[ In an alternate timeline, Nico wound up carrying him over his shoulder back to Vampire France when he tried to go home instead...
It's a little sad, perhaps, how even after Nico had given his invitation, Aventurine hadn't really pictured himself making that choice. If he couldn't get away from the IPC before, why would this time be any different? Even the various new factors at play hadn't been enough to convince him.
...But something else might. Something that comes from within, that has brought him so close to this group who were perfect strangers to him only a few weeks ago. For something that valuable, isn't it worth the risk?
It feels like a more dangerous gamble than he's ever made before...but he's nothing if not committed to his aesthetic. ]
Well, who can say what will happen when it's time to go home? If you all form a barrier around the door and I can't go through, then that will just be that, won't it? It'll be out of my hands.
[ Because...he doesn't need to do this all on his own anymore. ]
