tactic | NONA.

[ hi, nona we are at the barn.

Aventurine does not look too pleased about his housing assignment, one hand on his forehead as he glares at the plaque. But then his expression changes, smoothing back out into his usual smile when he spots a familiar face. ]

Hey, Nona! Here to check out who's where?

[ He's also got the number 35 floating around on his cheek. ]

[well. nona's gaze immediately goes to the 35, because that's hard to miss. meanwhile, she's oblivious to the words miracle child projecting above her heart.

she smiles back at aventurine.]

You could say that... I'm guessing this is where you're staying?

[ His gaze flickers over to the words above her heart, but he quickly looks away and does not comment. ]

Unfortunately. I hope your luck's treated you better than a barn.

[thanks aventurine]

Well...

... What's your opinion on sleeping in a mortuary...?

[ FLABBERGHASTED. ]

Where exactly are you supposed to sleep?

In coffins, apparently!

[AAAAAAAAAA]

That's quite morbid. It doesn't suit you at all.

[ NOT CUTE LITTLE NONA!!!! ]

Yeah! You wouldn't associate me with coffins at all! [a beat] Then again, I'm not sure if it suits most people...

[SIGHS]

Well, I'll have to deal with it. It's better than no shelter, at least. [looks around] Sounded like you're not too fond with what you got assigned either?

[ He can think of a few people it would suit...

But oof, he gets reminded where he's staying. ]

I don't think the barn suits me either. If you think differently, please don't say.

[a little laugh]

I wasn't thinking that, I promise! [stares at him...] Hm... what kind of lodging would suit you...?

Not to sound unreasonable, but none of these buildings have a draw about them.

[ They are all so... rundown... and sad-looking... Actually, maybe they do share some similarities with him. ]
