Sorry, I only just now saw your message.

Aventurine

Now that things are settling down, I finally have time to open up my messages again. You know how busy things get. I'm here now.

Aventurine

So, friend, tell me what you need.

I hope you've been enjoying your games, Aventurine.

There's something I must ask you.

From:

guaranteedwins

Now this is a surprise. I didn't think you'd reach out to me first.

What do you need from me, Sunday?

From:

makedamnsure

Is it? We're imprinted on each other, I assume there should be some sort of communication between the two of us. Unless you prefer I don't reach out.

From:

guaranteedwins

For starters, I thought you wouldn't want to stay imprinted with me. You're not under any obligation to do so.

I, personally, don't mind the arrangement but I think more than "communication" is required to maintain it.

From:

makedamnsure

If I'm honest, I dislike the idea of frivolous bonds that are broken without any reason.

[It's the exact reason why Rinne frustrates him so much.]

And I agree. Therefore, I require that you tell me if you are imprinted on any others besides me.

Fair enough. I won't think about breaking it as long as you are satisfied. It's cute that you don't think our bond as frivolous.

Anyway... Why do you want to know? Isn't that between them and me?

From:

makedamnsure

Then we're on the same page.

[How is it cute, though... Sunday frowns softly.]

As for your other imprints, should you have any others... I'm curious.

From:

guaranteedwins

Suffice to say that I think we both have other imprinted partners. If anything, it seems to be encouraged.

From:

makedamnsure

Encouraged, of course. But no less dangerous or personal.

Are you avoiding my question?

From:

guaranteedwins

I might answer it clearly if you tell me why it's so important for you to know.

From:

makedamnsure

There is nothing wrong with being curious when you might be going off imprinting on whoever might come along.

[Okay, Sunday...]

From:

guaranteedwins

Aren't you doing the same? I can't say I understand where this curiosity is coming from.

From:

makedamnsure

[... He's trying to resist the urge to just delete this message window completely.]

And why can't I be curious about you?

From:

guaranteedwins

Then why not ask me questions about myself? Wouldn't that be better?

From:

makedamnsure

...

Do you care to have multiple bonds?

From:

guaranteedwins

[ Sigh... This bird really won't let it go. ]

I can see this really bothers you.

To be honest, as they seem to be something of a requirement, I'd prefer quality over quantity.

From:

makedamnsure

... At least that so much is smart on your part.

[Maybe he can be content so long as Aventurine doesn't have too many bonds.

Even still. That annoyance is still sitting with him. He'll probably need 3-5 business days to stop giving Aventurine the cold shoulder.]

From:

guaranteedwins

Are you implying that I am not strategic?

Ouch. As the one called "Aventurine of Stratagems," that cuts deep. You might have shattered my confidence.

From:

makedamnsure

You had already expressed interest in wanting to get to know our fellow residents here. How am I to know if you were hoping for a full house or a royal flush or not?

[Haha, cards joke.

...]

From:

guaranteedwins

Full House or Royal Flush? Oh no, you're thinking too small. I want the deck stacked, Sunday. Every bit of information gleaned gives me a bigger picture of the people around us. Once you know that, it's not even really a game of chance at this point.

Mostly, though, it was a test.

From:

makedamnsure

Then perhaps you are more of a strategist than a gambler.

So long as you understand the risks.

From:

guaranteedwins

In my experience, someone can be both.

Thankfully, I normally am fully aware of the risks before ever laying a card down. This place just happens to be one of the rare exceptions.

From:

makedamnsure

Then be careful as you go about your business.

[Huff.]

From:

guaranteedwins

Oh my. Is that concern I'm detecting, Sunday?

Will wonders never cease.

From:

makedamnsure

There is no need to tease me if that's what you're trying to do.

If we are bonded, it's only fair that I am allowed to keep a few tabs on you.

From:

guaranteedwins

Then am I allowed to keep tabs on you in return? You and your other pairs?

From:

makedamnsure

...

[...]

No.

From:

guaranteedwins

Then I guess I just can't tell you how many I have, if I have any others at all.

From:

makedamnsure

This wasn't supposed to be an equal ask.

[Aventurine was just supposed to listen to him and do what he's told-]

From:

guaranteedwins

This is to be a partnership, Sunday, not an Employer/Employee situation.

From:

makedamnsure

Did we officially agree to anything like that? If we have, I don't recall.

From:

guaranteedwins

Technically, we're still discussing terms. We both want to keep this little arrangement, but we haven't discussed conditions.

From:

makedamnsure

[...]

Alright, then what exactly are your conditions?

From:

guaranteedwins

That's the condition. An actual partnership on both sides. I get to use you and you get to use me evenly. Friends, even. You should know that I treat my friends well.
