[ he is... certainly doing something!

he nods back, looking kind of happy to have been recognized as such even though the only other options are literally just reaper referee or shadow person. ]

Yeah! Simon. ...And, uh, that's Money. [ a gesture to the monkey in the party hat who's tagging along behind him. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[LMFSKDJHGK HELP I love you Simon. Kaveh looks a little confused at this monkey even though he lives in the rainforest. It's fine.]

It's nice to meet you two. I'm Kaveh. [A pause, and then he gestures to his toolbox.] And this is Mehrak, though it's not sentient, so you don't have to greet it or anything.

[Mehrak says "beep boop" and makes a sad face.]

[ tbf rainforest monkeys are probably typically hatless ]

Oh! It... it looks sad...?

[ ??? ]

...But, uh, it's nice to meet you too. I was... kind of listening when all the rest of you guys were talking to the blue one, so...

[ohthehumanities]

[Kaveh waves a hand, as if he was not the one who built this thing and gave the capacity to display emotions.]

It's fine. [Pls.] More importantly--how are you doing, after all of that? Did you... get answers to most of your questions?

[Even if they were. Bad answers.]

[unsweeten]

[ WHY WOULD YOU GIVE SOMETHING THE ABILITY TO BE SAD ]

Y-yeah, mostly. Most of them were kind of... not great to hear, though...

[ohthehumanities]

[Sometimes... you build yourself a companion that can't die on you...

But Kaveh nods, his expression serious and a little grim.]

Yes, I was hoping for different answers too. [God. He hates this situation.] ...Have you thought about a team?

[unsweeten]

Sort of... but I'm, uh, not really that great at talking to people, s-so this whole thing's really hard.

[ sigh ]

And even if I was, it's not like I have anything to offer. Plus I'm probably like... um... super easy to kill... so no one'd wanna be linked to that.

[ lowering his voice at that one part like it's a secret ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Kaveh frowns, straightening up.]

Don't think of it like that. You don't need to earn the right to try and survive. [Firmly.] You may be right that people will be more... [selfish--but no, that's mean] selective about what they're looking for, now that we have more information, but that doesn't mean there's no place for you. Here--let's figure out your skills and see if we can't think of ways you might be able to adapt them.

[unsweeten]

[ nods... ]

O-okay, thanks... um. I guess I'm kind of good at, like...

[


.... ]

Um, feeding animals...? Setting up stages... uh... driving...

[ohthehumanities]

[Kaveh nods encouragingly, a patient look on his face.]

Well, don't Count D and Eiden both have pets with them? I'm sure they'd appreciate an extra set of hands. As for setting up stages--do you mean for performances? That's a lot of hard work--it involves keeping track of materials and their placements, maybe even knowing how to repair or substitute things in a pinch. As for driving, [I'm making the executive decision that he understands this meaning even though there are no cars in genshin] those skills vary, I assume, but controlling any kind of vehicle takes concentration and spatial awareness.
