he's ripped! real big knight in shining armor kinda guy! anyway. he frowns, still, moving to sit up properly because he was really just there in push up positioning talking to a guy about a murderer.
and after a long moment: ]
... Well... I think that'd be a little hypocritical. Being a knight does sometimes require you to cut someone down... [ so... after a minute, he smiles a little. ] That could even show up on me, depending on what the qualifications for it are.
[ A conversation and a view. This is a blessed day, and Aventurine will casually rake his eyes over Rondo's gains before returning his attention to whatever it is they were talking about. ]
Thank you for being understanding.
[ Rondo, you are so good... ]
To be honest with you, it was a long time ago. A lot of things have changed since then.
[ upon being a ho he will notice rondo's own ink is concentrated on his shoulder. it reads - leaving her behind. ]
...Everyone has a story to tell. [ there's a slight nod to the being understanding part, a little smile. ] You can't really understand someone's actions until you walk along their path, you know...?
I'm glad to hear that, though! [ thanks for getting off the path of murder (?) probably ] It sounds as if you may have triumphed over something quite difficult, Aventurine! That's impressive.
It makes Aventurine keep his eyes off of the words on Rondo's shoulder, trying to show some basic courtesy toward the man being supportive of him when they barely know each other. ]
You're too kind. [ He doesn't even want to bully at this point. ] I think... I'm still not there yet, but I'm looking forward to reaching that end.
the smile remains - supportive and encouraging, fists curling briefly in front of himself. ]
It's not always easy to tread that way. [ one towards triumph, one towards growth. ] So... then, maybe, I wish you the best of luck and all of the strength towards making it. It's pretty impressive to head for that goal of something better, too.
he looks like he’s going to say something. Like. opens mouth. Closes mouth. And then realizes he, for this entire conversation, has not been wearing a shirt - so in a half flail of limbs he scrambles to grab his tabard, blushing straight out to his ears. EMBARRASSING. ]
It - that’s - you’re - I’ve worked hard! That’s why! [ okay ] Not on the poker face, I don’t even gamble….!
[ it looks like he's excited to be praised... it really is too easy. he is putting his knightly shirt back on now. ] I would not be worthy to be the Flameguard if I hadn't!

anyway - ah... busted. rondo immediately looks shamed, turning his gaze away to the floor.
... ]
...um, murderer. [ and, immediately brings his gaze back up, distressed. ] I - sorry, I didn't mean to stare...
no subject
That's fine. It's not like you put it there. [ Waves the apology aside. ] I just hope it doesn't offend your knightly sensibilities?
