[ You know, he says, with a subtle but strange inflection that tells Ratio all he needs to know about how Aventurine feels regarding their relationship. But he isn't worried. Some wounds require more than just a few months to heal. So long as there is progress, there will be a point in time when the other man fully accepts that he will not lose Ratio or this relationship.
It's a little upsetting that he can't reach out to reassure Aventurine now, separated as they are. Belatedly, he thinks about making a silly little addition to the pendant clutched tightly in the gambler's hand; some sort of...
