ALL OR NOTHING.

Without rushing him in the slightest, the highprince looked curious. And when he saw him stop in front of a section of the shop, his smile broadened. Ah, yes. Those garments were truly special, and, even before he could touch them, it was easy to see just how artistic the craftsmanship really was. Yes, this man had good taste. It was a pity Adolin didn't have the kind of money on him that he was accustomed to having.

so, he offers a small laugh, the smallest nod given in turn. ❝ Working here wouldn't suit my vibe. Now, being a well-known shopper... ❞ that was another story, one face far too familiar in a sea of so many brought here against their wills.

curious eyes follow the other after his own inspection of the garment, that playful smile continuing ever on without a single sign of falter. and when the other brings out a pair of pants, lightly colored and accentuated with the most subtle textures, he finds himself just as impressed as adolin had been in him, enough so that he lets out a small whistle of appreciation. ❝ You're right. It balances well without overpowering the centerpiece. Though there could never be too much, ❞ he teases lightly, falling into his usual banter when making, well, 'friends' of any kind.

"sounds like a good idea — we'll go with two then".

Paimon settled herself on Lumine's lap, legs restless with anticipation for the spread. the whole scenario felt like a dream she was terrified of waking from right before the best part — how many others could say they were treated to such a fine meal, and for free! Aventurine had laid his cards out and set the terms that he held an IOU, so it might be this was more an investment for later down the line, but she couldn't imagine him getting up to anything nefarious.

paimon's particular phrasing plays as a little humorous in his mind, come to think. lucky, denoting that this was all some frivolous fancy cast upon the die on a whim. no doubts are held that they knew the weight of singular favor, a transaction in life that nobody can truly avoid, not without an utmost dedication to self-sufficiency.

were it anyone's good fortunes in regards to all of this, surely it was his一

Vivianne nods, understanding the reasoning Aventurine gives. Well, somewhat. “It’s a precarious balance,” she says, “but I am eager to hopefully attend another party of yours when the time is right.”

now as for her other pointed interest in this idle conversation...

We all know Aventurine is the favourite child…

whether or not it would come down to that again remains to be seen. and yet, with the way sunday seems different from those fleeting reveries一

taking the chair opposite of him, he leans back into the seat, arms crossing over his chest as he crosses one leg over the other. ❝ Thank you. ❞ even if there was a subtle hint of a bite to his tone, there is still a sense of presentable politeness that mirrors sunday's own. only once a waiter passes by does aventurine instead flag him down. ❝ One cocktail, please. Start a separate bill, too, ❞ he mentions, almost as if replying to the other in an indirect way to his question. as much as they might not get along, he was hardly going to pile his own orders onto the other's bill.
