Dr. Ratio
"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.
Dr. Ratio

Nicknames? ( He frowns, because while Ratio hasn't shied away from chastising him with 'gambler' when he holds out on the other man, it's not one of the names he's been loudly repeating over and over again. Aventurine, of course, but then--

Oh.

One of Aventurine's hands goes to wrap around Ratio's wrist, grip tight. Someone knows his name; he does not blame Veritas for it, because there is nothing more satisfying to Aventurine than to hear Kakavasha said with pleasure and love. But someone knows it, and they don't know what it means, and the good natured smile and ease with which Aventurine carries himself sharpens, frozen on his face as he pushes through the panic. It's fine, he tells himself, because if Taryon thinks it's a nickname that the doctor uses for him then he won't use it himself, and he won't tell anyone it either.
)

Understood.

[Aventurine promptly shuts up, to Taryon's surprise. He had been rather blase about the whole affair, but hearing the specifics - those bedroom pet names that must be in some language from their world - must have alerted him to how little Ratio hid. He doesn't think to look to deeply into that: if he had an embarrassing kink that everyone learned about, he'd be pretty upset.

Ratio's expression, once Taryon looks at him, is just as concerning: rather than the shame from earlier, he looks more serious. It's rather strange, how getting into specifics makes them take it more seriously.]


I won't share any of this. God, I don't want to talk about this with anyone else. [He folds his arms over his chest and shudders.] But I will as a favor of you two in the future. When I need it the most.

[He has to think of something drastic, just to make surviving all that noise worth it.]

( A warmth bursts in Aventurine's chest as Ratio simply knows what has him so on edge -- it isn't Taryon's fault, nor is it Ratio's. The other man has no way of knowing that it's more than a nickname, that his name was left in the dust of his home planet long before Jade told him to discard it, as worthless as his identity was. Aventurine has never let his anger rest with the wrong targets, and therefore there is none in his voice, just a guarded tone that was not there previously.

His hand relaxes around Ratio's wrist, though he does not pull it away completely.
)

You'll find that we're quite good at handling anything you might throw at us. In fact, I look forward to the challenge.

( No matter how dangerous or ridiculous it might be. )

I know you would protect me in battle as comrades-in-arm, I won't ask you to rescue me from a monster. [That's not a favor to him, that's how teamwork functions. Taryon's plan is to not ever get into trouble himself.]

Yes, that's all I wanted to bring up. So you'll do something about it, then?

[Taryon has so many things he wants to do today, and this will reduce a lot of his stress at work and with the heatwave.]

( Well there goes Aventurine's first choice, but then again he can't argue against the wisdom of that choice. Too easy, then. That earns a huff of laughter from him, though it is more of a put upon thing than true laughter. )

We will. Don't you worry, friend, you won't hear a peep from us.

( With a goodbye nod of his head as he's pulled past, Aventurine goes without complaint until they've put enough distance between them and their disgruntled neighbor. )

Soundproofing, huh? Why doctor, I didn't think you'd get that loud!

( He is deftly avoiding the point that he thinks Ratio might want to get to, just look at him go! )

( Aventurine intertwines his figures with Ratio's, though he spends more time staring at their hands than Ratio until Veritas speaks, and his gaze snaps up to the other man's, narrowed in confusion. )

What-- oh. ( A small, wry smile steals across Aventurine's face. ) Come now, Veritas. It isn't anything that could have been helped.

( Which is to say: he doesn't need to apologize, because there's nothing that needs apologizing for in the first place. Though his grin becomes sharper in an attempt to distract Ratio from his own needless guilt. )

I like hearing you say my name over and over again, at increasing volume.

( Aventurine reaches out with his free hand to cup Ratio's cheek, pulling him down so that Aventurine can speak against his lips. But his grip on his hand is warm, firm -- he isn't letting Ratio go any time soon. )

We can do that today, if you want. Or tomorrow, if you've got work to do today. I don't want you to stop being loud -- it does wonders for my ego.

We wouldn't want to keep the doctor from cleanliness too long, it's true.

( Aventurine laughs, pressing another quick kiss before he separates from the other man to shower. He would be more concerned, more worried about the potential fallout if not for Ratio's solid, comforting presence. And for now, that's all he needs.

All he wants.
