Summary
“Kaveh,” he said, his voice low and velvety smooth, each syllable dipped in the kind of exasperated affection that only came out when he’d had just enough alcohol to soften his usual bluntness, “if you’re going to lecture me, at least do it with some coherence. You’re starting to sound like one of those second-rate poets in the Grand Bazaar.”
The remark earned a scandalized gasp from Kaveh, who slammed his glass down on the table with a force that made Alhaitham’s eyebrows twitch upward. “How dare you?!” Kaveh exclaimed, though his indignation was undermined by the hiccup that followed. “I am nothing like those hacks! My critiques are—are…” He faltered, waving his hand vaguely as he tried to summon the right word. “…eloquent! That’s the one. Eloquent and biting, unlike your personality, which is about as sharp as a wet loaf of bread.”
