[Hello Val!! Kaveh is here in his new fit, studying Puppy Play from the outside. He greets her with a nod, though he edges away if she gets too close, like he's trying to spare her from experiencing his Emotions.]
What do you think about the new area?

[ flatly: ] Your shirt's unbuttoned.
Anyway, finally, we get something decent around here. A nice salon, a place with some actually cute clothes, a mall? Makes me wonder what the catch is.
[ thank you for the meme too ftr, this is very good, chef kiss ]

I know, it's on purpose.
[He's truly been so covered up for two weeks this is his default state.
He smiles a little, though.]
I admit, I enjoy it quite a bit myself. The library, especially. [He's a nerd...] I suppose we shouldn't let our guards down for a couple of days, though.
[HE'S THINKING... OF LAST WEDNESDAY...]

[ she raises an eyebrow at that. if he's on the edge of emotionshare, then he might get just the faintest feeling of judginess. ]
Oh, never let your guard down. But this is like, the closest to home any of these places have been so far. Except for the McDonald's, maybe, but that's just depressing. [ puckers her face a lil ]

[That's okay. Her judginess rolls right off because he's a decade older than her and also gay, which, as we all know, gives him an inherent advantage in the world of fashion.]
I take it that's not the pinnacle of cuisine, where you're from? [This is not a serious question]

Eh. It's fine, it just loses its appeal when you have to be around it for hours every single day.
Ugh, don't I know it. Is it too much to ask for something a little more familiar? Tahchin? Butter chicken? Samosas? I would pay a lot of money for a good stew, actually.
[Yeah!! See!! She gets it!!!]
I wonder if we could use some of the kitchens around here...? I'm not sure where we'd get ingredients, though.

We'd either have to hunt down the local wildlife ourselves, or try to like...extract ingredients out of the McDonald's food. Neither of those sound like great options.

A pause, as he suddenly remembers, with mild alarm--]
Didn't Ylfa mention eating a squirrel... [YLFAAAAA]

I think so, right? During the trial, she asked if we were all sick from eating squirrels, like her...?

[ i must've missed that comment ]
That's...
Well...I guess she is technically a wolf...kind of. Do wolves eat squirrels?
[ val is now giving off vibes of nausea ]

I'm not sure... we don't have wolves in Sumeru...

Don't bring that up again! [Why is he so easily bullied]
[Honestly--you wouldn't think Kaveh's much for the gym. For all that he's been openly confident in his skills, he's only ever shown his strength to a very small number of people. Exercise isn't really what he turns to in order to clear his mind.
Today, though, it feels like a good day for it. The vibes are still... deeply sad and regretful, but they're blanketed with resignation and exhaustion. It will feel good to not think for a little while.
He shows up to the gym with a fancy green sword, though he stops and approaches Valerie when he sees her.]
Valerie?

[ she is running on a treadmill! quite fast, actually. like, really fast. like, sustained sprinting pace. When she spots Kaveh, she lowers the speed to a more casual jog. ]
Hey.
...I haven't seen you here yet.

[There she go
But he sets the sword down, shrugging out of his Ikea coat as he surveys the interior.]
I've only been once or twice. It just... felt like the right thing to do, today.
[The right way to honor Buzen.]

...I didn't know you had a sword. Or could use one.
[Kaveh grunts, making a bit of a face.]
This one's not mine. I got it last week, after the four of us came back. [CYOA rewards do be out here.] Normally I use the one Nahida got, but it's a lot of strain on my wrists when I can't use Mehrak and my Vision to help wield it.

[Swords AND trauma, a 2 for 1 special]
Shorter and lighter. Normally I use a claymore.
