No it's okay. He looks okay, actually; not exactly thrilled by anything that happened today, but not broken up about catching Yang Guifei, either.]
I'm okay. [Also glancing at Livio's fingie, because he's stubborn and fussy. He looks like he wants to reach out and heal his darkness papercut even though it's probably fine now, but he refrains.] I didn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't that.
[ honestly i'm going to say it works because it's so hilarious. so livio is kabedoned. he tenses up, but it's kaveh, so he's just... staring..... politely standing against this wall and staring down at him ]
.... Um.... Hi, Mister Kaveh.... Were ya trying to get my attention?
[IS Kaveh okay... that's the question of the hour... but only because it's exceedingly obvious that Matsui is not okay and probably NEVER WILL BE AGAIN, WOW. WHO DID THIS TO OUR MATSUI!!!!!!!!
Anyway, Kaveh is here at the small park, sitting under one of the crosses. He's got paper, a brush, and two tubes of paint, and he is touching NONE OF THEM because he's just drinking wine straight from the bottle, radiating sorrow and guilt.]
[ livio still has his aura of forced calm, but he will approach kaveh and sit down next to him. not even asking permission. is this character development? ]
[Fortunately, Kaveh's not too hard to find--he's mostly just wandering, feeling... tired and resigned on top of his sorrow and guilt. He has nowhere to be, so he just nods, and quietly follows Livio without hesitation.]
[After he's done fussing over his teammate, he will come check on HIS SWEET LIVIOOOOOO he's exhausted from using his power but he's brought a warm drink from the cafe :<]
[SWEET LIVIO... Kaveh is... back in the cemetery!! That's fine. He's sitting underneath the tree monument with a notebook and a pen in hand, though he looks up when he hears Livio approaching. His eyes are red--well okay they're always red but they are Emotionally Red this time. Still, he tries for a small smile.]
[ livio is looking for kaveh, but he's not approaching, just.... keeping a bit of distance, trying to check kaveh afar to see if he wants his company ]
[Livio can come find him! Kaveh's not in hiding; he's out at the cross memorial, actually, a notebook on his lap and Mehrak beside him, projecting a bunch of green lines. He still kind of looks like shit, because sometimes you have to watch a really gay vore execution hungover, but at least he's not, like, a total wreck. On the outside, anyway.
But he always wants Livio's company; he glances up from his work, then straightens, giving him a little nod.]
How's Nahri doing?
[Like. Bad, probably, he knows that--but he wants to check in anyway.]
[TRULY STARTERS ON MEMSHARE WEEK ARE JUST "Void. pig. GO."
Wherever they are and whatever they're doing, they will suddenly get AMBUSHED BY PIG NOISE (POISE). At which time, Livio can have this memory, which I'm sure is 100x less wild than anything happening in Trigun.]
[ no sweet kaveh!!!! why was he homeless? why was he living in a bar? livio gapes as this memory plays out, not really understanding what's happening. just that kaveh carried so much guilt and pain with him, and was too ashamed of himself to ask for help, or be honest. until his old friend came. ]
[Kaveh is here...! And upright, at least, so that's good. He's cleaned up and changed into his comfortable IKEA clothes, so from the front, his major injuries aren't visible; there are still some cuts and bruises, but they look like they've been partially healed.
Mostly, he just looks tired; he's got a new necklace that he's toying with, and his gaze is distant, like he's listening to something--but Livio's approach draws him back, and he smiles a little.]
[He's around!! He's still semi-injured, in the same outfit that Livio saw him in yesterday, and he looks tired--but less devastated than he often is on Fridays. Sometimes you go on horrible time loop CYOAs full of death and you're still dealing with it on die day.
But Simon was Livio's teammate, and Setsu and Valerie were young, so--when he sees Livio, he'll stop and come over to him.]
[Livio will be pleased to know that Kaveh is not drinking wine directly from the bottle!!! Shocker. Character growth, or is it just something he'll be doing later... who knows...
He is just sitting outside his warehouse, though, with his knees drawn up and his head resting on them.]
[Okay aside from all the shenanigans that are happening today
Kaveh is actually going to come find Livio first!!He's in new clothes and he's wearing makeup today, which is definitely just because he wants to look pretty for his True Real Not Clickbait Beloved Netzach and not because he's hiding the aftermath of a really awful hangover.
He does actually look better than he did on Sunday, though, genuinely so. He doesn't look great--and in fact his expression is a tiny bit nervous when he approaches--but he seems... better. Like he's pulled himself together, more or less.]
[ kaveh looks flawless as always, livio is just in his suit which has been badly fixed. his hair's a bit wilder than it has been, he's usually pretty well-groomed. ]
[ he tilts his head when he sees kaveh approach, nodding to him ]
[ livio is absolutely beaten to shit. his clothes are clean (he's in a froggy t-shirt), he's got a black eye, broken nose, bruises and dried blood everywhere ]
[ in terms of emotional vibes, though, he seems... better than he has been ]
[ livio hasn't seem to noticed kaveh yet, but he's around ]
Well Kaveh was probably coming to find him after hangman anyway but his thoughts just turn into a panicked jumble of ???!?!?!??!?!!!?!? when he spots him]
Livio I know you probably don't want to see anyone right now That's okay Um, but I brought you some tea I can leave it outside You don't have to answer if you don't want to But if you need anything I'm here for you and Vash I'll be close by
[He is outside!! And he is coming to find Livio too, actually; as soon as he does he will just come give him a hug. Is this for Livio or for Kaveh? Unclear.]
😂 It's monday 👏✌️ the start ↗️ of a new ✅🚩 week 📅📅📅 mondays are 😩😓 HARD 😱👎 👏‼️send this to 👭 6 👬 HOMIES 👫 to make 🙏 them have a ✨ GOOD ✨ Monday. 🙅♂️ DON'T 🙅♀️ BREAK 🔗🔗 THE CHAIN 🔗🔗 or else you'll have a 💥 BAD 💥 monday. GO 🏃🏃🏃
[HELP NOT SHAKESPEARE. Kaveh actually has had no exposure to Shakespeare outside of Romeo + Juliet reference in trial... I think about how people were saying it meant Livio and Wolfwood... in tears
ANYWAY Kaveh probably has a starbucks in his hand; he comes to sit near him, looking curiously at the book.]
[Hilariously, he actually isn't drinking!! Or, well--he probably took a glass of wine with him from the party, but he's not getting shitfaced. He's out at the park, actually; the place is still all fucky, but he doesn't mind. Mehrak is sitting on the ground beside him, and Kaveh seems absorbed in what he's working on--from the art supplies scattered around him, it seems to be a painting of some kind. The vibes are... not the best. But Livio knows that Kaveh is just Vash-adjacent so that's probably not surprising.
He glances up at Livio's approach, distracted until he realizes who it is; then he smiles a little.]
weekend 0, saturday
I think it's funny if they're still in IKEA on a different day, so that's where they are as Kaveh rounds a corner and very nearly runs into Livio.]
Woah--ah, sorry, sorry.
no subject
Sorry! [ livio echoes, jumping like five feet back ] I didn't mean to run into you! [ he didn't ]
