[After all of That, Kaveh can be found... just around, really. He didn't go too far--not that there are that many places for him to go. He's nursing a McCafe latte and gazing at the shadowy figures around them with a look of deep thought on his face, maybe a touch of sadness--but it clears when he sees her, and he greets her with a smile that's more-or-less genuine, all things considered.]
Hey there. Did you get a chance to talk to those three?
[Hey wow hey wow this sucks!! Ylfa's one of the first people he goes to track down; sometimes you wake up confused and panicked and you forget texting is a thing.]
[Sweet Ylfa!! He is, fortunately, not too hard to find; probably on his way to find Buzen, because red string shenanigans. At least he's about halfway healed, which was definitely a strategic choice for Kyoko's energy consumption and not because some sadistic person wanted to play with injuries. Who would do that.
He looks relieved to see her, though!]
Ylfa--you're okay? Nothing happened to anyone on your team, did it?
[There are so few people Kaveh wants to talk to today--but his first thoughts are for Rin's team, so after he thinks they've had a little time to process the news, he will go about reaching out to them. He's got something small in his hands when he comes looking for her; he'll visit the warehouse first, but if she's not there, he'll look around until he can find her.]
[since it's a little while after the news, he can find her at the warehouse, yes. she'll come out, looking tired and a little drawn, and she keeps her distance a bit, hunched under her cloak.]
[kaveh can find her easily after trial. she'll probably be down near the warehouses or the canals, but she won't mind finding him, either. after all, he came to visit her last night and she wasn't particularly friendly. so she wants to see him now.]
[That works, since he'll definitely head to the canals after chasing down Buzen. He even manages a faint smile for her, though it is, of course, tinged with sadness.]
We did. I'm glad for that. [Even if team BDSM is full of butts and Hiding from us.] Are you doing alright?
[Help I think you have so many makeover threads already that I will spair you another one but we can also do that if you want!! Kaveh would be so happy to--in fact, he's in his new outfit with his hair pinned up in a bun and his nails painted already. Nothing makes you feel better after a weekend of death and drama than getting drunk, but a makeover is a good alternative.
For now, he's on his way out of the library, carrying a stack of books in his arms like a NERD--but he lifts one hand to wave and smiles. He stops kind of far away, like he's trying to shield her from getting hit with his Feelings.]
well, her feelings are pretty sad and angry herself, but she seems like she carries those feelings pretty easily, beneath the surface, not dwelling on them too much.]
[THIS IS TRULY THE WORST. Kaveh is also just a nuclear bomb of sorrow and guilt; he makes it out of the library for a while, but eventually he ends up back outside, sitting with paper, a brush, and two tubes of paint. The paper's completely blank, though, and he's not touching anything beside him, just staring off into the distance.
He straightens up when he sees her, though, coming back to himself.]
[im just going to make this easier, ylfa is standing in the middle of the city! she has her hood pulled very closely around her head and over her ears and hands, like she's hiding a little bit, but she's still looking around curiously.]
[Kaveh's spirits aren't quite recovered from yesterday, but he always wants to explore the new areas they get, so he's here! He honestly looked as surprised as Ylfa does, because wow, yeah. LORGE.]
[This is absolutely valid. Kaveh is definitely doing the same thing; he's got a notebook tucked under his arm and his eyes are probably still red (more red) from crying, but he stops when he runs into her.]
Hi, Ylfa. [He opens his other arm in offer for a hug, if she wants it.]
[It was kind of hard to miss her walking off--can't believe she's picking up bad habits from Wolfwood tch--but he saw her and Gerard run off to check on Haru, so he'll give them some time.
But eventually he will come visit; he'll send her a message so that she knows he's outside. He's got hot chocolate if she wants it; if she doesn't want to talk he'll just leave it for her.]
[WHY IS SHE SKIPPING. THIS FEELS OMINOUS. YLFA DID YOU MURDER AGAIN.]
A little. [He wasn't incredibly close to any of them, but he's never not going to be sad on a Friday.] I'm more... tired than anything, I'd say. [He and Nahida had both guessed there would be an escalation, but he really hadn't expected a BODY PILE LIKE THIS.] What about you?
[I'm setting this thread at the music store to make francy happy
But also because Kaveh actually looks pretty pleased about this! He's wandering over toward the stringed instruments right away, though he looks around at everything with interest.]
[cookie time! we can't bake cookies because ruby is mean but we can decorate our fingerbreads. and also we can always use the ovens at froggystyle warehouse.]
What do you want your fingerbread man to look like?
[Can you imagine if Froggystyle didn't win after all the murdering they did. Please. I die.
Anyway--Kaveh doesn't linger at the party for too long, but he's not too hard to find. Whenever Ylfa finds him, she'll see him engrossed in writing out pages of notes in his canonically beautiful handwriting. Thanks for that detail, genshin. He's got one hand on his head as he writes, focused, but then he glances up and catches sight of her.]
