Garnet's hands are solid and very careful. One of Steven's first memories is of baby-him petting her funny one-finger gloves. The fabric is so soft.

Pearl's hands are cold and thin, like knitting needles with joints. Amethyst's hands are kind of squidgy and sticky from all that junk food.

His dad's hands feel old, chapped and sunburned and wrinkly from the car wash.

Connie's hands are smaller than his. She pulls him up, brings him back to Earth, saves him. She's still surprised when he says thank you.

Her hands shake sometimes. Steven isn't sure how to feel about that.
