Steven can say that when he heard "lure out and catch unicorn," he was sort of base-level on board for that. Just on the principle of the idea that unicorns do in fact exist somewhere, and he wants to see one.
The method immediately threw him for a loop. It's kind of everything he's been trying to avoid doing since the Cactus Steven incident back home. (Since before then, probably, but Cactus Steven was a big selling point on why dumping his problems out isn't the best idea he's ever had.) And he already knows full well what his stance is on the prospect of not letting these unicorns stay trapped and forced to play caretaker for the rest of forever. Cross that bridge when you get to it, right?
On the ground floor of this mission, being the general trekking-through-the-forest part, Steven's doing his best to be a useful participant! Not all of his powers have been online since he first turned up with Jorgmund, but he's got some stuff to work with. Feel free to assume he's employing measures for The Team as needed.
A nice sturdy shield for fending off aerial attacks! A shield bubble, which is too soundproof to be useful during unicorn-luring, but which can provide a brief reprieve from uhh. Everything else in the forest, while people make a game plan. The occasional potential magic healing kiss for scrapes and bruises, depending on if that power even wants to work right in the moment (up to player discretion or d20 roll, really).
The mortifying ordeal... of being known...
Is a struggle.
At least it's not just him struggling with it. ]
Wow, you'd think I'd be a little better at this part. Emotional vulnerability is like, my whole thing. [ Is it, buddy, or do you curate your emotional vulnerability most days as a prop for the safe vulnerability of others? These are things Steven does not actually think about.
Mostly, he manages to immediately make himself feel guilty for not being better at this. Maybe he should try to come up with a song. ]
Wanna swear to a vulnerabilities secrecy pact before we get started?
[ What happens in the unicorn hunt stays in the unicorn hunt. That would kinda make him feel better, at least. ]

Okay!
