Summary
"Do forgive my outburst," Ratio says again. His dark lashes are spiked together with tears, eyes red-rimmed both from inflammation and his habitual eyeliner having bled like watercolor, gleaming ruby rivulets atop the high points of his cheekbones. It makes his irises even more striking, Aventurine thinks fondly.
Ratio's throat clicks as he swallows, almost more audible than his words. "I should know better than to get so far ahead of myself. You have an unerring way of making me…" He trails off, seeming to hesitate uncharacteristically over his next words.
"Making you…?" Aventurine takes pity this time and prompts him, even though he isn't sure he'll know how to handle what comes. Ratio is the only one who ever seems to match him for wild curveballs.
Aventurine makes his way out of the darkness into a strange new part of the Dreamscape, thanks to the help of a good doctor. As strangely mesmerizing as this place may be, however, a containment zone for the Swarm isn't exactly an ideal setting for an emotional reunion.
Ratio isn't letting that stop him.
