"There's no rush."

Dr. Ratio

Greetings, I am Veritas Ratio.

Dr. Ratio

Knowledge should flow freely between people, and the same fate should befall truth. You can ask me about technical problems at any moment, and I shall do my utmost to give you a reply.

Dr. Ratio

But before you ask, remember to establish best practices for intense self-rumination, and remember that time is precious for everyone, as for me, so for you.

( Aventurine doesn't know how to being to think of himself as a man with a husband, a family. But there is a part of him that aches for it, that wants what he never thought he'd have with a force that takes him by surprise. So he gives Ratio a smile, small but genuine and full of a surprised warmth. )

Why would I, when you're here to remind me?

( Aeons, he wishes Ratio was here in his bed. Not for sex, but just for the warmth the other man radiates, for the feeling of arms around him and the comfort of a warm chest against his back. )

Wish you were here, Doc.

[ Ratio smiles warmly back, a small crease in his brows betraying the yearning he feels for the man on the other side of the screen. ]

As do I, gambler. But we have a mission to complete.

[ And they will have their own objectives and goals once they return home. If anything, these kaiju hunting missions are a good method of testing their ability to stay apart. For the two of them, fiercely independent and driven individuals, it should pose no problem.

But it doesn't stop the quiet yearning in his heart. ]

It's just annoying to have these things interrupt our perfectly good vacation!

( It's a joke, yes, but also an acknowledgement that he knows they can't continue like they have been back in their own universe. If only he didn't feel so useless when they aren't fighting -- there's nothing to do, nothing to sink his teeth and fingers into. It'll be better, he's sure, when he's got his choice of projects and how he wants to approach them again.

If he manages to live through his trial. If he survives the Nihility. Hm. )

A rather long vacation, as it is. I wouldn't stand being idle for this long.

[ Not to mention, the work and the separations make the times spent together all the sweeter. He now knows this will also be true once they return home, so he doesn't mind any of this at all.

A thought occurs in his mind, and he pauses. ]

...how safe would you say your surroundings are at present?
