[There's a lengthy pause again as Alhaitham glances at Kaveh ever so slightly now, to stare at his senior's face to see the sincerity of those words with his own eyes.
...he can see, indeed, that Kaveh does very much mean what he says here, which is again something that Alhaitam is going to need some time to wrap his head around. While he won't deny there'd been something of a shift between them ever since the events surrounding the Interdarshan Competition, there'd been a sort of equilibrium that had existed there, one that he was content with letting it stay. But ever since they'd come here things just keep happening that shakes that balance each time, and not for the first time Alhaitham isn't entirely sure what to make sense of it all, or on what will happen when the time comes where that balance is finally fully upset. Will it be for the better, or will history repeat itself? He isn't sure if he wants to know the answer, this time.
...still, those are things he can dwell on later. But for now, with this particular situation—]
This is your place, so you are free to do as you see fit. [He says as he turns back to face forward, arms dropping back down. And though the tension that'd been unconsciously building up on his shoulders has faded away, he hasn't brought his gaze back to properly look at Kaveh, instead still sort of glancing aside.] If a party is what you want to do, then I have no right or reason to stop you.
