This is Alhaitham.

I have a survey for people to respond to. Those who have filled up my previous survey from last year may consider this as a follow up of sorts to it—those who have not are free to respond to this one all the same. Regardless, there are similarly no restrictions or stipulations to the nature of the responder; the only thing that I request is for honesty when filling this in.

1) Are you currently in any sort of romantic relationship? (Arrangements made purely for physical reasons do not count.)
2) Does an institution of marriage exist in the world that you come from? Does it play any sort of significant cultural role? Feel free to describe as much or as little as you want.
3) Do you consider the idea of marriage important? What is the primary endgoal in any romantic relationship that you pursue?
4) What do you envision as your ideal future with a partner?
5) What does the concept of 'home' mean to you?

You are free to leave your answers in this post or direct them to my inbox. I will follow up on whatever answers that I feel are necessary.

Thank you for your time.

I'm not as confident as Lyney.

[indispensable]

You don't have to be.

[If anything Alhaitham would appreciate for you to not imitate your annoying brother.]

[scooba]

I know but I think it would help.

[indispensable]

There are other ways to get the same result you seek.

[He's not disagreeing, but you know.]

[scooba]

Such as...?

[indispensable]

Being truthful and genuine.

Most people usually would take that over confidence.

[scooba]

...That's true.

I suppose I am fairly someone who is truthful and honest about a lot of things.

[indispensable]

[Yeah, and that's why he's leagues ahead of Lyney in terms of likability.]

That also tends to be more well-received than an abundance of confidence.

[scooba]

...Is that so?

People and relationships are very strange indeed.

[indispensable]

Yet in the end those are the very things that define people as they are. To lose any of those would be the same as losing the parts of you that make you human.

[scooba]

Just how my family is who I am.

....I'm not sure what I would do without them.

[indispensable]

[Unsurprisingly Alhaitham has a lot of opinions he can give about this, but considering that this is a public forum and he doesn't necessarily want to 'expose' the Fatui, per se, he will... attempt to be tactful.]

That's for you to decide in the end. All I will say is that no family will ever bind their own.

[scooba]

…

Even if they gave me everything I could have wanted?

[indispensable]

Even then.

[To be fair, Alhaitham doesn't exactly have much experience with family too—but what he does know is that he will never do anything that will stop Kaveh from being his best self, even if that means making choices he hopes he'll never have to make. But if such a possibility ever comes... he will do what is best.]

[scooba]

...

Sorry, I think I just made things worse again.

[indispensable]

What makes you say that?

[Don't just assume things when nothing is said at all!!]

[scooba]

Because I think I made it that way?

[indispensable]

And the thing that makes you believe that is...?

[He's going to need you to cite some sources here Freminet.]

[scooba]

I´m not sure. I think I am thinking too much about this.
