[WHAT A DAY... THEY FOUND THEIR MANAGERS AND IT WASN'T WHAT KAVEH WANTED AT ALL. Terrible.
He's around, after all that--just drinking a coffee and gazing out at the shadowy figures, lost in thought. He straightens up a little when he sees her and nods in greeting, looking a little tired.]
[HEALINGS HAVE HAPPENED man good thing we have so many healers. Kaveh is like 50% healed because I'm mean to him, but at least he's an adult and like. In good enough condition to walk around.]
Alex--is everyone okay? Was it just the four of us? [looks at the clock]
[Well he was initially going to come apologize and talk to her about yesterday but that was before HIS TWO CURFEWMATES AND HIS ENEMY and D POSSIBLY MURDERED HIS SON so
We're tabling that for later
He will, however, eventually come find her; he's brought her some hot tea.]
Well first of all because there's a flair of panic and shame--it doesn't quite cover the onslaught of negativity she's going to be walloped with, though, because if she's close enough to kabedon, she's close enough to pick up on all of his exhaustion, sorrow, worry, and most of all, deep, lingering guilt.
But also he's
going to try and kabedon her back
which adds the vibe of WHY THIS WHY ME on top of it all]
[She is so valid. Kaveh is also exuding worried vibes, but so is, like, every other person here probably.]
Nahida, Shu, and I are staying together. We got separated last week. [Kaveh is paying attention to the time this week...] Nahida and I are probably dragging him to the library. What about you?
[Okay well at some point the nuclear explosion of fury and anguish that is Kaveh will probably burn itself out, which means at this point he's just. Sitting by the canals, staring into the water. Maybe he will JUMP OFF AND DROWN HIMSELF no just kidding he won't do that. The emotions are very hollow, though, and he won't acknowledge her unless she purposefully comes over or speaks to him--not because he's purposely ignoring her specifically, but because he's just. Lost in his thoughts.]
[WE REALLY HAVE A FOUR BODY WEEK. HELP. HELPPPPPPPP
Okay. Well. Tragically Kaveh is not dead yet but by some miracle neither is the rest of his team AND NEITHER IS HER TEAM, so they are... probably? Doing kind of okay in comparison to some people? God.
Kaveh nods at her, tired, when he spots her from where he's on his way back to his warehouse with a coffee.]
[THEY ARE HERE IN THE WEIRD MINES. Kaveh would probably be more cautious but it's confidence week.]
We don't do a lot of mining in Sumeru itself, actually. You'd want the people who work at the Chasm for that, though it only recently reopened, from what I understand.
[Kaveh isn't going to be seeking people out, but Alex can find him sitting outside his warehouse at some point. Shockingly, he is not drinking wine straight from the bottle; he doesn't have anything with him. He's just sitting here looking very tired and miserable.]
[SWEET ALEX... he's just chalking it up to lingering Setsu-related feelings, tbh. He's also not feeling that much better, though he's hiding it (and his hangover) with clothes and makeup.]
I always have architecture thoughts. [He is, at least, feeling well enough to say that. He's trying for some semblance of normalcy.] It's very different from Sumeru--we don't get snow, so we've never had to take it into account.
[The way Kaveh is such a sad and emotional person that even though it's happy endgame all of my PC starters are DEPRESSING
By which I mean, Alex can find him! Kaveh didn't stay long at the party, but he isn't in hiding. He's out in the park, working on a painting, if the art supplies around him are anything to go by. He looks up as he realizes she's near, though, and gives her a small, tired smile, so there's that.]

Did you get a chance to speak with them?
no subject
[ she's not gonna stress about talking to all of them just yet. ]
It... Feels like I didn't learn much, though. Just that most of the things I didn't want to think are true. Are, uh... true.

How'd your team do, yesterday?
no subject
We did fine. Nahida worked on a welcome poster, and Shu seemed to have fun wielding the hose. [And Jan was busy but Hikari was around sure]
I still wouldn't call these wholly livable, but at least they look a little less miserable.

Hey, are you hungry? [ because she doesn't entirely trust him to eat. ]
no subject
Well first of all because there's a flair of panic and shame--it doesn't quite cover the onslaught of negativity she's going to be walloped with, though, because if she's close enough to kabedon, she's close enough to pick up on all of his exhaustion, sorrow, worry, and most of all, deep, lingering guilt.
But also he's
going to try and kabedon her back
which adds the vibe of WHY THIS WHY ME on top of it all]
