[ Ratio does not wish to take the bargain, but he does all the same, because he longs to prove a point as much as he wishes to get Aventurine out of his office before they make some kind of mistake. He is a professor, educated and well seasoned in his time, and the notion of risking it all for a simple fuck... That is not the kind of man he is.
The issue then becomes this: Aventurine answers every single one of his questions. Even the ones that some of his highest grading students struggle with are given without any pause or hesitation, and it enrages him as much as it impresses him - and he is certain that there is no cheating, no book or glasses or technology to betray them.
Expression tight, he watches the man in front of him with a prickle of frustration. ]
