If youre certain I won't insist

but im here if you need aid

[ His punctuation is getting worse... Maybe it's Ratio that needs help, not Aventurine. ]

[stonehearts]

( it's enough to make aventurine laugh where he is, but also-- )

I know, doc, you're always going to be the first person I come to. Same as back home

Though it seems to me you might need more help than me this time around
Need me to come get you?

[curingidiocy]

[ There is a moment of silence as Ratio does not reply immediately. And then ]

perhaps

[stonehearts]

( cute )

Just tell me where, doc, and I'll rescue you out of this predicament

[curingidiocy]

no i should

[ There's a pause in the message. ]

I can come to you. Where are you, gambler?

[stonehearts]

Lobby of the hotel. They kicked me out of the casinos, can you believe that?

[curingidiocy]

heh

[curingidiocy]

you've been banned from over 100 Tavern-owned casinos and politely asked to moderate your earnings in IPC-owned establishments

what did you expect

[stonehearts]

🥺

stay put. i'll be there in a few minutes.

[ It doesn't take longer than ten minutes for Ratio to arrive at the hotel. He's tipsy, yes, but not noticeably inebriated. As he enters the lobby, his eyes scan for Aventurine. Again, he wishes the gambler was wearing his ostentatious outfit, it would be so much easier to spot him... ]
