Summary
“I’m sorry,” he says, though he doesn’t feel very sorry. “I think we started this conversation poorly. I don’t get much free time, and I usually spend it under this tree.”
“I fail to see how this is my problem.”
Kaveh grits his teeth.
“I would really appreciate it if you would find a different tree to read under.”
The stranger looks up. There’s a sharpness in his gaze that almost makes Kaveh want to fidget. This man is clearly mortal. Kaveh can sense the soul in him, surprisingly soft when contrasted with the razor’s blade of his eyes.
“What’s your name?” the stranger asks. Kaveh, surprised by the question, responds without thinking.
“Kaveh.”
“Well, Kaveh,” he says, “I suggest you find a new tree.”
Kaveh, an immortal god, meets Alhaitham, a perfectly average scholar, and takes it personally.
