[Fair tbh. I'm so sad that genshin confirmed Sumeru people know what their Archon looks like because it would've been hilarious if Kaveh thought she was just some girl.
He looks a little worried, though.]
I hope she doesn't think it's patronizing. It's not as though I don't know she's perfectly capable--I just want to do what I can.
[Aww. He's glad to hear it.] Well, no, not really. But we didn't exactly know--that is, I didn't exactly know her personally before this. I'm an architect, not a Sage.
Also I can't believe Alex is encouraging him NOOO]
Ugh--that guy has the worst personality. Even when he was a child, he couldn't carry on a conversation to save his life! And to think, I was concerned about him when I saw him sitting by himself. Little did I know, he's the one who refused to talk to anyone else in his class because he thought they weren't worth his time. [CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT GUY THAT YOU DON'T KNOW, ALEX]

Me either. So—just. Yeah. It was just something I'd been thinking about. I guess.
no subject
It's good to focus on the things that give you hope. Sometimes that's all you have to rely on to keep yourself moving forward.
no subject
Yeah, exactly. It's a small relief, but I'll take it.
So how 'bout you? Learn anything especially good?
no subject
Anyway, wryly--]
I've learned I'm going to need to design a jail cell for Rang Lee. [This is a joke probably]
no subject
... That's not a bad idea.
no subject
...I'm trying not to get too far ahead of myself, though. I want to make sure Nahida and I get our team sorted out first.
[Nahida handcuffed him immediately which is good because otherwise this sentence would not include "and I"]
no subject
I'm glad you're looking out for her, though. [ alex, reading nahida's age on the profiles and just refusing to process that information fully. ]
no subject

I hope she doesn't think it's patronizing. It's not as though I don't know she's perfectly capable--I just want to do what I can.
no subject
And it's not weird to want to protect someone. Even if you think they're capable on their own.

[Why is he asking like she would know better than him]
no subject
[ she really doesn't know how to articulate this ]
... I just think people can tell.
no subject
Well... I'll just trust that she'll tell me if she's unhappy with it.
[Surely they can't BOTH be "I'm fine don't worry about me" types, right]
no subject
[ sure! ]

Most of us didn't know each other personally before this. It matters more if you're just open to talking and not mean or whtever.
no subject
Yes, I suppose that's true. On the whole, most people here seem easy to talk to. Unlike some people I know. [Alhaitham.]
no subject
Alhaitham?
[ she remembers kaveh mentioned him before. ]

[ that's her takeaway. ]
no subject
No, we're-- [...] ...We used to be. But it's like I said--sometimes people are just too different.
no subject
Uh, so do you still see a lot of him or something? Or is it just that this is a recent thing?
no subject
W-why would you think that?
no subject
Because you're... super preoccupied with it...?
