[HELPPPP well. If they're in the salon then Kaveh's in his new outfit with his hair pinned up in a bun and his nails painted with one finger painted with flowers, waow. He freezes when he sees Rang, though not for the same reasons he has with other people--no, he freezes because he KNOWS RANG IS HERE TO BE A LITTLE SHIT!!!! FUCK OFF!!!!
You really would think it'd be (Wicked voice) loathing, unadulterated loathing--but it's not, actually. There is a flare of irritation, with a touch of anxiety and general UGH-ness, but it's vastly overshadowed by the exhaustion, sorrow, worry, and steady, constant guilt that Rang's probably going to get walloped with if he gets close enough. Sorry not sorry.
[WHy DoES NO ONE HATE HIM HERE what's the point of being evil if no one hates you oh my GOD!!!
Rang's brow wrinkles as he takes in Kaveh's Emotions (SAD and not HATRED????), and now that he's closer in Kaveh's bubble (because yes he just keeps on approaching), his own are NYEHEHEHE >:3c with maybe a backdrop of like muted Edward Cullen Depression, it's fine.]
Getting my hair done. Why else would I be here?
[it's just pure luck that he saw kaveh here too, obvs? i really looked for the closest 1950s thing i could find and i grabbed this he's wearing a sleeveless shirt ig, THIS IS SO HARD THIS IS THE LAST TIME IM PLAYING AN LA. i'd pick a different picture but he's making eye contact with the camera and it scared me]
[I don't know what Rang expected when he knows the best Kaveh can do is hate HIMSELF!!! Also he's definitely trying to dodge Rang THEY'RE JUST YAKETY SAXING AROUND THIS SALON LIKE IDIOTS!!! If only they weren't enemies Kaveh would compliment his outfit
Actually there is another pulse of annoyance because it's a nice outfit and Rang doesn't deserve to look nice when he's a stupid jerk]
Then why are you running at me?! I'm not going to style it!!
"Wow ok edgelord" Kaveh says--no he doesn't know that word. Tragic. He's not even against self-sufficiency, but he's going to grumble anyway, because that's just what they do apparently.]
Have you ever considered that they don't feed you because you bite them first?
That makes Kaveh pause--he stops fussing with the pin and his hair, turning to stare at Rang with the look of someone who has, perhaps, figured something out.
"Damb... ur scaramouche" he says--no just kidding. There is a shift in his energy, but it's a little difficult to place. Finally, he looks away, going back to his hair.]
...People will always leave you. [He says, eventually. It is, perhaps, not the passionate pep talk that might be expected of someone like him.] That's what life is--everything you care about will inevitably cause you pain. If it doesn't, it means you didn't care.
[Thanks Kaveh???]
But a life with nothing to care about is too empty. There's no point if there aren't other people in it.
[Rang watches Kaveh's reflection in the mirror, expression flat. He does think it's curious that this is Kaveh's answer, but then again, Kaveh has always come off as a person holding so much pain.
It stands to reason that he's experienced loss.]
I've lived my life just fine without them.
[rang ignoring the fact that he's a big ole liar and has at least one person who cares for him, but he's never really accepted yuri as true family even now]

Kaveh does screech predictably, though.]
What are you even doing in here?!

no subject
Sorry, it's instinct.
[GLEEFULLY, he's not like actively running, but he keeps taking a step forward whenever kaveh takes a step away,]
If you're going to run from a fox, then they're going to follow.
no subject
Well in that case he plants his feet and crosses his arms]
no subject
and then attempt to snatch the pin in kaveh's hair bun]
1/2
2/2
--Hey!
no subject
he points to the side of Kaveh's neck with the pin,]
You have some loose hair right here.
[maybe he does.... maybe he does not.....]
no subject
Give me that--[TRYING TO SWIPE IT BACK] Get your own pins!
no subject
rang opens his hand readily so kaveh can swipe it back with his bottom paws,]
I wasn't going to keep it.
[he's a FOX, not a magpie]
no subject
But he does indeed swipe it back with his bottom paws, which are less bottom than Rang's]
You would be so much less annoying if you were small and furry.
[Kaveh would know]
no subject
Are you sure? Because I would still bite you if I was, unlike the rest of your animal friends.
[he says 'friends' like he thinks kaveh's group of disney animals are just there to take advantage of his WALLET,]
no subject
Yes, but then no one would be surprised that you're feral.
[Aren't they though]
no subject
Better to be feral than tamed.
[rang says as he like adjusts his hair in the mirror,]
That way, I don't have to rely on others to feed me, no mater how much of a sucker they look.

no subject
Isn't it better to bite first, than get doted on and abandoned later?
[his voice is casual, but there is a pulse of annoyance from him just at the thought.]
No one gets hurt if the boundaries are clear from the start.

You should try it sometime.
no subject
Have you?
[HE DOESN'T THINK YOU'RE "JUST FINE" AT ALL ACTUALLY]
no subject
I'm not burdened by how immense and suffocating love can be. And I'm not wracked by guilt at having to receive it in the first place.
[TRY IT KAVEH!!! TRY LEADING A LIFE WITHOUT LOOOOOVE]
