"The speed at which your mind has to work to do such a thing, the very shape of your brain must be different."
The awe in Ratio's tone sends Aventurine hiding behind his bangs with a defensive snort. From here, Ratio takes note of the hitch of Aventurine's shoulders, the tenseness of his grip on his glass. "Professor, I saw a Xianzhou martial artist snatching mung beans out of the air the other day on my reels. It's not that impressive. Plenty of human-shaped things can do what I did tonight."

Aventurine's whole body has stiffened. His drink trembles in his left hand, and his cards sit on the table forgotten. He won't look at Ratio.
