Steven didn't really expect the guy to stop playing. It's a little disappointing; he liked listening, and he doesn't want him to stop just because he's here. But talking is nice, too, and he'll probably be easier to find if he stays put, music or no.

"It's how we get around," he explains, swinging his legs idly. It occurs to him that this guy might find magical Gem stuff kind of off-putting, the way his dad does, but there's really no way to answer his question without mentioning it. "Normally we land on a warp pad, but I didn't see one when I got here." He'd ask him if he'd seen one, but if he knew what a warp pad looked like, he probably wouldn't be asking what warping is.

Instead, he says, "My dad plays the guitar! He taught me how to play the ukulele." See, they don't have to talk about weird magic stuff if it makes him uncomfortable.
