[ It is an incredible display of snotty power. Steven turns and takes a couple of steps in another direction, partly to gear himself up and partly because it's rude for him to roll his eyes in someone's face.
He believes very firmly on every level that he'd rather be going solo on unicorn duty than forcing someone else to yell a bunch of sensitive stuff out into the void. He doesn't have a grudge to hold over that, nothing he wants to take out on someone. He knows that.
Being in this situation at all has him feeling a little short, though.
This guy sort of reminds him of Yellow. There are better and worse people to be reminded of. And in theory, way worse people to be forced to yell deep insecurities around. Yellow really wouldn't be interested enough to listen. Empathy was always more his thing than any of the Diamonds.
What vulnerabilities has he not trotted out for unicorn luring already...?
Oh.
Ugh. ]
I'm... secretly still pretty sure my mom had me so she could permanently avoid all the lies she told and ways she hurt people? I mean, I don't think she thought I'd have to deal with all her stuff! She just didn't really think about what she did at all! Except that maybe if she had me, no one would think she was selfish for running away from it!
[ It's hard to reconcile everything he's ever been told or found out about her, still. Every time he thinks he's got the full picture, it's like some new horrible thing was only waiting for that signal to come out of the woodwork.
It always comes back to his mom. Every time. Except for Jorgmund, this mission excepted. It's been a while, but he's still tired of it all the way down to his bones. ]
Honestly, I'm. I'm not so sure I'm ever gonna work back around to a place where I think good things about her, and I'm not sure I want to anyway! If any unicorns might be interested in hearing about it!
