    Summary


    “Wuh?” Childe says intelligently. He tries unsuccessfully to assemble a coherent question while the dark-haired man waits politely behind the counter. Eventually he stops, restarts, and then sputters out, “Your profession?”

    “Yes? You might find it morbid, but the contents of a person’s will may reveal much about their character and lifestyle. For instance, your previous collaborator—Javert, I believe his name was?—willed all his Fatui earnings to his partner alone. It appears he had not been transparent with his family about the real source of his income, and thus did not wish to impart those funds onto them after his passing.”

    “Wh—Zhongli, don’t you own the ice cream parlor?” he shrieks.

    Summary

    Tighnari watches Cyno swallow. The movement causes his laryngeal prominence to look like it’s retracting and then extending and at this moment Tighnari remembers from his introductory biology course that the thyroid cartilage is the largest of a total of nine cartilages in Cyno’s — or anyone’s — larynx.

    “You made this?” Cyno asks hoarsely. His eyes dart between the box in his hands and Tighnari as if he doesn’t know where to look.

    When Tighnari shows up to Puspa Café with bandaged fingers, Cyno is concerned. Tighnari shows him, with time, that he had nothing to worry about.

    (Tighnari makes Cyno's now-famous special Genius Invokation TCG deck box by hand as a gift.)

    Summary

    “Sir, kindly do not obstruct us,” says the matra sharply. “We are in the midst of carrying out an arrest.”

    “An arrest?” repeats Kaveh, incredulously. “You’re arresting him? You’re arresting him? Why, what in Teyvat has he done?”

     

    The Archon Rescue Operation is going as smoothly as it possibly can — that is, until Kaveh returns prematurely from his desert trip, and runs into Alhaitham at the absolute worst possible moment.

    Of course he would.

    Summary

    "I'm not going to arrest you for teaching our hopeless friend how to communicate with the love of his life, who hates him."

    Kaveh spluttered.
    "I'm not- he's not my- he doesn't-" He deflated, a little more than miserable. "Does he really hate me?"

    Summary

    The truth of the matter is, Kaveh has no idea how to read Alhaitham. He prides himself on being an expert at understanding people, his empathetic heart lending him the capacity to relate deeply with those around him (oftentimes to his detriment). But with Alhaitham, there is nothing for him to read; no clues from his cool expression for him to grasp. The man appears stoic all the time even during their petty bickering.

    Honestly, when was the last time Kaveh has seen the man do anything except smirk or frown? Does Alhaitham feel happiness? Has he ever seen the man laugh?

    Kaveh's mind is drawing a blank on the latter and it...bothers him deeply.

    --
    Kaveh devises a plan to get Alhaitham to smile by being aggressively nice to the man (and also maybe if he makes Alhaitham happy, he can score a discount on his rent or something). Alhaitham thinks Kaveh ate some mind-altering mushrooms and is, understandably, confused and mildly afraid.
