[ As he once had said to this very same young man, he didn't throw his chips in on the side that he didn't think had a chance of winning. For him to give in, to allow this kindness and realize that the other meant every word he said in contrast to the bitter poison the IPC had to offer him all these years?
It had a LOT of significance and perhaps it came down to how truthful and earnest Caelus was. Someone who didn't hide behind lies and pretty words like he typically did. Someone who most certainly was indeed shaking but from what? He kept a mental note of such information for later, feeling an unknown warmth in his chest that he didn't entirely know what he should be doing with.
Aventurine was wholly logical on a good day and a realist, so he did still have his doubts but this sweet young trailblazer wouldn't lie to him about this. Caelus no doubt would fight tooth and nail to keep him here, if he had to guess. ]
You really are too good for this sad little world.
[ He meant it as quite the compliment, wondering what was all going through the other's mind while trying to not think too much on his own situation.
Diamond likely wouldn't take this well. Neither would Jade.
They would have much to say about the fact the cornerstone was shattered into pieces and he had no doubt that the IPC was already making their move. Several puzzle pieces remained as well, but the only thing that mattered in this little room was the almost awkward way Caelus now was acting.
Pressing his face into the pillow a bit, which had him laughing softly before shaking his head at those words. If this was how things were going to be? Couldn't say he minded a whole lot, feeling now like his life was given a whole other meaning and purpose as compared to before. ]
Come now. I don't think you're crazy, but I must admit it's new to hear someone truly feels that way when it comes to me being around.
[ Aventurine had a fleeting thought that if he was to be anybody's in this world, it would have to be the one sharing the bed with him. One good thing in this wretched world that had previously never given him anything of his own, and a new reason for existing in this vast universe that needed much more exploration. ]
I at least know you mean it. There's no deception or lies here. You're too earnest for that.
