    Summary

    [Voice Identification Successful: Stoneheart Aventurine] "—ve heard so much about you."
    [Voice Identification Successful: Veritas Ratio] "I am certain that Jade has plenty to say of my endeavors. If all you wished to do was introduce yourself then consider the deed done. I have far more important things that demand my attention."
    "Ah, she said you could be a bit... Prickly."
    [A heavy, weary sigh.]
    "Lovely. Now, I truly must be going as—"
    "I actually wanted your input if you could spare me a few of your very precious minutes."
    [A few seconds of silence, a bit of rustling.]
    "I will spare you five minutes."

    A series of notes, recordings, and transcripts from one Veritas Ratio concerning the Stoneheart Aventurine.

    Summary

    “My friend left something behind over there,” the child pointed somewhere behind Ratio, “I need to go get it before we go.”

    “How funny. I’m also looking for things my friend left behind. Perhaps we’re looking for the same man.”

    “Does your friend have pretty eyes?”

    Ratio almost laughed - what a silly question, “Indeed.”

    Summary

    “Why do you care?” Aventurine fired back, crossing his legs. If he pushed him hard enough, would Ratio’s kind caress turn foul, his nails digging into his flesh?

    “I’m no fool,” Ratio’s voice didn’t sway; he stayed calm and collected, “I know a cry for help when I see one.”

    “So you pity me?”

    “I sympathise with you.”

    “I see no difference.”

    “Genuine concern should not be this much of a bother to anyone,” Ratio said matter-of-factly, “it’s disheartening to see how foreign of a concept this is for you.”

    The five times Aventurine lets his feelings go unsaid, and the one time he says it.

    Summary

    Stiffly, Ratio resumes flipping through pages, scratching here and there with his pen. Satisfied at the response, Aventurine kneels so that he is face-level with the bust situated on the side table. From the corner of his eye he can feel Ratio’s gaze return to him.

    Really, Ratio is far too funny.

    “I wonder…” Aventurine clicks his tongue, purposely trailing off.

    “Keep your inquiries and daydreams to yourself, gambler.”

    Aventurine faces some rumors floating around the IPC head on. Or, Aventurine kisses Ratio's bust to prove a point or two.

    Summary

    Aventurine makes it out of the abyss - and into a different world. Things are different here - simpler. There are no Aeons, no intergalactic factions and corporations, no Paths and Blessings. He is not naïve enough to assume that there is no cruelty and discrimination here - for there always is - but for the most part, everything is peaceful.

    Here, Aventurine's priorities are getting people's coffee orders right. Fairly straight forward, if you ask him.

    Except for the bit where he is surrounded by too many familiar faces, and they remind him of a place he can no longer return to. That's okay. People come and go, and so will they.

     

    Except for the bit where they come and go and come back.

     

    AKA. Aventurine gets dropped into a coffee-shop AU with all the memories from before. He's handling things until he's not handling things. That's okay, because he still has friends (and Dr Ratio) in this world. He just doesn't know it yet.
