Chapter Text
“What?” Jasper growled in an irritated manner when she caught Steven staring and smiling at her yet again.
“You and Peridot are really close on this mission.” Steven giggled looking up at Peridot who was sitting comfortably on top of Jasper's shoulders.
“It's necessary for speed, we'll lose track of the target if we don't keep a good pace.” When Steven didn't seem to take what she said seriously Jasper reached up and grabbed onto Peridot's uniform by the scruff prompting an outraged cry of surprise. Stretching her arm out Jasper promptly and unceremoniously dropped Peridot into the snow to which she disappeared. “I'm tall enough that it doesn't matter, you have the only set of physical now shoes, and she can't shift a pair.”
“Oh, I see. I guess that's why your carrying her. I just thought.” Shifting nervously he pointed off into the distance. “Oh, look tracks!” Then scooted off as fast as he could.
Reaching into the snow Jasper pulled out a now fuming Peridot. Setting Peridot on her own shoulder she waited for the smaller gem to adjust herself before setting off after the boy.
“Liar.” Peridot hissed into Jasper's ear accusingly. “Their was so another pair! YOU said I didn’t need them!”
Trudging through the thigh deep snow Jasper shrugged nearly making Peridot lose her balance and grab onto Jasper tightly in order to keep from falling once more.
