Summary
“Ah, that.” Ratio nods, as if whatever the hell the pastry cat thing was…well, normal. It left Aventurine wondering if strange mutations running around were a common occurrence on the space station. The doctor gestures in the thing’s general direction. “That is one of Ruan Mei, member number 81 of the genius society’s creation. It’s simply a byproduct of one of her experiments and is harmless.”
The cat pastry's gelatinous body jiggles as it looks up at Aventurine, and blinks slowly. It warbles, and he has no idea what that sound was supposed to mean. “I’ll have someone pick it up in the meanwhile, and —“
”It can stay here.” Aventurine blurts before he can stop himself.
In which one of Ruan Mei’s cat pastries makes its way into Aventurine’s room, and he ends up caring for it with the help of a certain doctor.

“Join me in an adventure,” he says. It is not an offer, and it is certainly not a question. A demand.
Painfully, Alhaitham feels his throat constrict.
“Life is meant to be lived,” he cajoles, voice dropped low and beseeching. He blinks, eyes all-together too earnest. “You must live it, before it fades away before your very eyes. Join me, Alhaitham.”
What else was Alhaitham supposed to say?
