[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.]
Did you get a chance to speak with them?

One of them, for now, but they should be around from here on so...
[ 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.

[What a mood. His expression shifts to something sympathetic, and he nods.]
Yes, it seems they are. [Ugh. He looks down at his coffee.] ...For all that I'm used to weathering painful or unpleasant situations, this is... really something else altogether.

[He tilts his head slightly, looking at her.]
Such as?

Well they—it's a real glass-half-full situation so just come with me on this.
But they said people who are erased go back to whatever afterlife is in their world. Erased made it sound like they were gonna... I don't know. Get cosmically deleted or something. So that's good to know. I guess.
And they said we're not ghosts, technically. [ why is that a good thing. ]

[He seems a little skeptical, but he listens, at least--nodding along as she talks.]
So... for instance, people who are "Erased" here may go back and become ghosts in their own worlds?

Oh--I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you.
[Kaveh nods slowly--he still looks a little concerned and apologetic, but he doesn't argue.]
...I'm not really an expert in the afterlife either way. But I understand your point.

[Kaveh gives her a small, encouraging smile.]
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.

[Sweet Alex. Meanwhile Kaveh is here like "Hope is built on suffering and sometimes you just need to endure hardship there's no other way"
Anyway, wryly--]
I've learned I'm going to need to design a jail cell for Rang Lee. [This is a joke probably]

[Kaveh has slept!! And he's in a new fit, wow. Fashion.
He smiles at her in greeting and waves a little when he sees her.]
Have you got your team sorted out yet?

[We love a fashion staple. Kaveh nods, looking relieved.]
Good, I'm glad to hear it. With who? If you don't mind my curiosity.

[HELP don't encourage him. It does make him smile, though, even if it's wry.]
...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"]

[SERIOUSLY:] Be careful about putting in. Make sure it's someone who knows what they're doing.
[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.
