    Summary

    “I am so sorry.” He starts, bringing his free hand to his forehead as he stares down at the tiles on the ground between him and the stranger he’d almost carelessly knocked over. “I don’t know what’s come over me, and—”

    He freezes. Those boots… Look strangely familiar. He slowly tilts his head up, pulling his hand away from his face and finally taking a good look at the person across from him.

    As if this day couldn’t get any worse.

    “It’s alright,” says the acting Grand Sage, Alhaitham, who Kaveh has not spoken to in probably four or five years.

     

    Shit.

    Kaveh is about a week from homelessness, and desperate for money.

    Haitham has an abundance of it, and a project he wants Kaveh to oversee as his live-in architect.

    Perhaps the both of them can get something out of this arrangement besides an exchange of goods and services, and restore trust in a bond badly broken years ago.

    Summary

    When the door opened, albeit having expected to see Alhaitham staring down at him, he still felt a part of him tug him away from the place. But, he stood there, swallowing his pride as the rain poured mercilessly over him.

    Alhaitham didn’t say anything. He merely looked up at the rain and then back at Kaveh.

    “I didn’t know where else to go,” Kaveh said.

    Summary

    “—What I’m trying to say is.” Lumine began. “Maybe you should try to show your affections by being nice to him, in a more obvious way.”

    Alhaitham considers it.

    “I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to try. For research purposes anyway.”

    //

    Alhaitham starts being nice to Kaveh. Chaos ensues.
