[indent] Steven saw the dragon's ears rear back, but he continued his advance anyway. Like, it'd only take a couple seconds of contact for his healing powers to kick in and it'd be done! But then he heard the growl, and his blood ran cold. Before he could pull his own hand back from the fear, he let out a little surprised yelp as Hiccup grabbed his wrist, grip ironclad as the man wrenched Steven's hand back, bending his arm awkwardly in the process. Steven was quick to then take his hand back from Hiccup, rubbing his wrist with the other as he looked at Hiccup with a confused look on his face. All he was trying to do was heal the Night Fury! Was that really not obvious-?

Steven's face fell as he realized that wait a second, [i]no,[/i] it [i]wasn't[/i] obvious. Of course it wasn't obvious. This wasn't Steven's home, obviously. This was that Crossroads place that he was texted about. Whether or not it was a Gem thing or some other bizarre situation, it wasn't HIS home. There was no way that Hiccup and this Night Fury would know of Steven's whole.. Shtick. Like how would they know about his healing powers, or his status as a Diamond, or frankly [i]anything[/i] about him? Like, to them, this random kid just came up and donked them in the head with his weird magic shield, then slimed the palm of his hand with spit and went to touch them with his spitty hand. It was weird! No, it was [i]beyond[/i] weird, and- Oh, stars, he probably seemed like he was some kinda [i]cuckoo.[/i]

Steven's expression shifted into a meek sort of smile. He wiped the palm of his hand on his jeans as he spoke, using his other hand to gesture, [color=ed145b][b]"Wait, just- I [i]swear[/i] I'm not crazy. I can explain-"[/b][/color] his eyes lit up as he added with a smug little smirk, [color=ed145b][b]"Better yet, let me [i]show[/i] you."[/b][/color] 

He quickly looked around for something that looked damaged or already half-dead- OH! That tree that the Night Fury blasted at looks pretty rough, but not totally beyond fixing. That'll do nicely! Steven did a little half-run over to the tree, then re-wet his hand before smacking it against the baren section where the dragon's breath attack had damaged it. He put his other hand up only holding one finger up to signal for Hiccup and the dragon to wait a second... It turned into five seconds. Steven's confident grin falters as he shifts his weight, laughing nervously.

[color=ed145b][b]"Any second now. I swear, it-it'll-"[/b][/color] he makes a little popping noise. [color=ed145b][b]"and it'll be fixed."[/b][/color] He rests his free hand on his hip, and then looks at the tree trunk expectantly.

...Aaaannyyy second now.[/indent]
