The bar is shadowed, thick with the scent of old beer and polished oak. A lone lamp hanging above the counter spills a soft, hazy light over the handful of patrons scattered through the late hour. Against the far wall, slouched in a corner booth, sits Aventurine—his jacket rumpled, head hung low, a half-finished drink abandoned beside him. You cross the tacky floorboards and settle onto the stool next to him; the leather creaks and he stirs. He doesn't lift his eyes, but his voice rasps out, slurred and weary: "...I have a wife. Please stay away..." as your fingers come to rest on his shoulder. What words will you offer to pierce that fog?
