Aventurine huffs as he slicks his damp bangs out of the way of his vision while his eyes try to adjust through the semi thick fog that hangs in the air as rain pelts down on the building he's in. The very moment he had step foot inside the abandoned place it had begun to rain and caused a small flood within the streets of the city that it caused him to take shelter for a good hour or so. Exhaustion was taking a toll on his body as his fingers barely hold the grip of the pistol in his hand with the hint of eye bags forming, a sign that he needed to sleep as soon as possible– if it weren't for the building being so open and allowing anything to crawl in.

All he has to do is patiently wait for the rain to slow down or stop so that he could be on his mary way back to Ratio and give him the samples he has requested for. Yet with the way the sky claps above with an echo of lightning that nearly makes him jolt out of his seat, he knows it'll be for a while until he could return. It's no better that his walkie-talkie is busted too so he can't flick to the channel and bother his favorite scientist over the flickering of static. If anything, he'd much rather listen to any voice if it meant to shut up the rain.

And with a chuckle, he leans his head back and speaks into the room with a wide smirk. "Ugh, what a day. And here I was thinking it was gonna be a simple, solo run."

Yet when he truly believed he was alone, the sound of footsteps approaching causes him to perk up and immediately take aim with his gun at the darkness behind him before calling out in a deep, cautious tone. "Come out. Now."
