Warnings: just a very, very poorly written book! Possible mild spoilers for genshin impact up to patch 4.8 in comments, but nothing huge.

[Oh, it's Kaveh, waving at the camera. He looks...slightly damp? And Shadowlily appears to have burrowed into his shirt and is still grumbling at him LOUDLY the entire video.]

So I don't suppose anyone would be interested in a one-of-a-kind, annotated copy of a novel from another world, would they?

[Please. Please dear god take it from him.]

Mmn... I think you know the rest.

[Spice, senior. All the spice.

And really, even as he says that it does occur to him that this is something that isn't as obvious between them yet back in Sumeru. They'd gotten closer, sure, and there is already that tacit and implicit understanding that they already hold for each other—yet on some level all of that pales in comparison to what they have managed to establish here towards each other.

There is perhaps something to be said about how they managed this in months where even a year back home didn't seem to accomplish, but he is also aware that the circumstances here are vastly different. Still, he's not worried—things may not proceed as quickly back in Sumeru, but it was clear that they were on their way. It was always going to be just a matter of time—being here simply expedited the process.]

You're lucky we weren't gone long enough for the dried harra fruits to go bad, you know.

[Which is strange. 10 months here, returned to the moment he left, and then a year there, to return only half a day later.]

[indispensable]

[There's a hum of agreement here, even if there's a part of him that's definitely going to try and puzzle this out down the line. The fact that they did go back and then return here, only to see that the length of time is so different compared to before... it truly makes no sense at all.]

We would have much more to be concerned about if the length of time that has passed here truly was the same as we had back in Sumeru.

Like this poor cat...

[Shadowlily makes an aggrieved 'mrrow' of agreement before cuddling herself closer to her favorite father. After all, it's already happened to her once...]

Ugh. If I think about it right now I'll get a headache.

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham takes the cuddling without batting an eyelash, at the very least. But he does remember now that all these cats did have owners before the rifts sent them back...

It probably would be nice if they actually could get some kind of control over this. Not that he thinks its possible at this juncture, but perhaps in time... something to keep in mind, at the very least.

But for now he'll just snort lightly and then reach up to give Kaveh's nose a brief pinch.]

No need to stress yourself out. We just got back, after all.

[They'll get to it when they get to it.]
