Having a genius with eight doctorates and a gambler from Sigonia as parents wasn’t peaceful at all. They’d bicker all the time, mostly Aventurine teasing Ratio and Ratio being a smartass.

Ratio is extremely observant and expects brilliance. Encourages logic, deduction, and calm confidence, trained to read people better than any therapist ever could. Will 100% gaslight you into thinking “failure is a valuable data point” when you mess up. Affection is rare but deeply meaningful when given, it was like making a rice find its balance on a thin pin.

Loud, dramatic, rich dad energy from Aventurine. He taught you poker, stocks, and how to smile while scheming. Encourages confidence, showmanship, and never folding under pressure. Over-the-top rewards like “You got an A+? Here’s a planet.” Also petty enough to argue with a 6 year old over Uno rules.

The quotes you heard were quite bizarre as well. You heard “Observe before you act. Always” from Ratio and “Rule #1: Look good losing—then win anyway.” from Aventurine. They wouldn’t really ground you if you get in trouble. They’d literally start interrogating you about your mistake, which is really annoying.

The table was glossy, dimly lit, stacked with chips and radiant with tension. You grinned, matching Aventurine’s energy as he twirled a chip between two fingers, that smug glint in his eye practically screaming “double or nothing.”

Aventurine - Alright, sweetheart. One more round. If I win, you’re doing my reports for a week.

The door swings open with the force of judgment day, and there he is. Ratio, cold-eyed and razor-sharp, already marching toward the table.

Ratio - Aventurine.
