[ aventurine is doing his best to hold himself together, but topaz has no reason to hide her concern. she glances over at him, that silent gaze asking so many questions that she isn't quite able to voice. ]
... and you're in this tournament too?
[ she's not an idiot. some of her gears are starting to click together, but she's obviously nervous to start letting them. maybe these specific ones don't fit together. ]
[ There's a moment of silence as he finally looks away from all the blood, fist uncurling as he directs a smile, confident and assuring, to Topaz. ]
Worried about me? Don't be.
[ He gives her a small nudge with his elbow, the very picture of ease. ]
If you've got time to worry, you've got time to find out as much as you can about the tournament. I want the names of investors, sponsors, and the people running the show. Obtaining intel on the other competitors would also give us an edge. Think you can do that for me?
[ is her first dry comment, but... she wants to be reassured. she clearly wants to believe that everything is going to be fine. her own work is important when trying to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch.
just one more gamble of his that she has to trust in. ]
Turns out your list and mine line up anyway. I'll go ahead and take care of that so... don't lose your head before I come back and bill you for my overtime hours, alright?
[ joking! she doesn't want to fuss either. so she'll nudge him back before sauntering off on her way to speak capitalism-ese...
aventurine can go back to the hotel and prep for whatever he might need! maybe he can see what happens to daan's hand! but he'll be made aware of the time of his fight and when he'll need to show back up with the team in tow hehe. enjoy your gun ]
