TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

[The pillow bounces off his head. Cutely. Just as senior would love it.]

It doesn't seem like I need to, at this point.

[empyrean_mirror]

You'd have been just as obvious as me anyway!

[THE BIGGEST HMMMMPH.]

[indispensable]

I'm not the one who constantly wears their heart on their sleeve.

[Kaveh you know Alhaitham has some trump cards he can pull out if he really wants... Except they both know that he never will.]

[empyrean_mirror]

You don't even wear sleeves.

[Kaveh makes a disgusted snort.] That's not the point. You don't interact with people enough to lie any better than I do!

[indispensable]

Most people would consider that an advantage.

[Kaveh probably doesn't realize this but being hard to figure out is kind of a boon, actually.]

[empyrean_mirror]

[Kaveh doesn't find Alhaitham particularly hard to read so he finds it baffling this is true? We are going to conveniently ignore the years spent in the miscommunication era.]

Whether or not it's an advantage doesn't have anything to do with your level of skill?

[indispensable]

[Sure Kaveh can ignore it but it doesn't change the fact that majority of their relationship (so far) has been in the miscommunication era.]

I disagree.

[For example, Kaveh makes a very good case of being very not confusing. In a manner of speaking.]

[empyrean_mirror]

Of course you disagree, it's to your benefit.

[Kaveh pinches the bridge of his nose.]

[indispensable]

[A small, bemused huff.]

Are you only embarrassed now? I thought you'd be happier that so many people have come to know your character.

[Especially since that's not really something Kaveh does have back in Sumeru. Even though things are a lot better now since the days of Azar, they still continue to be a long way off from what Kaveh probably views as an ideal.]

[empyrean_mirror]

Being so instantly known isn't exactly the point of the game, is it?

[He's not really a competitive person but it still stings a bit to lose this instantly, okay???]

[indispensable]

[Alhaitham snorts but he's reaching over to grab his husband and tug him closer now, smoothing his hands down his sides after.]

Then would a consolation prize make you feel better?

[empyrean_mirror]

...Don't I have to go get you your dinner?

[Which is to say yes, and he knows exactly what Alhaitham is offering, but he still wants to sulk a little bit.]

[indispensable]

Half an hour won't make a difference.

[Here's one hand already slipping underneath Kaveh's shirt oop—]
