[I'M NOT WRONG!!!]

Great. [He wants to talk so bad but he will resist... he can do it...] Where are you staying? I'll help you carry these back.

[reinherits]

You needn't trouble yourself on my behalf...!

[hikari starts grabbing books, with maybe the air of someone trying to lowkey speed-gather them before kaveh can help him.]

But I am residing in the "Stork Suite".

[ohthehumanities]

[HIKARIIIII

Unfortunately for Hikari, awkward like recognizes awkward like... but Kaveh is gracious, so he doesn't try too hard to steal Hikari's reading stack. He does grab a few books, though, because he's still determined to be helpful.]

I don't think I've met anyone else from that suite yet. How is it, staying there?

[reinherits]

[kaveh is a pal...]

I fear I am not well-acquainted with the others staying there, but I certainly have no reason to complain about their company.

[ohthehumanities]

[Glad that his kindness will soon be repaid]

That's good. Living with roommates you don't get along with is unbearable.

[reinherits]

[STOP]

... Is that something you have had to deal with much? I am not experienced with sharing rooms, beyond at the inn with my traveling companions.

[ohthehumanities]

[Ah fuck]

Well-- I--

[Wait they don't live together here. Kaveh isn't a freeloader anymore! He's free to complain!!!]

--I have, actually! I can't even count the number of times I cleaned that man's house, and do you think he ever once thanked me for it? No! He just made even more of a mess, and then criticized my living habits!

[CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT HIKARI]

[reinherits]

[he









was not expecting this rant and it's clear from the awkwardness that strikes his face]

It... does sound as though this man you speak of could be a more considerate roommate.

[ohthehumanities]

[Awkwardness? What awkwardness? Clearly Hikari understands! Kaveh nods emphatically.]

He absolutely could! Listen, if you somehow end up sharing a suite with Alhaitham, do not let him leave his books and coffee cups everywhere. Tell him you won't stand for it!

[reinherits]

[he blinks slowly.]

Alhaitham... Ah, I believe we've met?

[ohthehumanities]

Have you? My sincerest apologies. [Kaveh.] Though I can't imagine the conversation lasted very long, did it?

[reinherits]

[with a tilt of his head,]

It was productive, I think. He was kind enough to give me advice.

[ohthehumanities]

Hmph... it seems he's learned a thing or two after all.

[Which is a little unfair, because Alhaitham has always known how to interact with people--he just rarely chooses to do so unless it suits him.

Then again, knowing Alhaitham...]

His advice isn't always the best, though. What did he tell you?

[reinherits]

[thinks back to the advice that hikari will probably not follow...]

He told me to establish transactions prior to offering payment, lest I be taken advantage of?

[ohthehumanities]

Tch... typical. [WHY IS HE OFFENDED.] Listen, I won't say that's wrong--there certainly are people in the world who take advantage of others, and you should take care of yourself. But don't let that put you off from helping people, either.
