[god of his nation?? okay, nahida didn't mention that, damb. he blinks, but figures that's probably not important right now.]
Pardon if I startled you—she mentioned your name to me, and you seem to be someone she cares greatly about. [...] Were you intending to form a team with her?
[OF COURSE SHE DIDN'T. But, oh--he looks a little surprised to hear that, but then he waves a hand.]
She cares about all of us. It's part of what makes her such a capable leader. [Shut up Kaveh. He nods, though.] Yes--she, ah, asked me to. But I'm an architect, not a warrior, and I'm not at full strength here besides. I can defend myself well enough, but I would certainly prefer to have someone highly capable close by, just as a precaution.
[Kaveh would certainly like to think that people will look out for each other... but he's not young and innocent enough to be that naive anymore. He'll maintain his faith regardless, but that doesn't mean he won't do what he can to look out for Nahida too.]
Mm. We agreed to reconvene over the matter in a day or so, so that neither of us felt obliged to be locked into the decision.
But we get along well, I think, and no one else has brought up the matter of teams to me so far. Well, save for Rang Lee, but I don't think he was genuinely offering...
[Can't believe Kaveh is going to be the first murderer after all
Kaveh just nods, though. He's fairly certain that he and Nahida will both agree on this, given they individually saw worth in Hikari, but he knows how to be polite.]
Alright. And don't feel obligated to accept, of course--but I'll speak with her and see what she says.

Kaveh, correct? You are... acquainted with Nahida?
no subject
Ah--yes. She's the god of my nation. Why?

She is lucky to have you, nevertheless. [a beat] Though the truth is, she's actually the one who extended the offer to me.
no subject
So... were you... considering her offer?

But his shoulders relax a little at the knowledge that he hasn't... overstepped, in any way.]
Well, in that case, I think it's alright to say you're welcome to join us if you'd like.

I am honoured. You do not need to rush into the decision, though. As I told Nahida, I will not take offence if you find someone better suited.

All right. Again, I am flattered, Kaveh. If you two decide to have me, I will do everything I can to help you both.
no subject
Of course--and please don't hesitate to rely on us, either. [But he will let Hikari get back to his sword-ing!!]
