Any negative emotions that were buzzing around in Steven's brain faded as Hiccup explained his rationale and apologized, and Steven's own expression softened considerably. He let out a sigh, looking up at Hiccup before replying, "It's ok. I'm sorry too."

Like, y'know, of course he didn't mean what he'd said like like that, and Steven could tell just from the tone of his voice- both then and now. Steven was just.. well, there wasn't any one emotion, it was a mess of them all fighting in his heart and mind and making it hard to pretend he wasn't being affected. Maybe frazzled would be a good word? It certainly sounded like a word that could combine confusion, fear, anger. tension, and anxiety. Like, he knew he'd figure out how to get out of this, cause he always has in the past, but right now he doesn't. Stars, he was pretty sure that if he were to stand still and look down at his hands, they'd be shaking and he'd probably start crying and-

And his fists clenched and then dove into his jacket pockets. Him focusing on how bad he feels hasn't helped in the past, why does he keep doing it? He needs to find something else to think about, like- Like how these little plastic poker chip token things felt between his fingers - smooth, but with evenly spaced indentations on the front and back sides; or maybe he could think on how Hiccup had asked if Steven knew where his village was, cause, that was weird, right? And that made him think back to his first thoughts of Hiccup - how odd it was that he was dressed like he came from the medieval era or just got back from a LARPing session- except, y'know, he had a real life dragon, which was still just.. Mind-boggling. Absolutely mind-boggling.

Steven's furrowed brow betrayed how the little gears in his brain were turning- like, ok, he was in these Crossroads, he knew that and he's more-or-less accepted that at this point. He just met this dude that was definitely not from home, there was no way. And this world? It looked all kinds of broken up and mashed together from what he saw before, and... Oh. Oh stars.

Steven felt his stomach sinking. This definitely wasn't Gem stuff. Sure, Gems could have their own little pocket-dimensions and stuff, and they could definitely have weird names like "The Crossroads," but this was totally different. This place wasn't on any starmaps, and he's certainly never heard of any Gem's personal pocket-dimension being like this. Worse? Maybe Ronaldo was, once again, shockingly correct about something. He didn't want to believe it, but as the snowy forest gave way to a warm breeze and greenery, there was that nagging feeling that this thought Steven was having had to be the truth... Right? It had to be. It made too much sense to NOT be.

He decided that it was time to metaphorically shatter the silence and start asking questions. Specifically, it was time to ask Hiccup questions. Maybe Steven can find a way to confirm the newfound suspicions he has about this situation they've found themselves in. Maybe.

"So," Steven started, clicking his tongue as he struggled to get his words out in a way that didn't sound as frazzled as he was, "Uhm. Chief of Berk, huh? I've.. I've never heard of a Berk before. What's it like there?"

Steven returned the sneer when he felt Hiccup's hand on his shoulder and heard the condescension in his tone of voice. Like, did you hit your head? Seriously-?! "No," Steven replied curtly, shrugging the man's hand off his shoulder and standing up straight. He sort of pouted as he continued, "No. I did not hit my head, and I'm not crazy! I promise you, just- Look, if you look real close-" As he turned to show where, exactly, Hiccup needed to look on the mangled tree, he beamed.

The tree was slowly starting to patch itself up! It looked best where his spit had made direct contact with the damage, but the healing was radiating outwards to the rest of the tree all on its own. The healing was certainly taking longer than he remembered it ever taking before, but.. It worked, just like he knew it would! And honestly thank the stars, because not being able to heal other people or himself would be less than ideal. Especially in this positively bizarre situation he's found himself in. Plus, like, he definitely would've looked insane if his healing powers had decided "alright, it's time to not work and make Steven look like a loon and a fool!"

He let out a little laugh of relief before turning around with a smug grin and a grand gesture towards the tree - a sort of playful observe my magical prowess and bask in my radiance sort of posture. The mask dropped as soon as he saw how the man and his dragon were both leaving, though. The dragon looked especially insistent on leaving - for very valid reasons, of course, but Steven huffed out an irritated breath anyway. Like, y'know, of course. Of course they'd turn around and walk off before they could see he was telling the truth-! You know what? It's fine. It's cool. He's not mad about being brushed off as a dumb kid...

He almost let the pair walk off into the forest purely out of petty spite before he realized something. There could be far less friendly people, and far more bloodthirsty dragons in this forest, and if his healing powers were altered-

"Hey!" Steven's voice cracked slightly as he shouted after them, running to catch up.

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, no, it wasn't 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 anything 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 beyond weird, and- Oh, stars, he probably seemed like he was some kinda cuckoo.

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, "Wait, just- I swear I'm not crazy. I can explain-" his eyes lit up as he added with a smug little smirk, "Better yet, let me show you."

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.

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

...Aaaannyyy second now.
