"Yeah!" Steven perks up. He hasn't been away from home long enough to miss it, and he's happy to impart beach-related wisdom to someone who's never been to one. "The Crystal Temple is right on the beach; it's great! You can go swimming, or surfing, or build sand castles..." he starts ticking things off on his fingers, "look for seashells or cool rocks, have a barbecue... sometimes my dad and I jam on the beach, too." He grins, enjoying the memories. It's a little sad to think of being away from Beach City, but he won't be stuck here that long. It'll be like a vacation!

He mimics the Balladeer's posture to read the map, nodding his understanding. And he's right; it isn't long at all before they've reached the next stop, confirmed by a recorded voice announcing the stop's name. There's a brief bustle as some people leave and some step on, and then they're off again. He lurches a little in his seat with an appreciative grin as the train accelerates, and it's hard not to let out a whoop, as if he's on a fairground ride. But no one else is making noise - they all just look bored, which seems unbelievable - so he keeps his mouth shut.

Once the train stops at the next station, Steven hops to his feet and preemptively grabs the Balladeer's hand again. He doesn't want them getting separated so close to where they're going. "Thanks for taking me on the train," he says once they've made it back out onto the platform. "It was fun!"
