⠀ quite. while i do not mind your presence, i believe you ought not to stay awake for my sakes. ( is the truth of the matter in which ratio tries to explain. aventurine truly should try not to take everything ratio says personally. it is just the way he talks. ) ⠀

⠀ ( he's ——.ᐟ not used to this. not yet. and it is even more effective because it was aventurine. the object of the scholar's affection for a good few months now. maybe even longer. ) apologies i... am not quite sure how one properly celebrates such an event... ⠀

⠀ ... hm. very well. if so, then i would like to reclaim the right to purchase this. ⠀

⠀ aventurine blanket stays on. ⠀

⠀ .. i'm not so sure. but perhaps we can celebrate by ourselves. dinner. dancing. i know just the place. ( the scholar suggests, thumb gently gracing over knuckles. ) what do you say .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ that is idiotic and illogical. why must you place the burden on my shoulders .ᐣ ( ... nevertheless, he cannot deny that he did not want the gambler to become sleep deprived just because of him. a click of his tongue. ) ..... fine. ⠀

⠀ i did not say that. i would still cuddle you. and i am also quite jealous of that mobile bathtub. ⠀

⠀ no. ⠀

⠀ my bed gets wet... in the fish way. ⠀

⠀ ...... i like both of your forms. it just so happens that i can cuddle you easier on this form. ⠀

⠀ mm. i should not bother them. ⠀

⠀ very well. a parade is... not... something i usually go to. perhaps you can send me photos of the events that unfolded .ᐣ i would like to be included in your day, still. ⠀

⠀ mm. very well—— ( yelps .ᐟ.ᐟ ah. hm. alright. somehow, he's missed this. ) ⠀

⠀ if i have time. perhaps i will. ⠀

⠀ 🗿 ⠀

⠀ huff. the bed was empty. ⠀

⠀ 🗿 ... it's difficult to explain. ⠀

⠀ ( for a long moment, there is a pause... before the scholar grumbles and looks down at his work. he thinks. deliberates. before clicking his tongue and beginning to arrange few papers together to bring them home. ) very well. i will head home. ( begrudgingly. ) ⠀
