[ Steven's not new to adapting to sudden magical changes in his life, however exciting or confusing they may be. And for this, he's certainly doing his best work to make no exceptions. Being welcomed with joy is a big help there. He keeps his little leaf-made bag slung over a shoulder and pockets his gem shard to ensure he doesn't accidentally drop it while he's distracted. At least the gem he was born with can't just slip through his fingers or something and vanish, jeez. Bubbling his bit of day gem didn't work, but maybe later he can poke at it and try to figure out what's up with it.
In the meantime, it's kinda cool to have wings that work- dark pink in the center and on the tips. Something nice and simple. Steven will be one of the crowd not afraid to keep giving flight another try on a whim, typically laughing as his feet leave the ground. It's entirely possible that he'll accidentally buzz along right into a collision with another new arrival, thumping back down to the ground with a startled yell. Give him two seconds, he'll apologize.
He also has little to no apprehension when it comes to approaching strangers, so it could be he's just slotted himself right into someone's personal bubble to say hello. Anybody that's particularly noticeably confused, nervous, or frightened is likely to find themselves in Steven's company at some point. Just because he can't fix everything and save the day doesn't mean he can't try to help some people feel better about being in a giant tree surrounded by glow worms.
Not that he totally gets why being surrounded by friendly glow worms and fireflies wouldn't be kind of comforting in a time like this, but that's a lot like wondering exactly why Pearl can't stand eating human food. Sometimes it's better to let people have their things.
Alternatively, just about any kind of scenario will fly. No biggie, go for it.
( i tend to stick to brackets, but can match prose for prose if anybody prefers it that way. ) ]
