[ Ratio settles down next to Aventurine, wrinkling his nose just slightly when he realizes the food is cold. Glancing at Aventurine's also cold food, he decides to be impulsive—just once—and reaches over to pluck the meal right out of the gambler's hands without warning.

With one hand over, he casts an Imaginary enclosure over the food, and with the hand below, he uses Imaginary energy to heat it. Whatever Aventurine's response, Ratio stays silent, opting to concentrate on the task he's given himself, which will take at least a minute to complete.

[ Once sufficiently heated, he releases his command over the energy and holds the food out for Aventurine to take back with a small, crooked smile, a little vulnerable in the way it looks so open and melancholic. ]

I will admit I've always wanted to try that at least once.

[ He's just never had a reason to back home, surrounded by the convenience of kitchen appliances, food synthesizers and delivery apps. ]
