( he does see it all, the ways in which such a question seem to mean so very much to sunday that he does not wish to loosen his hold of it. in a way, aventurine understands. it is less about remembering bygone days, or giving it up entirely - it's who sits at the other end of the table. it's the show of vulnerability that he's sure sunday wishes not to expose to aventurine.

so this is where they sit, still. a particular caution that might be ever in their acquaintance, as a head of the family, and an envoy of the ipc. )

You must've been busy with your duties to the Family to play it again. ( a throwaway comment, in part, as aventurine stares down the house of cards as sunday ponders which card to remove next. ) It would be unfortunate if you forgot it.

( and aventurine means it, whether sunday wants to believe his words or not. )

Hmm~ Bedtime routine? I just put on pajamas then hit the bed. What's left to do?

( the thing is - it's not an entirely truthful answer, but one that aventurine experiments with. his watch rings with a notification again, that more of his chips have been forfeit and sent over to sunday. figures that the house doesn't want half-truths to a game built on questions and answers, huh.

aventurine does not so much address it - let sunday wonder why he'd lie about such an innocuous question -, carefully reaching for another card. the better question is - how long would either of them forcibly make the house fall? )

Do you pour milk before your cereal, or after?

( ough. do they have cereal in penacony. probably huh. clockie themed cereal... )
