Chapter Text
In the end, Alhaitham couldn't just let it be.
He was occupied with paperwork, but it was simple and something solvable. No worries on his part, he even had time to read a book! It was paradise. After such a long day of working, he would be soon at home, silent home. No noises, no one to bother him. It was pretty much a perfect life, in the next morning he was even going to meet some friends. Some meant that the noisy Kaveh who won recently a prize for the designing of the Palace of Alcazarzaray. Something that many praised, but the Scribe didn't care even a single bit. He saw that it looked good, but still had some impracticalities that the place had. Alhaitham loved the idea to see him again, Kaveh was really occupied. Mocking him and teasing him was an entertainment that many couldn't see.
Nahida came by, seeing the tall man with a smile, “Ah, Alhaitham. Here you are, it seems you can go home early. The paperwork for today is done, and perhaps you want to see Kaveh to bring him your support”. The Archon declared that with simplicity, but the man was confused. Not understanding why Kaveh needed support. For the new prize? Perhaps that Palace of his had a problem and got him into troubles? Maybe they found out he was given that prize wrongly, and now he is crying on his shower saying “but I did that magnificent Palace! How can't they understand a true masterpiece!?” Who knew. The gray-and-green haired man was just happy to have an early leave. He got up and decided to browse on the way to gather the information before meeting Kaveh and the others. The train was relaxing, the noise-canceling headphones were the true masterpiece. He looked at his smartphone to notice the chat group he had with the others.
Nilou was writing. Tighnari and Cyno already wrote. No sign from Kaveh. He usually writes non-stop when someone is chatting. With the exceptions of busy days and deadlines coming soon. Those days were a bliss, no Kaveh spamming. No Kaveh writing on private, more idiotic ideas. He read all the messages he missed since the coffee break.

TCG Champion—(Cyno): @Kaveh, is this all a lie?
— …
— Kaveh?
— How odd. You typically answer as soon as you are mentioned.
What does the fox say? — (Tighnari): What happened? I was on patrol
— Wait
— CYNO WHAT IS THIS NICKNAME?!?!?!?!? >:(
TCG Champion—(Cyno): Collei dared me to do it. She said that if the next joke I said was a bad joke, I would change all your nicknames and lock them for a week.
What does the fox say? — (Tighnari): Ok, now. Tell me what happened with Kaveh
TCG Champion—(Cyno): Apparently, he used all his money on an NGO to help them meet a goal. But said NGO was a scam. He lost a lot of money, and he doesn't even have a mora for a lawyer.
What does the fox say? — (Tighnari): Is this one of your jokes?
TCG Champion—(Cyno): No. What part of it was a joke?
DDR Queen—(Nilou): W8!!! You mean that Kaveh is broke?!?!?!
— Aaaa Cyno!?!?! And this nickname!?!?!
— @Cyno @Cyno @Cyno
TCG Champion—(Cyno): I said it before, Nilou. But yes, I was looking for him because I found a note of eviction meant for him. And I was informed by a comrade that he got kicked out of his house. So @Kaveh, please elaborate what happened.
Alhaitham read it. His face was serious. For a split second he was going to say something in the group that was going to be a bit offensive to Kaveh, “I told him that he should check before giving all his money to charity. That's why he is always making wrong decisions”. But he bit his lip. That was too much even for him. He just went home, he lived close to Kaveh's, so he could visit him later and tell that to his face. Or check on him. He walked from the station to his place, to see some hair he recognized on the park . Golden and blonde with some red clips. All a mess, more than usual. There were some bags and cardboards with items. But sitting on the bench, looking at the fountain. That park was one of his creations. He designed that along with some classmates on the Akademiya. Alhaitham was going to head away, but the phone kept ringing with notifications of the group.
TCG Champion—(Cyno): @Alhaitham @Alhaitham @Alhaitham
— Please don't ignore us after reading.
— We know you read us!!! >:CCC
— Can you go check on Kaveh's house? Is he still there?
Feeble Scholar Gym Rat—(Alhaitham): I was on the train and needed to stop to my station.
- I am looking at Kaveh now
- He is in the park of the neighborhood
DDR Queen—(Nilou): AAAND?
Feeble Scholar Gym Rat—(Alhaitham): What?
What does the fox say? — (Tighnari): Go see him, and see if he has a place to stay. Today will be a cold night, I don't want to have him come asking for help like always when he gets sick.
Feeble Scholar Gym Rat—(Alhaitham): He has a place to stay
DDR Queen—(Nilou): What?
What does the fox say? — (Tighnari): What?
TCG Champion—(Cyno): Whay?
Feeble Scholar Gym Rat—(Alhaitham): I've a free room at my place. Ok. Good. See ya, I'm going to mute you all now.

As soon as he wrote that. He stepped in the Architect's direction. With his head up and taking out the noise-canceling headphones.
“Hey”
