That's because you can't even take a single Jueyun Chili without needing five glasses of milk to accompany you right after.
[Yeah Kaveh your spice level is horrible. Sometimes Alhaitham still can't believe you are actually from Sumeru? People eat spice all the time??
Not that he has ever doubted that, really. Kaveh has always been the pinnacle of what a scholar can be, and then so much more than that. He has never let tradition and rules hold him back, even at the height of Azar's reign, his determination to shine even through the toughest of times never once faltering. Even as a student he'd strived to bring the arts in Sumeru onto a new and unprecedented level, and in the end the Palace of Alcazarzaray had become the jewel that the City of Wisdom now holds as near and dear to their heart.
The fact that they would claim it so, after everything that Kaveh has sacrificed for it, has never truly sat well with him. So, maybe in some ways the both of them being here is a good thing, for as like what Kaveh has said earlier—here, Kaveh does not have to be weighed down by the weight of his title and perceived prestige. He is free to do anything that he wants, and though there are still many days where he is frustrated at being unable to create the things that he is inclined towards he finds many other ways to occupy himself. And of course its not at all perfect, but...
The freedom to do whatever he wishes, the lack of pressure to pay back his debts or any rent at all, the knowledge that he isn't alone now, because Alhaitham is with him here... this might be nowhere close to a possibility that neither of them had ever thought about, but now that the chance is here—what harm is there, is grasping it? Maybe something might be forged anew from this opportunity.
...its why, with that thought in mind, Alhaitham does relent—just a little.]
...still, considering how neither of us are aware of the actual dietary preference of whoever you plan to invite, it'll make more sense to split up the dishes.
they're so normal about each other
