[ Oh, she underestimates how rude Ratio can be when he feels it's warranted. Were he not in the mood, he would do exactly that. But as he'd said earlier, he was in need of a break, because he hasn't slept for over twenty four hours and it was starting to take a toll on him.

Ratio's eyes narrow. He isn't someone that needs the reassurance of a loved one to continue moving forward. He's experienced so many failures and weathered them alone, and he intends to do the same this time. He crosses his arms and stands tall, proud and angry. ]

I do not need to be comforted with empty platitudes like a dull-witted fool. There is no time for despair or self-pity. When one encounters failure, they must learn from it and move on. That is what I have always done without assistance. This time will be no different.

[ Don't bring Aventurine into this, Ereshkigal. Ratio does not appreciate it. ]
