    Summary

    Ratio didn’t respond, instead brushing the hair from Aventurine’s eyes so tenderly that it hurt. Aventurine should have known Ratio wouldn’t be so easily distracted. Ratio cupped Aventurine’s face, looking him in the eye like a lover. Like an equal.

    Aventurine had to blink back tears.

    “Aventurine,” Ratio said, soft, sincere. But then, Ratio was always sincere with him when it counted, “Dearest.”

    That nickname. It was stupid to get so emotional over it. And yet.

    Aventurine took a shuddering breath, “Yes?”

    His heart was pounding almost painfully. He cared about Ratio way too much.

    Ratio held him like he was everything and said, “You need more friends.”

    In which, at Ratio's insistence, Aventurine tries to make some friends.

    Summary

    PERSONAL NOTES

    Highlighted section from employee profile of AVENTURINE OF STRATAGEMS : “Avgin” means “honey” in the Sigonian language. This is a commonplace derogatory term emphasizing the cunning, persuasive and treacherous nature of the Avgins.

    Comment from DR. RATIO : What complete rubbish.

     

    Ratio and Aventurine have gotten closer, and closer, and closer, until something has to give. That something was always going to be Aventurine.

    (Ratio would argue that he gave in much earlier, it simply wasn't as dramatic.)
