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?]

[Not planning on having children. That...



Hold on Alhaitham, you've just thrown his cultural-based assumptions on marriage and families into question.


He understood not being able to have blood children - though for immortals that was less of a worry. If one could not carry the child for some reason, a lotus flower or some other vessel was a perfectly acceptable place to store the seed until it was grown enough to be born. But not planning on it at all after marriage?

Wait... could that have been why Orchid was upset with the actions of his future self? Because he supposedly told people they were married and expecting a child? Did she not want children?]

This venerable one... appreciates this new insight into mortal marriages.

[...man, this guy really is like one of the adepti in Liyue, at least based on what he's read and heard from others. It's almost a shame that there's no way to really prove that...]

You're welcome.

[Goes to show that even the long lived have things to learn. Which, given his own experiences with such beings, isn't too much of a surprise. But its still nice to know nonetheless.]
