I fear that may be beyond a few of them, unfortunately.

[Ratio...]

By setting firm boundaries and taking as much time for myself as I need, mostly.

And my mask.

[He'll just look over to check on Aventurine's progress.]

[Mess is fine, mess can be cleaned up. He'll keep an eye on the pasta in the meantime.]

You could?

[He has to admit, he's interested.]

[personal profile] ignoranceisblight 2025-06-07 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
... Thank you. I'd appreciate it a lot.

[He uses the tongs to fish out a couple more pieces, trying one, then nodding.]

It's done, I'd say-- here. [He offers the other piece.] This is what it should feel like when it's ready.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, yes, it's absolutely atrocious.

I've always found Libeccio overpriced, personally, and Trattoria Trussardi has the... more pleasant atmosphere.

[Read: Isn't frequented by the fucking mob.]

Ah, they're-- One moment.

[Since that shelf in the cabinet is definitely too high for Aventurine to reach without a step-stool. Ratio grabs the bowls and brings them down to Aventurine's reach before he starts to get the pasta ready-- reserving half a cup of the water before he drains it.]

Loud, and people I'd rather not get anywhere near if I can help it.

[He has a sense of self-preservation, thank you.]

It's to add to the sauce. We're likely not going to use all of it, but it'll help the consistency.

[He'll start adding the noodles to the bowl Aventurine was using for the butter mixture once they've drained.]

Here. Use the tongs to make sure everything is coated with the sauce. I'll add the water if we need it.

You did. Well done, Aventurine. This turned out wonderfully.

[personal profile] ignoranceisblight 2025-06-08 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Something has occurred to Ratio the past few months, but he hasn't really said anything about it.

Largely because he's been scared of saying the wrong thing and driving Aventurine off.

Ratio... isn't thrilled with the change of dinner being at his place, but he puts up with it with... okay some grumbling, but Aventurine gave him a week's warning, it's fine.

For tonight's dinner, he's opted for steaks with a spicy marinade. Those are resting when Aventurine arrives.]


Perfect timing. Dinner's almost ready.

[His expression brightens.]

Wonderful. I can't wait to try it.

[... steak, wine, chocolate cake, that almost feels a little-- nope, not thinking about that right now.

He leads the way to the kitchen, gesturing for Aventurine to sit while he gets their plates.]

[Why does he have a foreboding feeling about this...]

What is it?
