Okay, so it's a little embarrassing, but it's also the best way for them to not get separated (and it's kind of reassuring, besides). Steven takes the offered hand. Now it looks more like he and the Balladeer belong together, so people should be less likely to try and get between them, too. He just has to keep half an eye on the guitar case, and that's second nature for someone whose dad plays guitar.
"I guess it's hard to tell, if they're in tunnels," Steven allows as they walk to the platform. But if the train is as long as the platform is, that's pretty darn long. Steven cranes his neck to peer down at the rails. Compared to the Gem technology he's seen, it's all a bit dingy and rough-looking. But the people who built it weren't working with magic, and it makes sense that anything built underground would be kind of dirty. Underground is made of dirt.
There's a faint breeze from the tunnel, and a glimmer of light reflected against the tunnel wall. The breeze turns to a gust, the light brightens, there's a rush of noise, and the train appears in a blur of silver and light. "WHAAAAAT," Steven exclaims in general appreciation, his hands clutching his head as the train rattles past. "THAT'S AMAZING!"
