    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Summary

    “Hmph.” Kaveh steps closer. "So why choose to listen to my voice even when I’m complaining about you?”

    Alhaitham shuts his eyes. “Just because.”

    “Being a little vague there, Scribe Alhaitham.”

    “I just…” Alhaitham sighs. “I just really like your voice.”

    Or, Kaveh learns sign language because he fears that Alhaitham is growing tired of his voice. He doesn't understand that Alhaitham actually... loves it.

    Summary

    Alhatham’s been shitty. This shouldn’t be and really isn’t a surprise, but it’d be nice if Kaveh had some sort of measure or meter to warn him before the man pulls out some new shitty tactic to make Kaveh feel bad about himself, because at least then it’d be–not bearable , but he’d at least be prepared for it.

     

    And it’s not some big and shocking revelation that Alhaitham’s words cut Kaveh deep, all the way to the bone and further past that. It’s just that Kaveh has been under the impression that Alhaitham had a semblance of knowledge on when to stop, or at least when to apologize, in his own pretentious way. He knew which topics upset Kaveh, which ones to avoid and not poke at him about.

     

    Or: Five times Alhaitham says something he probably shouldn't have. Scratch that, he definitely shouldn't have, along with the five times he apologizes.
