[Ratio doesn't really ask what Aventurine gets up to when he's off doing whatever it is he does.

It's late right now, and Ratio's minding his own business, as he does. Probably not going to bed terribly soon anyway.

So, you know, perfect time for interruptions to his night.]

[He does want to play, chasing string and laser pointers until he just sort of conks out for the rest of the day. He'll turn back to human at some point during the night.]

[ignoranceisblight]

[And Ratio, after his nighttime routine, carries Aventurine to the guest room so he can wake up in a bed.

... And if Ratio happens to fall asleep there too, well... Don't worry about it.]

[takesitall]

[Aventurine doesn't even realize he's back to human shape right away, so tuckered out from his first transformation. He just knows he's in a bed, it's comfortable, and there's someone right there to cuddle with.

He is very, very cuddly, even as a human.]

[ignoranceisblight]

[And Ratio... can't bear to do anything about that, when he wakes up and realizes Aventurine's cuddling him.

... Well. He does end up putting an arm over Aventurine. This is pretty nice, actually.]

[takesitall]

[Slowly, surely, Aventurine starts to wake up. He blinks, confused, before smiling a little.]

M'human.

[ignoranceisblight]

You must've changed back overnight. Good morning.

[He's not moving.]

[takesitall]

Mm...wait, doctor?!

[The sleepy smile falls and is replaced by sleepy confusion.]

Am I in your bed?

[ignoranceisblight]

No, I brought you to the guest room and ended up falling asleep here myself.

[He yawns.]

How are you feeling?

[takesitall]

Like I just had a really good vacation followed by the best night's sleep I've ever had.

[He's too comfortable to move.]

[ignoranceisblight]

[Small smile.]

Good. No lingering pain or discomfort from the transformation, then?

[He lifts the arm that he'd put over Aventurine, but only to start combing through his hair.]

[takesitall]

I think I'm a little sore, but nothing weird.

[Oh, hairpets. He can't help but relax into those pets.]

Hungry.

[ignoranceisblight]

Once we're ready to move, I'll make breakfast. Something a bit more interesting than yesterday's meal, at least.

[takesitall]

Please. Ugh, I hate plain food.

[ignoranceisblight]

Apologies. But cats can't have anything more interesting, not really.

[takesitall]

Not even salt?!

[ignoranceisblight]

I'm not going to risk it, Aventurine. Not when it comes to a matter of your health, in either form.

[takesitall]

...if I find proof that salt is okay for cats, will that be okay?

[Look. Look.]

[ignoranceisblight]

If you can find it from a reputable source, I'll relent. But please just bear with it for now?

[... gentle scalp scritches now.]

[takesitall]

Mmmm, fine...

[He yawns.]

Feels good, doctor...

[ignoranceisblight]

Is that so? I'll have to keep this in mind.

[It's a little without thinking, but listen. Listen.]

... Do you want to try to go back to sleep for a while or do you want breakfast?

[takesitall]

...I think I'll sleep better if I get some food in me.

[ignoranceisblight]

Alright.

[Which means he'll have to get up... He bumps his forehead against Aventurine's briefly before sitting up and stretching.]

[takesitall]

[Aventurine smiles and bumps back.]

Thank you, Ratio.

[ignoranceisblight]

[He smiles.]

Of course. What would you like for breakfast?

[takesitall]

...bacon? I'm craving it for some reason.
