[ it is so weird not starting this with the mod journal
Anyway, they can meet in the apartment building. Does Aventurine want to see the penthouse that doesn't belong to him? ]
I see you didn't die again. [ hello. ] But yes, I've been thinking things over.

[ Hello, it's food court brunch hours. They can have pancakes with ketchup.
He sees Aventurine nodding off and pokes him with his cane. Though Nehan does not actually look very rested himself. ]
...At least sleep at home. [ no, there's coffee at the food court at least ]

[ He doesn't want pancakes with ketchup does he look like an animal to you.
Also, this coffee is not helping, and Aventurine sits up a little at the poke from where he'd been inches away from faceplanting into his French toast. ]
Oh, Nehan. [ Hello. ] I wasn't sleeping.

[ After baby hours and the fire, they can just meet up at his penthouse on Tuesday sometime. He's sitting by the fire with a book and not really reading it, just staring up at nothing for a second before Aventurine walks in. ]
...All grown up now?
...All grown up now?
[ not another fire
Is Nehan sitting on a couch or an armchair, well, it doesn't matter because Aventurine drops into a sit right next to him, squeezing his way in. Imagine personal space. It's gone now. ]
You were cute yesterday.
[ Says the one who had been a child as he ignores all sister topics. ]

[ His profile even says he thinks people who barge in are ANNOYING but his irritation mellows when he sees who it is, considering all that's happened with trial.
He's actually resting on his couch, so after a pause, he just gestures for Aventurine to come over. ]

[ So many memories on this couch and they all feel like they happened a million years ago. Aventurine takes a seat beside Nehan, only to sink his face into his hands as he gathers and sorts his thoughts.
The trial had been as frantic as ever, and the last few moments replay in his head. But that's not what he'd come here to discuss, and he finally looks up from his hands to fix Nehan with a stare. ]
What did you take that night in the cemetery?

[ He is around and awake whenever Aventurine decides to stop being unconscious—his remaining injuries will be tidily dressed, and there's an IV in his arm.
He's just changing out the solution when he notices some movement, voice as carefully neutral as ever. ]
...Are you awake? Can you hear me?

...Are you awake? Can you hear me?
[ It's a very slow, not at all pleasant awakening. The excruciating pain all across his body is gone for the most part, but the aches still linger. And then there's his head... It's like something is pounding away at his skull, and Aventurine grimaces as he opens the eye that isn't covered by bandages.
He stares at Nehan for a second or two, like he's trying to make sense of what he's seeing, before he breaks out into a small smile. ]
Nehan... You're okay.
[ It's whispered, his voice a bit hoarse, but he's never looked and sounded as relieved as he does now. ]

[ It's absolute smugness from Aventurine's end, though it's clear to tell he's pleased about Essek showing up. ]
Still have access to the hole. Nehan sided with me.
[ No, he actually didn't. He said to leave him out of it, but Aventurine is okay with lying. ]

[ we're only allowed to have one depressing thread a week so they are shopping
this is the worst weekly effect yet but he will leave the apartments once in a while. he's at the mall, checking out the new stores, surveying some clothes on a rack and testing the fabric between his fingers. ]

[ The new clothing store means Aventurine is thriving. It doesn't take emotionshare week to tell that he's out of his mind with excitement, and he's already picked out a bunch of accessories he does not need.
And then he's swinging back around to put a classy fedora on Nehan's head, pushing it down over his ears. ]
We might have to cut out holes on the sides.
