But Kaveh is here in his new fit!! He is flitting around taking photos of the decor with his phone. Man, he sure learned how to use that thing quickly, didn't he?]
You think so? [Waow!! I'm sure there are models and studios in genshin probably. It's fine. But he looks around curiously.] It would make for some visually striking advertisements.
[Gotta say, when I glanced at this tag in my e-mail, I thought it said pooping.]
Oh... You flatter me, Mr. Kaveh. [He has the decency to be modest!! He even covers the bottom half of his face with his sleeve.] It is not a real interest of mine. Being in the limelight, I mean.
Ah, I understand. I'm the same way. [Surprising, perhaps, given the way he dresses, but. Kaveh doesn't shut up about architecture either so maybe not so much.]
[Yeah!!! Sometimes you just want to fool people into thinking you're happy and successful when you are neither of those things.]
Oh--no, I don't care about things like that. Debates and presentations and such are common at the Akademiya. [He just doesn't really seek attention or fame or anything.]
[We really need to do a depression chart of some kind because apparently there are SO MANY people here who have depression? Hello? LOOKS AT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO NEED THERAPY.]
I'm not sure if I would call that an academic debate necessarily... Are you a professor?
It certainly wasn't. But he'd never survive in the Akademiya anyway. [Alhaitham's an egoist and an asshole but at least he debates his position instead of just being a shit about it] A professor? Oh, no, I'm an architect. I give lectures sometimes, but not all that often.
D is there, but has taken... a break? He's sitting on one of the benches with a drink which he probably shouldn't have in a museum (me screaming voice). That's okay! It's fine.]
[KAVEH. YOU MAY ASK ABOUT LOS ANGELES WHICH IS A CITY I MUST PRETEND TO KNOW ABOUT FOR RP WHEN I'M A BUMPKIN.
The question surprises him, and it shows on his face! No one has really asked him this yet, hilarious.]
I have always had a connection with nature. So did my father and also my grandfather. Nature is simple and easy to understand. Things are never muddled with complexities like good and evil, right or wrong.
It's only kill or be killed to them. Survival. Some animals have social circles with more nuisances, yes, but their world functions on the weak and the strong.
[Aww, D. That makes him smile; D is still a weirdo, but he's not bad to talk to.]
Of course I do. What topic of conversation could be more sacred among scholars than the exploration of differing philosophies? Whether you're defending your own stance or considering someone else's.
Kaveh doesn't do that, though. He just walks up to D, hands in his pockets, Mehrak floating stoically behind him. He was healed at the end of trial, but he looks so wrung out that it's almost like he wasn't.]
D. [...He opens his mouth, then closes it again, like he's at a loss.]
Kaveh lunges at D with a knife actually--no just kidding. He looks at where D's sitting for a long moment, gaze dropping down to T-chan--but then he shakes his head.]
You're not going to tell me anything, are you? [It's a question, but not really.] If I ask.
[I DON'T BELIEVE YOU I THINK THIS WAS YOUR REVENGE ON AKI SPECIFICALLY
He seems a little surprised, though; mostly because Rang specifically said he wouldn't, which. Y'know. Isn't that surprising. He looks uncertain, but he nods to show he's listening.]

W0, Tues
D is in here with T-chan at his feet. They are…
wandering around as if they are in an art gallery because what the fck is this?]
Perhaps it’s a modeling studio, T-chan…?
no subject
But Kaveh is here in his new fit!! He is flitting around taking photos of the decor with his phone. Man, he sure learned how to use that thing quickly, didn't he?]
Oh--Count D, isn't it?
no subject
Ah, yes. Hello, Mr. Kaveh.
[T-chan huffs in acknowledgement. Not Kaveh taking photos of just the decor.]
no subject
And yeah Kaveh's photo album so far is just 100% architecture shit. What a nerd.
Kaveh waves a little at T-chan, hesitantly, like he's not sure this is the appropriate thing to do--then he turns back to D.]
Am I in your way? I can leave, if you had plans in here.
no subject
T-chan can't talk or wave, but he does LOOK at Kaveh at least. So there's that. He's looking. Maybe the fluffy tail wags very briefly. VERY BRIEFLY.]
No, not at all. I was only trying to see what it may be. I've never seen anything like it.
no subject
Also what the fuck is with this tsuntsun creature??? PLEASE.]
It looks like some kind of artist's space, don't you think?
no subject
Yes. I was thinking it was a studio for modeling... Like the ones for luxury brands.
[Kaveh like what the FCK?]
no subject
You think so? [Waow!! I'm sure there are models and studios in genshin probably. It's fine. But he looks around curiously.] It would make for some visually striking advertisements.
no subject
For clothes and accessories mostly. They are easy places to shoot because they're contained. I've never been involved in one personally, however...
no subject
Really? I'm surprised, you look like you could be. [His pwetty outfit]
no subject
Oh... You flatter me, Mr. Kaveh. [He has the decency to be modest!! He even covers the bottom half of his face with his sleeve.] It is not a real interest of mine. Being in the limelight, I mean.
no subject
Kaveh nods, though, understanding.]
Ah, I understand. I'm the same way. [Surprising, perhaps, given the way he dresses, but. Kaveh doesn't shut up about architecture either so maybe not so much.]
no subject
Look. He gets it. Sometimes you dress like this, but you do not want the spot light on you. You just want to look pretty. Sue them.]
You must have had a time the other day then. When Mr. Rang forced you to hop right on stage in front of the rest of us.
no subject
Oh--no, I don't care about things like that. Debates and presentations and such are common at the Akademiya. [He just doesn't really seek attention or fame or anything.]
no subject
I'm not sure if I would call that an academic debate necessarily... Are you a professor?
no subject
It certainly wasn't. But he'd never survive in the Akademiya anyway. [Alhaitham's an egoist and an asshole but at least he debates his position instead of just being a shit about it] A professor? Oh, no, I'm an architect. I give lectures sometimes, but not all that often.
no subject
[Not that he thinks Rang can win a debate of anything.]
Ah. Do you enjoy it?
no subject
As for the question--]
To be honest, it's miserable more than it's not. I don't recommend going into it. But I've built my life around it.
[sometimes you both love and despise your job]
w1, mon
D is there, but has taken... a break? He's sitting on one of the benches with a drink which he probably shouldn't have in a museum (me screaming voice). That's okay! It's fine.]
no subject
ALSO HELP, D!!! YOUR RULE-BREAKING!!!! Kaveh isn't the rules police, though, so he will come join him.]
What do you think about this place?
no subject
IT'S FINE. It's fine. He probably recycles. He bows his head in a nod at Kaveh.]
I enjoy it. There was one in Los Angeles I would visit sometimes to experience the natural life that filled the world millions of years ago.
no subject
Can I ask... what got you interested in nature, anyway?
no subject
The question surprises him, and it shows on his face! No one has really asked him this yet, hilarious.]
I have always had a connection with nature. So did my father and also my grandfather. Nature is simple and easy to understand. Things are never muddled with complexities like good and evil, right or wrong.
no subject
But, ah. He tilts his head, considering that.]
I guess that's true. It's complex, but in a different way from human nature.
no subject
It's only kill or be killed to them. Survival. Some animals have social circles with more nuisances, yes, but their world functions on the weak and the strong.
no subject
...Admittedly, though, I don't think I'd enjoy a world like that. I'd miss the complexity of emotion too much.
no subject
Many creatures have a range of emotions, Mr. Kaveh.
Though it’s true they do not have the complexity of higher moral thinking.
no subject
no subject
You like those sorts of things? Debate and art philosophy?
no subject
Of course I do. What topic of conversation could be more sacred among scholars than the exploration of differing philosophies? Whether you're defending your own stance or considering someone else's.
w1, sat
D is not hard to find. He's in the park, sitting on one of the benches with T-chan sitting beside him. Just looking off at the sky.]
no subject
Kaveh doesn't do that, though. He just walks up to D, hands in his pockets, Mehrak floating stoically behind him. He was healed at the end of trial, but he looks so wrung out that it's almost like he wasn't.]
D. [...He opens his mouth, then closes it again, like he's at a loss.]
no subject
He glances over, but does not say anything for a moment, like he's giving Kaveh time to say something instead. He smiles faintly, wryly.]
You may sit if you'd like.
no subject
Kaveh lunges at D with a knife actually--no just kidding. He looks at where D's sitting for a long moment, gaze dropping down to T-chan--but then he shakes his head.]
You're not going to tell me anything, are you? [It's a question, but not really.] If I ask.
no subject
I can tell you some of what I know.
no subject
He seems a little surprised, though; mostly because Rang specifically said he wouldn't, which. Y'know. Isn't that surprising. He looks uncertain, but he nods to show he's listening.]
no subject
Rin didn’t fight. He ran away. The lake was poisoned, and he died from it trying to swim across.
no subject
no subject
It was their own personal reasons. They could see he was still on the path of taking many things for granted.
