[ Imagine the puppy eyes, Aventurine. The pleading face. Caelus is shameless enough even to get down on all fours and beg like a real dog if he has to. Plus, the longer this cake stays in the refrigerator, the soggier it's gonna get!
(Note: This is more of an issue with First Amber Era refrigerators. The refrigerator in Caelus's room is state-of-the-art and near perfectly preserves the cake. It's not going to be overly affected by the cold temperatures... he's just impatient.) ]
[ A pause ensues despite Caelus’ desperate flurry of texts. What could be taking Aventurine so long…?
Still, the reason becomes clear after several moments longer: Aventurine has one-upped expectations with an attached photo of yet another cake slice, and this time, it’s an even more exquisitely decorated one made with triple artisan chocolate and expensive vanilla beans, the various layers visible along the side. Flakes of gold leaf and what seems to be a tasteful pattern of edible diamonds form a glittering trail atop the icing, making it…somehow look even more extravagant than the other slice? And that one already seemed like it would make paychecks bleed…! ]
Double the winnings, and only for a little bit of patience~
There is, truthfully, a part of Caelus that is almost concerned about where Aventurine gets these cakes. Edible gold? Edible diamonds? Oh, there are plenty of luxuries like that in this beautiful universe, to be sure, but do such things really cure the holes in one's heart? Talk to me, he almost wants to say to Aventurine. Tell me if this heals you.
On a much less serious note, though: god damn, he really wants that cake.
Two cakes... two cakes just for waiting a little while...
...Right?
Wait, before he agrees to anything — he's gotta figure out all the terms first, right? ]
...How long do you want me to wait?
[ This is a matter of life and death, Aventurine!! ]

But I want to eat it now...
What's the additional reward?
Aventurine :(((
