Kaveh & Alhaitham
Invite you to share our joy
June 18th
Latrommi (Ignore the fact that it says Eltrut shhh)]

This is Alhaitham.

Kaveh and I are hosting a celebration as detailed above. RSVP with him if you wish to attend so that we can make the necessary arrangements. You may also do the same with me, but note that I have changed my shellphone ID to the one you currently see.

[...and yeah he's just gonna end it there. Eloquent as always, huh?]

[ She thinks about it for a moment. She's not obligated to, but it's courtesy to do so... but will she gain a Praise of High Morals from this? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

No. She can feel it. She won't get one from doing this. No gift then. ]

Okay. I don't think I know you guys well enough yet anyway.

[indispensable]

[Well, he can't say that she's wrong there.]

That's fine. [Alhaitham... also doesn't know a fair number of people who are coming super well anyway. At least nothing beyond a passing acquaintance and such.] Kaveh would be more firm about refusing gifts if he considers you a friend.

[misstellaron]

Huh. Then I guess I need to be friends with him. Freedom from gift-giving duties sounds like a nice perk.

[ She's joking, mostly. But people tend to give her gifts more than the other way around. ...maybe she should give them something back? Hoyo this is your excuse to add a friendship system into the game ]

So I just have to show up? What's the dress code? I'm supposed to wear something nice right? I've never attended a wedding before...

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham is terrible with gifts anyway so he can kind of relate to the want to be free from the concept of gift-giving. In fact the number of people who he'd want to give a gift to can probably be counted on one hand.]

Yes, your presence is all we ask for. There is no specific dress code either, since it would be hard to accommodate for everyone here.

[Technically they could attempt to give everyone a crash course on Sumeru culture but frankly its far more trouble than its worth, and Alhaitham has never been a stickler for tradition in the first place. So long as it works, he's fine with just about everything else.]

[misstellaron]

Okay. I'll be there.

[Alhaitham still has no idea how she is making these small pictures happen (they're not 'emoticons', apparently) but it does do a good job of expressing emotions...]

Let us know if you have any dietary requirements or things that need to be avoided.

[misstellaron]

I'm good. I can eat anything.

[ Truly... Don't look at what she eats Alhaitham, you won't be able to stomach it. ]

[indispensable]

[Given the fact that she hoards trash, he probably shouldn't be surprised...]

Any preferences, then?

[Besides trash.]

[misstellaron]

I'm not really picky. If it tastes good, it's good enough for me!

[indispensable]

If you say so.

[Be prepared for spice, strange trash girl. Lots of spice.]
