[ He gets what Aventurine is saying without saying, and gives his hand a little squeeze in return. ]

I am happy to hear it. Happier still that I have played some part in it.

[gamboler]

Some part? You might be underselling yourself just a bit, darling.

[ He deserves, like, at least 70% of the credit. ]

Were we dividing up yearly bonuses amongst ourselves like I do with my colleagues, you'd need to make a far better case than that to get a slice of the pie.

[crimsin]

Come on now, I do not want to hog all the credit. You have made some friends here, have you not?

[ PLEASE tell him you’ve been making friends, Aventurine. ]

[gamboler]

[ He has been!!! Friends that are actual friends and not friends in italics. ]

Oh sure, sure. Rather unexpectedly, but this little vacation has been full of surprises...

[crimsin]

I am glad to hear it.

[ He just. Smiles so brightly. ]

I hope we can all leave this place happy with the new bonds we have forged.

[gamboler]

...I'd like that.

[ For someone who rarely makes deep connections as it is, each one he's forged here has become precious to him. He won't let them go so easily now, no matter where he winds up.

Lifting his crepe to his mouth, he takes a cutieful anime girl bite out of it. ]

Delicious — though I think I like the way I make them better.

[crimsin]

[ Not the cutieful anime girl bite… did he get chocolate on his face? ]

You make crepes? I did not know you like to cook.

[gamboler]

[ Yes, just a little bit on his cheek!! ]

Ah, you did miss me in the kitchen on our first day. A shame I made Miss Serpilia crepes instead of you. I could have won your heart in an instant.

[ Instead of the, like, three days it took instead. ]

I wouldn't call myself an experienced chef by any means, but I know enough to get by.
