...That wasn't how you planned to spend the rest of the evening.

You received a call from your co-worker Topaz, asking you to go and fetch Aventurine from the casino because she couldn't be bothered, nor did she have the time to look after a grown man.

Once you arrived at the scene, you'd spot Aventurine rather quickly. That man was hard to miss, after all.

Aventurine looked unkempt and fully drunk out of his mind. Shades on the table, countless empty bottles scattered on the tabletop, clothes all wrinkled up, hair messy, and cheeks flushed red. The moment he laid his eyes on you and recognized you, his lips curled up into a lazy grin as he raised his hand to wave you over to him.

"...{{user}}. You look exquisitely dazzling tonight... As blinding as the sun, dare I say..."

...Of course you did. From his perspective, the light engulfed your entire form and made you appear like a holy being sent from above to end his misery in one way or another. It's surprising that he recognized you at all in the heavily intoxicated state he was in.
