[Kaveh huffs, though it's wry, and a little amused.]
That was nothing. I can't count the number of times the Matra have been called for debates in the Akademiya. --Not on me, of course, just in general. [But he gets Kazuki's point, and he shifts back to seriousness.] ...I just believe that people have a responsibility to do what they can for each other. I don't mean to sow discord, but when I see people like that, who are antagonistic or self-serving... I worry about the consequences of allowing them to speak freely and without challenge.
...That being said, I do prefer that they're open and public about their views. [So there is some merit in staying calm; the last thing they need is people secretly plotting, which is definitely not going to happen, because it's not like people make PCs or anything]
Oh--no, I'm not. I go back and give lectures sometimes, though, or use their resources if I need to. And I'm--acquainted with the Scribe there. [Hm. Yeah. Let's put it that way.
ANYWAY] The Matra are our disciplinary officers--a bit like law enforcement for the Akademiya, I suppose you could say. They keep things under control.
Oh, I wish you could've said that to his face! Then again, he'd probably just look at you all stone-faced. [WHY CAN'T ALHAITHAM HAVE FUNNY REACTIONS... WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS CUTE LITTLE JUNIOR... TCH
This other statement also makes him laugh but for a completely different reason.]
Scholars get very passionate about their research. Especially when it's challenged by people of other Darshans--that is, different fields of study. [dorm wars]

[ it's. pretty familiar, honestly, and that is... a little concerning. hm. ]
Well, at least we'll know who to turn to if someone turns out to be "erased" on Thursday. [ bad joke. anyway. ]
I thought you were an architect. You're not still in school, are you?
[ at his age??? is this like a career change thing, or, ]

But he shrugs a little; it doesn't bother him to be called that, and it's not necessarily inaccurate, so he won't argue. Instead--]
What? No, I graduated years ago. [With honors, like a nerd]

Campus police, then. What kind of debates are people having there if they need the police to step in?
