Where’s Lion?
Connie hadn’t dared to see Steven since the day he came back. A tension had built up between the two, and Connie, while happy for his return, didn’t feel like interacting with him again, at least temporarily. She insisted they could’ve defeated Topaz and Aquamarine together, but Steven kept thinking that he had to pay all the consequences, because it was his fault that she and a few others got abducted in the first place.
But to give himself up the way he did was completely unnecessary and also really risky. He could’ve died. And what then? What assured that more gems wouldn’t come to steal more humans while Earth still existed? The answer was nothing.
However, Connie knew she couldn’t give him the cold shoulder for long. Not speaking to him wasn’t going to solve anything, it would be just casting the problem aside. Now that her mind was clearer, she decided to go back to the beach house and settle things down in a civilized way.
The girl walked down the boardwalk when a strange poster caught her attention.
“MISSING LION
Pink, magical, old??
Likes: naps, Lion Lickers
Dislikes: enthusiasm
CALL STEVEN”
…What. What happened to Lion? Didn’t he warp back home after he teleported her to her own house? Well, that’s what logically would’ve happened. Maybe it did happen and he became missing after that. Then again, how could she know this? What if he really got lost because of her? Then there’d be no time for conflicted feelings. The pink felide must be found.
She walked upstairs once she arrived to the temple and knocked on the door, hoping Steven, or at least someone was home.
