
