[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.]

Okay, factually all true but you don't have to say it like that?

[G'RAHA PLEASE.]

He will get his later.

You are the one that more or less said it like that, you realize.

All I did was offer you a means to get that which is an eyesore out of sight.

He takes great offense to attempts to do so. By removing it, I risk him bringing home something worse.

[Burying his face in his hands.]

It sounds like the two of you are truly close.

Even if his attempts to convey something seem to be a bit juvenile.

Convey...what? He just finds the damn thing cute, what do you mean, convey?

[Oh no, Raha.

They're stupid.]

Ah well...

If you haven't quite figured it out then it would be in poor taste to explain.

My most sincere apologies to Alhaitham.

...So you're going to flirt on my post instead?

[He can literally see you two down there.]

You mean to tell me that is not what you and your roommate were doing?

Even we were, which we were not, it's my own post, isn't it?

'Tis also quite public, I fear!

So you should probably not be speaking about having your lover at your mercy, then.

[JUST SAYIN', BROSEPH.]

[ YEAH OKAY. FINALLY KAVEH IS GONNA GET ONE UP ON G'RAHA HERE. Like full on pink in the face as ears perking before folding back.

But unlike someone else, there's no screeching. ]

I-I didn't mean it in any other way than teasing him as I have you thus far.

[He'll get you eventually, G'raha. Right now, he just snorts.]

Of course you didn't. I'm sure you see the irony in being careless with your words right now?

I don't consider it to be all that careless. While, yes, I am a little embarrassed by it I don't think there is any reason to conceal anything either.

Perhaps when you have a couple more years on your person, you will begin to see what I mean.

...You cannot be that much older than I am.

[He narrows his eyes.]

And if you were, you'd certainly understand that things are often more complicated than they first appear.

[ There's no answer to that unspoken question. Only a smile. ]

Complications can be, at times, mere excuses.

[Kaveh winces, though, something like real hurt crossing his expression before he papers a dagger-sharp smile over it. That one...hit below the belt, G'raha.]

Ah, have you become a mind-reader now, to know which one it is?

[ He wondered if it might, though that hadn't been his intention. ]

I am only a man that knows a thing or two about "complications."

[ But he'll leave the conversation here and, perhaps... Take it elsewhere. ]

[He'll at least be more willing to talk about it not in public and three feet from the complication himself.]

...My condolences.
