Ain't we supposed to agree to the date before it happens?

[People don't usually make out with their cooks. Imagine how messy a restaurant would get if the diners insisted on kissing the head chef. It's already busy enough back there.

Then again... he shouldn't really be surprised by Aventurine's pushiness. Just his luck to end up around people like this, willful and forcing him into their pace.

It's not like he minds kissing or getting down and dirty, but at least let a guy build up to it. ]

Talk about it first?

[waged]

Are there truly such rules to a date? If both parties are willing, does it not make it one?

( the hidden inquiry here is whether nero does consider it a date, at least now. the answer, though, is not one aventurine wholly cares for. all the dates he has had in this place were just pretenses for the game they all have to play.

but if it eases the other person into the board, and helps them align their piece onto it, does it not work in his favor, nonetheless? )

Then let's talk. Or I suppose this means I should tell you my intentions? Let's see... ( let him feign thinking about it for a moment, ) I wasn't lying when I said you can consider it a welcome gift. But more than that, I would like to exchange cards with you. No game begins without a card in your hand, after all, and as a six, it gives you plenty of room to seek other numbers. Four below, or four higher. And once you have enough, you might even get yourself your own kitchen.

( and not, like, rely on a shady guy for one. or ask on the network for it, really. that's the implication in his words. )

We don't have to do anything you're not willing either. Don't you trust me? ( lol. )

[ He can recognize this as kind of pushy, but it's different than the usual pushiness he deals with. The other person is usually so blunt and forward about everything that it's impossible to miss.

What Aventurine's doing here is different. The kind of silver tongued strategy more often employed by the western wizards, where they talk and talk until he's suddenly going by their whims.

At that 2 level, the unassuming nature of it? Great. Nobody talks to him. The fact he's living in a closet with no room to put any kind of kitchen? Miserable. ]

You could've just lead with that. I did say I'd be willin' to exchange cards on the watch.
