Gems don't bleed, generally. They either break or they don't break - they take scuffs, or they get pierced and their body falls apart. The possibility of just tearing part of her wing apart never occurred to him, especially with its own bright green blood coming out.
Her still being here, her swearing so loudly and panicking, means that she's still suffering. He'd meant to just end it all at once, to just poof her and go from there. Even if it hurt for a moment, it wouldn't have mattered much in the grand scheme of things.
But this... this hurts a lot. He can feel it in the air empathically, along with all the stress and terror he's causing her. Isn't this the stuff he was trying to end? He doesn't know what to do.
"P-Peridot..."
Should he try to finish the job? What if she still doesn't poof? What if it just hurts her worse and she's in even more pain? Would she die? He clearly doesn't understand how transformations work for her, because it's not like Amethyst at all. He doesn't know what will happen.
If she died, would that be okay?
Isn't ending all of them the plan?
What's wrong with saving her from the pain of seeing what they've become?
Steven looks petrified by what he's seeing, the horror clear on his face. His movements are halting and confused as he lowers himself to the ground at her side, his toes dipping into the puddle of green blood that's forming.
"It's okay..."
He reaches out to her with his right hand, but the viney one is still raised and sharp, like it's ready to strike again at any moment. His eyes are wide and empty with shock.
