[ There's a second's pause once the question is finished, and Aventurine looks mildly surprised, his eyebrows raised as he regards Caelus with some concern. ]
Don't tell me this has been eating away at you since my death.
[ He shakes his head. ]
You didn't let me down. I was at the cabin that night with Miss Robin because I was hoping to talk to her about private matters. When everyone fell asleep and I was the only one to wake up, I returned to the barn to see if anyone else was awake.
[ it's caelus' job to protect everyone. the second bodies started dropping, he'd failed. in the aftermath, he merely wants to know how badly he performed. normal evaluation stuff. figured aventurine would be good at that, given his profession. ]
I don't know if I'm relieved or not, yet. I spent a lot of time thinking about it.
[ Goes back to eating his mess of an ice cream. What a silly thing to worry about. Aventurine's not worth that much thought, but he doesn't voice that part out loud. ]
Unfortunately, no. Not that night. What we thought would be a private moment to ourselves ended up being eleven people stuck in that small cabin all together.
[ aventurine is annoying and a pseudo-villain when it suits his goals, but he's worth saving. admittedly, the I'll-save-you bar is low. it's on the ground. limbo under that. ]
I should also tell you, when our memories were on full display, some people saw you when we fought. I told all of them it was fine and we were working together here when we were alive, but you should know. It wasn't on purpose.
[ at last, scooping himself something fully chocolate-y. ]

Did you get what you needed from Miss Robin?

[ It was so... cramped... ]
My, that feels like ages ago now.
