So that's what they look like! I've heard of them, but I've never seen one myself. [Genshin be like "cars? no. rock n roll? yes."] I play a little music too, actually, but it's only a hobby.
Well, our roads are quite different, after all... [Maybe he'll go home and ask Faruzan to help him invent cars. That would be fun. Also I googled and the actual instrument doesn't even have a name in genshin, but this is close enough, so--] Ah, I play the dutar. It's a two-stringed instrument--somewhat similar in shape to a guitar, if I recall correctly, though I haven't seen one in a long time.
Do you think so? [Hmmm! He looks thoughtful.] Well, I would be happy to show you if I can. Though, I'm sure you'd be much better at playing it than I would--I just like to dabble in creative hobbies when I can.
Why not? You never know what those places are going to have stashed in a corner gathering dust.
...I wouldn't say that, though. I've only been playing guitar for a few years. I've never even tried other instruments before, let alone one with just two strings.
That's true. I do find treasures tucked away in shop corners sometimes. [Shopping fun... he misses shopping... he wants to replace Alhaitham's rugs...
Oh right, music]
Well, if we can find one, I'll be happy to show you. ...Actually...
[Don't their phones play music? Hmmm. He looks thoughtful, then pulls it out. It takes some tapping around since he's still learning how to use it, but eventually, he pulls up this song!]
Something like a performance venue, you mean? Yes, I could design something like that. [Wow he does have confidence in there. Amazing] I'd need to do a little research to get the precise specifications in order, so I'd probably try to track down the designers of Zubayr Theater, or at least look over their materials--but I could do a lot with that sort of building.
[ kazuki may not be an architect but he does think it's fun to watch people talk about the things they're passionate about. ]
I wouldn't mind seeing what you could come up with, even if you don't actually build the place. I get the feeling you'd make it something really cool to look at.
Oh, it won't take that long. Mehrak, wake up, I need my design screen.
[Mehrak beep-boops!! It hovers in the air and begins to project a blank screen. If Kazuki doesn't stop him Kaveh will just start drawing a design right here... I am making up how Mehrak works it's fine]

--But don't copy my example. You should get proper rest. And don't become an architect, either. [Kaveh.]
no subject
[ not that musicians get proper rest either but you know ]
no subject
Oh? That's wonderful. What instrument do you play?
no subject
Electric guitar.
[ it's still strapped around his shoulders so he just kind of rotates it a little for kaveh to see better ]
I'd like to learn others, too, but for now it's just this.

What do you play?

I don't think I've heard one of those before, but now I kind of want to. Maybe if there's a music store somewhere in the city, they'll have one?

Ah! Yes, it sounds something like this.
no subject
[ he won't
yay music! kazuki listens very intently, and actually looks a little impressed? ]
That's... more than I would have expected to hear from two strings. It almost sounds like how you play electric without an amp. That's pretty amazing.
no subject
[He won't, yeah
Kaveh looks pleased that he likes it, though!!]
It's all in the technique. I've listened to some true masters perform at the bazaar, and they can make the sound fill the whole space.
no subject
You're an architect, though, right? You could probably design a place with great acoustics for shows, too.

Would you like me to draw up a design?

Whoa. It's like something straight out of a movie.

I'm not sure what you mean. Mehrak's core comes from ancient technology. [Make genshin make sense]
