"Whoa-!" Even for Steven, it's not every day he's minding his business and nearly gets hit in the face by something. This is a special circumstance.
He has a little bit of a startled Moment about it, but by the time he's got his shield up, there's already enough of a lack of this mysterious missile turning around to try again that he figures he probably doesn't need to bother. All he needs is to laugh at himself for being so jumpy.
Plus with the extra bit of distance, it looks really cool?
The library can wait. He's got a catch-up jog to go on now. And then maybe a nap for as long as he has left in his free time, because one second of emotional roller coaster is enough for any young man living here.
