[ Ratio is a little afraid of the answer. He’s concerned about Aventurine making his way back to the rest of his fellows and getting himself into more trouble, revealing his hand and suffering because of it. The last thing he wants, he realises, is Aventurine ending up twisted up in some other game, the kind in which the doctor is not able to help with.
For all his wisdom and intelligence there is only so much he can do.
Eyes dart over the other man before he looks away, expression sharp. Shy. Embarrassed, perhaps. ]
You are welcome to stay here. I have a guest room, and it has been empty for some time. Consider it yours, for as long as you wish, though I’d request you not overstay your welcome.
[ Ratio watches the chip, eyes tracing it, before he sighs softly and looks away. ]
I have no reason to report your arrival to anyone, as it stands.
( As much as he was counting on, hoping for Ratio to let him stay and... not sell him out, it still counts as a surprise that he does so with only one request. That's easy enough, and-- he thinks he sees something in his expression that warms a part of Aventurine that he thought he'd left back on the sands of his home.
It's something that he now has a chance to figure out what he's going to do about it, instead of ignoring it in favor of... simply not. )
Trust you to not have any houseguests. I guess your... exacting nature really only lets the most stubborn of fools past your door, huh? ( Which he has proved, over and over again, to be. As for the rest, well-- ) Thank you, Ratio.
Ratio had been concerned enough that he gives the offer without too much extra consideration, because he has spent months weighing the pros and cons of such a thing, considering the different aspects of it, the need for it, the desirability... He has come to enough conclusions that it feels appropriate to give himself this, and to allow Aventurine to have it in turn, even if others might query his behaviour.
None of them have to know.
Refusing to look back over at his guest, he frowns. ]
I'll hear nothing more on it. Go and make yourself comfortable, if you must.

( It's a debt he can't even begin to pay back. )
