Summary
“Apologies Hyacine, but there’s nothing to listen to. I’m fine.”
“You’re running a very high fever, I can tell you have a headache just looking at you, and you can barely stand! You should be resting in your room, not going off to fight titankin for training!”
“As my physician, you should know Hyacine, that I do not get sick. As I’ve said. I’m fine.”
Mydei is not sick. He's not.
Hyacine says otherwise and Phainon is there to make sure his prince doesn't keel over.

Summary
“Please don’t slam the books.” A stern voice cuts through the stillness.
Phainon jumps in fright, clutching at his chest to will his heartbeat to slow as he turns to face the person who interrupted his brooding. As soon as he takes in what’s before him, he forgets how to think.
A man stands across from him, arms folded neatly across his chest, watching him behind a pair of simple black frames that suggest he’s already written Phainon off as a lost cause. He’s sharp and poised, biceps bulging even beneath his loose-fitting jumper, and the worn edges of the neckline leave a sliver of his clavicle on display that Phainon can’t seem to look away from.

Summary
As they come face to face, Veritas's fingers twitch against Aventurine's; his voice is strained as he asks, "Are you trying to seduce me?"
Aventurine isn't easily startled, but Veritas's question is so simply preposterous that he can't help but chuckle. "You're joking," he says.
"You're holding my hands," Veritas points out.
"Well, you allowed me to hold them."
"I'm cold."
"So, I'm not trying to seduce you," Aventurine says, thoroughly amused. "I'm just keeping you warm."

Summary
A few years after Professor Veritas Ratio meddled with his life and setting it towards a relatively better path, Aventurine had, by now, made a name for himself with a promising career in one of the largest conglomerates, the IPC.
But he is faced with the stark reality that no matter how well -dressed he is, no matter how better placed he is in life, he is still that same untrustworthy Sigonian with a dirtied history.
When his and the honorable professor's paths cross again, Aventurine is forced to accept a few truths, and realize new ones.

Summary
Professor Veritas Ratio finds himself having to host a mysterious, troubled college student named Aventurine in his university quarters, and gets caught in the storm that closely follows his heels.
“Promise me you won’t speak of this to anyone,” he instructed, his tone grave, almost threatening. What he was about to propose—it was something unconventional, for want of a better word. “This does not leave the walls of our quarters. Understood?”
Aventurine managed a faint smirk despite the fatigue. "You have my word," he replied, the corners of his mouth turning up ever so slightly. “My lips are sealed.”
“No,” Ratio grumbled, ladling a spoonful of chicken, vegetables, and broth. “I need that mouth open.”
Aventurine’s smile widened into a full-on grin. “My. Are you actually going to spoon feed me?” His voice took on a more lively tone; it was as if he forgot that he was supposed to be on the verge of fainting from hunger.
Dr. Ratio realizes too late that he had given this student more than an inch, and that was soon to become a mile.
