Does anyone know what's the quickest way to treat nausea? I haven't been feeling well lately.

...I know. It's not very comfortable to be fretted over.

[Kaveh smiles a bit, but he'll crouch down so he can get a picture of the wound on his shellphone.]

But...I worry because I know how awful it is to be sick and injured alone. I don't want you to have to do that, even if I know you probably could.

[scooba]

[And then there was a long pause. It was clear that Freminet wanted to say something but he was hesitating.]

Ms. Kaveh, I'm sorry for asking but did...did my brother tell you to look out for me?

[After all, it felt weird knowing that there was someone out there who was acting very much like a caretaker right now. Outside of his own siblings, he just couldn't quite understand why someone would go out of their way to help him.]

[empyrean_mirror]

He did. But I'd do this even if he hadn't.

[He straightens up, with a bit of a wince as his spine pops. He is too young for his bones to make those noises! (It is the fact he has the posture of a large shrimp.)]

...I know it's probably weird. You're not the first person who's thought so. But I'd like the world to be kinder than it is...and the easiest way to do that is be kind myself, you see?

[scooba]

[It was easier said than done. He wanted to be kind to others for the sake of having them see miracles in life. Although, when it comes to others being kind? He wasn't so sure.]

....Even if it means others taking advantage of you? I know I said it before, but I really don't understand how you can live by that.

[Even for someone like himself.]

[empyrean_mirror]

I can't say it hasn't happened before. And I've been told that I can't save everyone. But...

[Kaveh shrugs a little.] I'm sure that when I'm tired and at my worst, there will be someone who helps me, too.

[scooba]

[It was then that he gave a long pause looking down at the wound. He really didn't know how to respond and gave a sigh instead.]

....I just hope that day does happen. You're much too kind but I can see why Lyney told me to trust you.

[empyrean_mirror]

...I don't know if I'm really that kind. But if I want the world to be a kinder and beautiful place, then I have to put the work in myself, yeah?

[He does smile a little.]

I'll come back from the doctor soon. The thermos is just chicken broth--if you can stand it, it will help get some nutrients in you.

[scooba]

Then probably you'll be able to find your miracle someday. I highly doubt such kindness won't be repaid somehow.

[There was so much Freminet wanted to say but he couldn't. He wanted to tell him the horrors he had seen and done for the sake of trying to make a world a better place. Or at least, in the minds of those who worked with the Fatui anyway.

Instead, he'll give a nod before attempting to look at the thermos.]

...Just be careful. You already done enough and I'll be sure to pay off my debt to you.

[empyrean_mirror]

It did before. That doesn't mean my work is ever over.

[He pauses on his way out the door, and then smiles.]

The only thing you have to do to pay me back is be kind to people, even when it's scary.

[scooba]

[Was that really all he had to do? Again, it seems easier said than done but...]

...Just saying that alone already makes you much nicer than most people I met back home.

[He could allow himself to just say that, right?]

Thank you again, Mr. Kaveh.
