One that explains why you were so startled to see mine.
[ since he doesn't think aventurine was shocked by a pretty face. and scien knows his eyes are one of the more unique features of his appearance, even if his is by design ]
[ The same answer he gives everyone who asks. But this time, he doesn't stop there. Maybe it's because he's had the tough conversations with Scien before, but he tentatively continues. ]
... I think... a part of me will always hope that I'm not.
[ There's a moment of silence, and then Aventurine huffs out a short laugh. The mood is getting too heavy for his liking. He must quickly remedy this. ]
If you find some comfort in my words, then that is for the better.
[ to get that out of the way. if aventurine feels cheered then that's fine? ]
But don't misunderstand that I'll say things just for the sake of your feelings. I'm not such a gentle person. It is only because I believe them to be true that I'll bother with it.

I haven't been wrong so far. So, do I get a name with the face?
no subject
[ and because he'll bring up the topic himself: ]
Do I get an explanation for your eyes?
no subject
What sort of explanation are you looking for?

no subject
I normally don't see eyes that resemble mine.

[ okay rudeass ]

Do you still think there is reason to be dishonest or avoidant with me?

If you are unwilling to share, be upfront that it is for your own comfort rather than mine.

... These are the eyes of my people, the Avgins. It's said I'm the last of our kind.
no subject
Do you believe that?

no subject
[ if it is that. if it is like how they talked before, about aventurine missing people that he had left behind ]
The universe is vast. You probably know that better than I do. There's no point in giving up hope if you haven't been convinced as is.
no subject
One of the nicer things you've ever said to me.
no subject
That wasn't my intention. It was a statement of fact.
no subject
[ Yeah, this is his headcanon now. ]

no subject
Even better. I'm happy to use that honesty of yours for myself.
no subject
Seems like you could use some of it, liar.
Though I don't hate when you're honest with me, too.
[ he can acknowledge that admitting to some of those things must've been hard.... ]
no subject
[ He'd like to hope so, at least. ]
We'll catch up again soon. It was nice finally seeing the face under the mask.
no subject
[ he waves a hand ]
Until then.
