how peculiar! how will that sit with the crystal gems?
--------
yeah, this seems like a fun concept to play with.
if a cluster can have sentience why not a gem of corruption?
But since it's corruption, you can't expect your intelligence to be very...
Next stop, Steven approaches the the Beach City Fries, where Peedee is lying on the counter, to get his regular order.
"You know exactly what I want." He smiles at Peedee before turning to look to Garnet as he goes to get his order. "Any possible futures here where I'm hurt by this?"
"Hmm..." Garnet thinks deeply for a moment, briefly glancing at you out of the corner of her eye. "Mmm... Tons."
"What?" You felt your eye twitch, and Garnet tensed up slightly. "Like what?"
Garnet hesitated slightly."Well... for starters..."
"He could just be going on about his business, eating his fry bits, and then suddenly he choke to death."
"Or he get so distracted that he falls down a manhole."
"He could get food poisoning or be bullied by wasps."
"...And that's just a few instances off the top of my head."

"...Seriously??"
The sharp tone in your voice made Garnet flinch. "Well-"
"W-What if I stand perfectly still?" Steven asked, in a nervous sweat now as he held his fry bits.
"You'll... probably get a really bad sunburn." Garnet answers slowly, backing up from you, unable to break from your burning gaze. You were staring so hard, she felt like her visors would melt under their gaze.
"...Yeah." She then turns and walks away briskly, prompting Steven to chase after her. "Uh, Garnet, wait up! Come on, guys!"
"...Yeesh, I thought she said the most probable outcome.." Spinel muttered, shaking her head. "Them's some wild assumptions, eh, mama (nickname)?"
You stared silently, as you slowly absorbed the supposed visions you were told.
"Yes." You said lowly. "Wild. ~~~~~~~~~~~
Needless to say, the entire rest of the day was quite tense.
Even though Garnet's predictions were outlandish and maybe a bit exaggerated, you started to think back to what Steven had told you about his past experiences, and what you've witnessed yourself.
From nearly being blown up in a shoddily made rocket to being eaten by a giant gem bird, who really knows what else could happen with this child??
The more you thought about the possibilities, the more erratic your mind grew.
How safe is this kid?
It was a question you asked before, but to have it resurfacing in your mind brought a new layer of unease.
