[ ...What does he say about trailblazing? Caelus honestly doesn't even know how to explain it. He has precious few memories of his life before he started trailblazing; at this point, he almost doesn't know anything else. It's almost like asking someone to describe how to breathe.
He hesitates, but soon he plows on: ]
...Um... well, we warp somewhere new every week. Unless we're involved in a longer investigation, anyway, like the kind we did in Penacony. But normally, you can do anything you want in that week. I mean, we don't want you to get into big trouble, but you can get into trouble, too. I think March and Dan Heng blew up Taikiyan Stadium once. [ Hell of a thing for him to just mention — ] It's okay. None of us are going to control you. You can spend it Trailblazing however you want.
I like to explore new places and help everyone out with little problems. Make connections, meet new people. But you don't have to do that, if that's not how you want to trailblaze. March usually just takes pictures of stuff that she likes, and Dan Heng usually gets roped into advising people on technical issues. You'll get to know them more, once we add you to the family group chat.
[ A little smile creeps its way over Caelus's lips as he speaks. He rubs his thumb along Aventurine's fine jawline again, sweetly and gently, just to reassure him that he's still thinking ]
Um... compared to Pier Point, the Astral Express probably isn't that fancy. But most people say it's really nice? We could give you your own room, and you can decorate it however you want. Pom-Pom will cook you whatever you want, but we rotate dinner duty between all of us, too, so they're not always the only one cooking. If you're not good at cooking, I can show you how. We have an omni-synthesizer if you just want to eat premade food, too.
[ He smiles a little wryly. ]
I... feel like I'm not selling this to you. But we... really care about each other. And we have fun. We could care about you like that, too.
[ Sighing, Caelus closes his eyes and runs one hand gently through Aventurine's hair. ]
...Even if you don't join us, I'd do anything to make you feel safe.
oh no i thought i posted this!! so sorry!!
