Summary
“Doctor…”
Ratio briefly snapped his attention to the fellow colleague who called to him, before returning his gaze onto the merman before him: A beautiful creature of the sea, with a long tail of shimmering emerald scales that scintillated an almost hypnotic light and a small, lithe upper body. Long, golden locks flowed, brilliant and looking so soft.

Summary
He should be focusing on the work on his desk in front of him. Instead, he is reduced to a quivering mess at the thought of something as simple as prayer.
(It is not so simple to Aventurine, not so simple to Kakavasha. The thought of prayer alone does not leave him anxious. What does is the emptiness that surrounds him, in this room and in this life he lives. With a cold lump of dread he acknowledges the fact that he could not pray, even if he wanted to indulge the longing, because he only has one set of palms where there should be two.
The prayer would not be complete if he spoke the words alone. They require a partner, someone he can trust with this fragile piece of himself and these sacred words that will one day be lost because he is the last one to know their cadence. And surely that is where his gifted luck draws the line, because no such person exists–)
There is a knock on his office door.
aventurine has not prayed in a long time. ratio changes that

Summary
“Ah,” Aventurine said, rubbing his arm, “so that’s why they had us refresh all our vaccinations before this trip. We’re not in any danger of falling ill, are we? I’d hate to ruin such a nice vacation.”
“It’s unclear,” Ratio said. Aventurine side-eyed him, looking less relaxed now. But if those folktales had any merit to them at all, “more likely, no.”
They were approaching the town now, inclined turquoise shingles peeking out over the edges of the treeline. It seemed like every building here was overgrown with flowers—flowers burst from the vines on white stucco walls, bouquets hung from the bucket-laden stalls at every corner, and almost all the windows were decorated with boxes abundant with blooms.
“It’s beautiful, but,” he grimaced, voicing Ratio’s thoughts aloud, “a little morbid, isn’t it?”
To a scientist, mythology and fairy tales are simply veneers that warp and obscure the truth. And to a doctor, diseases are problems that can be solved with logic rather than love.
