Rhodonite was afraid. The journey of coming to Earth had been a scary new experience, but one she was looking forward to immensely. Now that she actually had her feet on the sand, though, she felt.. torn. Half of her was eager to explore and discover things with her friends at her side, but the other half of her was firm about staying close to Steven’s beach home and hiding in his ‘room.’

Steven was just taking a quiet, daily stroll among the boardwalk. It was such a happy day. Not too warm, and the sun wasn’t blinding his eyes. There was barely anybody on the boardwalk today, assuming they were out having fun with their families. It was such a warm and sweet Sunday evening, he wasn’t expecting to see anyone.

Pearl hissed in a breath she didn’t need and popped to her feet, doing a cute little curtsy despite the dark blush currently traveling its way across her face. “I.. Yeah, yes, I am.”

Steven smiled gently. He could tell this Pearl was another anxious one; not a problem, really, but he did feel bad for her. He knew from his own experience that anxiety was definitely not a pleasurable thing at all and it was pure hell.

Pearl’s head whipped around at the mention of the equally voracious and obnoxious ocean birds. She didn’t know what they were, but she felt that they were something to be feared. If they were Rhodonite now, well, she might be a bit excited after learning about them more, but Pearl was only eager to understand how to keep them appeased.

Steven smiled, gently giggling as he playfully squeezed her hand. “They won’t hurt you!” he said, chuckling. “Yeah, they may be annoying, but they won’t hurt you! They just care about food.” It was true. If you had brought even something small, like a bag of chips, you’d be harassed by seagull paparazzi… since Steven lived his whole life on the beach, he was quite used to it. He smiled at the Ruby, which reminded him about something.

Pearl visibly relaxed, wilting in front of Steven with a sigh. “Oh, that’s good. I didn’t want to get hurt or chased or anything. If those seagulls were anything like Robonoids, then I don’t know if I could have handled them..” She raised an eyebrow at the question that followed. “I.. don’t know! We sort of had a little disagreement.. I’m not mad at Ruby and I don’t think she’s mad at me, but, I don’t think she’ll want to fuse again for a while. She wants to explore and I don’t believe that’s safe. I mean, come on! It’s an entirely new world with new creatures and new customs- she might get hurt.” Pearl’s expression was one of heartache and worry.

Steven gave the Pearl a small hug. “It’s gonna be okay! I don’t think she’d get hurt, and neither will you! It’s pretty much safe here. Unless a corrupted gem comes by, but that doesn’t happen as much anymore. I haven’t seen one in weeks,” he reassured, patting her back gently. “I’ll make sure you guys are safe! And it’s fine if you aren’t going to stay fused. I get to know you guys better!” he said, smiling.

Pearl felt intense worry at the mention of corrupted gems- she didn’t know what exactly that entailed, but at least Steven hadn’t seen any in a while. The rest of his words, though, enabled her to take a deep breath and relax, the tension in her expression and her posture lessening. She followed after Steven to see Ruby, and took a look around before sitting down in the sand. “It’s so interesting..”

Steven joined them, taking a seat next to Pearl. He hoped that he hadn’t worried her about the corrupted gems, because that was definitely not his intent. He smiled at the both of them. Whenever a gem learned something new about Earth, he loved to teach it to them.

While Steven and Ruby had a conversation about the little hermit crab Ruby had seemingly become attached to— she could tell, honestly, that she was going to try to keep it— Pearl slowly edged closer to the water, wincing as her feet squished in the wet sand, the closer she got to the ocean. She was just curious, that’s all.

ooh are we doing ratings now? hehe fusionxfear

Rhodonite threatened to burst into tears. This powerful fusion, one respected and loved by all who knew her well, teaching someone as unsure and clumsy and anxious as Rhodonite that it was okay to love herself and be happy being who she was? She never could have expected it.

Rhodonite put together her thoughts, her upper pair of hands gripping her lower pair. Cute.

“Garnet?” Rhodonite was quiet, taking slow steps forward as if unsure of herself. “That.. is your name, right? I think I remember that being your name.” She was blushing and rambling. Bad start.
