( a good answer, but something deep in aventurine doesn't quite like it. maybe he had expected to be ostracized for it. maybe he wanted to be. as though that alone would justify his own self-deprecating feelings. )

Now now, my friend. A little unfair you're the one asking all the questions, don't you think? ( but also for all of aventurine's ability to deflate, there's only so many questions he wants to really answer. ) Why don't you give me your answer, instead? What's the worst thing you have done for money?
