[IN SOME MASH-UP AU where gems and huntresses coexist (and Grims are corrupted gems??)... The Crystal Gems and various huntresses and such have been searching a large maze-like forest for a powerful Grim hidden within.
Unfortunately, Steven's ended up being separated from the Crystal Gems, but he does find some company at least. As he turns around a tree and spots the girl, he waves to her with a light smile.]
Oh... Hi there! I'm Steven. [He wonders, is she here as part of the hunt too, or is she lost?] What... brings you to this neck of the woods?
[ while penny knows of the existence of gems, she actually has yet to meet one herself! it's just one more life experience that her father has told her about, but is excited to learn of on her own. it's all very exciting, but there's no time to fantasize about it now. ]
Oh! Salutations, Steven! My name is Penny.
[ she crouches down an d reaches out for his hand and gives it a shake. oddly, she seems to be a little cold to the touch... but it can be brushed off. ]
Why, I'm hunting for Grimm, of course! This forest is supposed to be home to a very nasty one, so my friends and I are on the lookout for it. [ they've split up, but have a plan for if any of them find it first. ] But what about you? You seem to be very small and very lost.
[ Even if it's the Vytal Festival and everyone's stressing about the tournament or what they want to do next year (ha!), Jaune still finds the time to enjoy the little things. Like Pumpkin Pete's cereal!
In fact, he can be seen leaving the local grocery store, but the only thing he seems to have bought is just the one box. He must really love them. In fact, he's so excited about the purchase that he doesn't seem to be watching where he's going, being too distracted with reading what's written on the box.
