[ He understands... And then at her question, he shakes his head. ]

I didn't think it would be my place, what with you being here.

[sonorant]

[ such consideration from aventurine. her expression softens. ]

Thank you. I appreciate it. [ sincerely, she does. ] I know many will be asking me about him this week. [ she touches where her ink is displayed. ] Your experiences are your own, so I don't think it's right to say you can't talk about him... when even I don't know everything that happened between you two.

[ she doesn't know if aventurine knows what happened during the charmony festival either if he was stuck in some nihility realm. ]

[tactic]

[ He's stuck in that 2.1 version only, yippee. ]

... One of these days, I'm hoping to tell you.

[sonorant]

I'll be waiting, but.... as much as I do want to hear your story, don't feel obligated. Our friendship doesn't have to be shaped by how much you give me.

[tactic]

I don't have much else to offer.

[ He is used to showering people with gifts for their friendship......... ]

you will rue the day you did this to me

[sonorant]

For all that you talk with flair, Mr. Aventurine, for once you are selling yourself short. Everyone has something they can give that doesn't come from materialism.

Shall we find out what it is together?

[tactic]

... I'd be delighted.

[ FLIES INTO YOUR STARTER ]

[sonorant]

[ you can drop our threads at any time

she is going to test how delighted he's going to be by tapping her cheek to mirror where his says murderer. ]

How do you feel about this?

[tactic]

[ YOU FIRST

Aventurine's gaze travels down to where she'd tapped, but he can't get a good read on it. ]

What's it saying this time?

[sonorant]

Murderer.

[tactic]

Wow. Not pulling any punches, is it.

[ COOL. ]

I'm an open book, Miss Robin. [ sure ] I did what I had to do in my younger days to survive.

[sonorant]

[ she doesn't think stonehearts become stonehearts because they're open books, but ok. ]

We are all pushed to extremes at some point. Is your survival the most important thing to you?

[tactic]

[ Hmmm. ]

... Yes. Or, back then it was. I had made a promise to someone.

[sonorant]

It's important to keep your promises, but sometimes, it's difficult to. [ a beat. ] ... But if it was a promise for you to live, I think it's a good one.

[tactic]

[ ... Even if it meant watching everyone around him die? He's not sure. ]

Maybe. I have a lot about myself I need to discover.

[sonorant]

[ would he want their deaths and wishes to be in vain and disregarded? This is how she wants to move forward from her mother's death.

Her smile is soft. ]

We all do. You and I both. Isn't that a part of living?

[tactic]

I suppose it is.

[ He hasn't really understood the point of living until very recently. ]

Thank you, Miss Robin. Our little chat here was... enlightening.

[sonorant]

I'm always happy to talk with you, Mr. Aventurine. Whether or not you get along with my brother.

[ she hasn't missed his reaction every time sunday is referenced. ]
