[ caelus opens his mouth then shuts it just as quickly. the dialogue tree here is a lot of dots and little useful talk.
could he have done that? aventurine annoyed him by falsely pinning suspicion onto acheron, but he'd also made it rain(!). at no point, up until their confrontation at the theme park, did caelus consider killing the man. batting about, sure, but murder?
he sighs. ]
It's not fair to ask that now that you've already made the choice for me.
Do you mean Boothill? I met with both of them, too.
[ it's hard to be sure what aventurine is getting at. he's simultaneously sneaky and overly giving with whatever information he wants caelus fed. that, or this is nothing, simple chitchat to fill the space after some awkward back and forth. ahhhh!! it could be any! a real roll of the dice. ]
It sounds like we're all friends in the future I don't remember.

Your 'labor' made me sound like a walking bomb and made sure everyone knew it. A necessary sacrifice, right?
[ this is close to caelus admitting he shouldn't have expected any better. ]
And now we're both here instead of the 'other side' of the Dreamscape.
[ although, if they were, that would make more sense than the chaos of their actual situation. ]

[ Nothing to worry about! But Aventurine does turn curious eyes toward Caelus. ]
I haven't met anyone else from the Astral Express here, but I did come across that singer, Robin, and a Galaxy Ranger.

Are you going to tell me that's not true?

[ Smiles at Caelus when their eyes meet. ]
