[ Huh. He does ease up a bit on the teasing, regarding him for a moment. People must assume the worst of him often. ]
...I know you have scruples. More than I do.
[ From Nehan's perspective, he's softer than someone with his background honestly should be. There is the very, very quiet hum of some emotion: something admiring, and this time actually a little envious. ]
[ THAT'S NOT FINE but he'll shuffle over to the accessories stands to look at whatever Aventurine was perusing. ]
Surprising... Yes and no. [ The emotion here is thoughtful. ] I'm not surprised, because it's you. But most people in your position would be less... honest.
[ With their time and promises. Growing up with nothing tends to make for either very stingy or very generous souls, but when you have to do anything to survive, morality and decency tend to fly the coop. ]
[ Gross. His emotions don't react strongly either way, quietly accepting this as just ordinary. ]
It's all right.
[ After a second, he'll pin it to Aventurine's shirt collar. There's a little emerald on the brooch itself. It's a little earthier in tone than his usual, bright teals. ]
[ Oh... He's still as Nehan pins the brooch on him, and once it's done, Aventurine doesn't waste any time pulling him in to press a kiss against his cheek.
When he draws away, it's with a grin, and there's a fluttering happiness in his chest that gets emotionshared. ]

You could swindle the clothes off Iwatooshi's back without trying.
[ He may as well have stolen the bed. It'd be so easy to just be like 'oh wah straw is itchy 🥺' and there you have it. ]

[ HE SAID THIS TO DAAN TOO AAAAAA... You all think he's a cheat and liar, well. You may be right about one of those things, but he has some morals. ]
I had every intention of paying Iwatooshi back. It just so happened that I died some days later.

The type to always repay your debts, hm?

But not Nehan.
Now that they're moving past this, Aventurine's insecurities settle down, and he nods his head. His own emotions grow curious. ]
Yes. Is that so surprising?

I have my moments.
[ Some people work better with dishonesty while others require honesty. ]
I think I'm rather particular depending on individuals and their circumstances.

How accommodating.
[ A chameleon who acts like a peacock. Nehan sorts through some chain brooches, picking up a gold one to inspect it. ]
You're quick to conform to people's needs, but you're pretty stubborn about your own.

[ He wanders back over to the accessories, snaking an arm around Nehan's waist as he leans against him to study the brooch that was picked out. ]
That's a nice one.

...Not that you need more accessories.

I'm going to wear this everywhere, thank you.
[ He gets so sentimental about gifts, weh. ]
no subject
He shuts his eye when Aventurine pecks his cheek, and despite his inevitable dismissal, there's a quiet bloom of contentment in response. ]
...Don't be so pleased over something I didn't even pay for.
[ Sentimental idiot. ]
You don't have to, if it doesn't suit you.
no subject
These were simpler times (earlier in the week) and Aventurine squeezes Nehan's arm in another, quieter thanks. ]
It suits me because it's from you.
[ It might have been a silly little joke any other time, but right now, there's only a genuine fondness coming from him. ]
no subject
Sappy...
[ gay as hell........
He is privately (or not so privately, this is the worst weekly effect in the world) a little pleased, at least. ]
