[The video feed opens on an empty-ish room. While the room is empty, it does have an absolutely gorgeous view of the waters off Eltrut through the glorious bay windows.]

Isn't that lovely? It'll make a wonderful reading nook, I think.

[Kaveh will turn the camera back to himself, with a bright smile.] This place will need some work, but when I saw that view, I thought it'd be worth it. Obviously, we're still getting stuff put together, so it's not really good for guests yet, but once we have things ready and some chairs that don't wobble, it'd be nice to celebrate with a little get-together, what do you all think?

[...For reasons that shall remain Alhaitham, in the back of the shot, on one of the counters, is a...statue? of what might be an attempt at a fish? It will stare into your soul. Don't worry about it.]

There is a vast swath of middle ground between "I didn't fall that hard" and commenting on my weight, Haravatat, don't act like you aren't aware of it.

[Still, the ice is swiftly bagged and wrapped in a cloth and then gently pressed to the knot.]

Hold that there.

You weren't heavy; ergo, I didn't fall that hard.

[Sense, Kaveh. Learn it.

Still, even as he says that, Alhaitham makes no attempt to stop Kaveh from pressing that ice pack on him, even if he winces at first contact. He gets over it quickly enough though and does as asked, fingers brushing over Kaveh's own as he takes over holding the pack in place.]

Again, you could have cut out unnecessary commentary.

[Kaveh does flush faintly, but. It's more important to apply first aid then the stupid shit his heart is doing without his permission. So once Alhaitham has the icepack in place, he does finally (regrefully) stand up.

And turns.

To find he is making direct eye contact with the fish because Mehrak remembered how Alhaitham had set it.]

...Archons. You've corrupted my toolbox.

[Alhaitham glances up from where he is now sitting on the floor to see what Kaveh is talking about—and snorts the moment he sees exactly what has happened.]

Your toolbox clearly has the right idea. [Glances over to Mehrak here.] Good job, Mehrak.

[Mehrak makes a happy little beeping song! thank you, registered ally: [That Damned Alhaitham]!]

I am going to have to find flowers to try and offset this...thing.

It's not a 'thing', its a fish.

[Kaveh will soon know that the moment he tries to hide the fish Alhaitham will just bring it elsewhere to make it obvious again. Don't put down his contribution like this!!]

Have you ever actually seen a fish in your entire life?

[He's not hiding it he's trying to...counter it.]

[Hiding, countering, same difference.]

Fins, tail, gills are all present, so it meets all the necessary criteria for a fish. Surely you don't need an Amurta elective to teach you that much, senior.

It is shaped like a oblong balloon with eyes.

[JUST WHAT FUCKING FISH HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING?]

[THE SAME FISH AS YOU??]

With fins, gills and a tail.

[Ergo, it is fish.]

Why do you like your weird balloon fish so much.

[A pointed eyebrow arch.]

Am I not allowed to 'like' things now, senior?

[Despite what Kaveh assumes of him Alhaitham is very much a normal man with his own likes and dislikes. He's only human, after all.]

That is deliberately misconstruing my words. What's next, going to try to get them to fish Setekh Wenut slippers out of the rifts?

[Kaveh you just fucked up immeasurably.]

...

[Alhaitham doesn't say in response here, but that is because he is distracted by considering something now—something that brings up a particular gleam in his eyes which Kaveh only knows all too well.]

...Oh no. No. Alhaitham. Do not.

[Too late.]

'Do not'...?

[Alhaitham's expression may seem perfectly neutral and composed here, but there's that hint of a curl at the corner of his lip that tells a whole different story.]

Stop smiling like that, you menace. Do not start fishing all your weird wood carvings out of the rifts!

[Why did he bring you to this house with him. Why has he done this. Why does he like that stupid little smirk. Awful! Awful man!]

I certainly had no intention of doing any of those things, but thank you for encouraging the idea.

[:)]

Alhaitham!

[>:(]

My head hurts from the fall I'd taken earlier, senior. I'd like to be left alone now.

[Says this in the most bland and monotone voice one can feasibly manage.]

You said it wasn't that--urgh.

[Despite himself, he is trying to keep from yelling. It's his fault they fell.]

Just go--go take your nap.

[Honestly even if Kaveh wasn't going to let him go Alhaitham would have done it himself soon enough, but its nice to know that they're on the same page.

Alhaitham places the now half-melted ice pack on the floor and pushes himself to stand back up, swiping said ice pack again once he's on his feet, though he doesn't press it to his head this time. It's been there for long enough as it is.]

Wake me up when you have dinner ready.

[And that's all he'll say before he makes his way out, only pausing briefly near the doorway to place the used ice pack there for Kaveh to deal with before exiting entirely.]

Yeah, yeah, whatever, shoo.

[Kaveh makes a face at the used ice pack but, no use keeping up the argument.

What a ridiculous man.]
