    Summary

    Kaveh raises his hands, palms up. "I have nothing to give, Al-Haitham," he says, and the other's eyes grow fierce.

    "You do not have nothing, Kaveh," Al-Haitham says roughly. "You may have buried yourself in your self-doubt, but you are relentless. You shine even when the moon takes governance of the sky."

    Kaveh gapes at Al-Haitham. "So what I'm hearing," he says slowly, "is that you will not kick me out for the time being."

    "What you're hearing is that I will wait for you," says Al-Haitham.

     

    After all this time, Kaveh has yet to unpack his bags.

    Summary

    He envisions Kaveh’s ruddy, handsome face and nearly shivers. His honey tone is well accentuated by his recent time in the desert, cheeks often sun-stained red. His expressions misleadingly impish, a hidden compassion beneath them. He wonders if he’s one of the only ones who sees it. Beyond a title of “Light of Kshahrewar,” do most hold this perspective?

    or; Where Alhaitham is all too familiar with the word love, and the fact that if he meets his lovers eyes his own expand dramatically. The red of his eyes envelop the green, and represent his rose-tinted perspective. No matter how he feels, though, his love hates him regardless.

    Summary

    Kaveh rushes to pick himself up from the floor, bracing himself on the bedside table when his knees start wobbling. “Cyno! Good, you’re here, uh—“ He winces and rubs the back of his head. “Okay, wait…why are you– whatever, that doesn’t matter. So this means that we didn’t get kidnapped last night. Great, that’s…one question answered, at least.”

    Cyno looks between him and Tighnari, raising an eyebrow. “Anything else you want to comment on?”

    “I’m almost afraid to ask.” Kaveh laughs, strained and panicked.

    “I’m not.” Tighnari says groggily from the bed. “Can you please tell us what happened?”

    “You two got married last night.”

    Summary

    She doesn’t call out to him– simply approaches him. He doesn’t look up from his book, and she doesn’t address him either. She climbs up onto the bench next to him, and sits quietly, her back straight, her hands clasped in her lap.

    Silence passes for a few moments, before he sighs, and quietly closes the book.

    “Is there something I might do for you, Lord Kusanali?” He asks,

    Summary

    Dear Kaveh,

    With the changes occurring all over Sumeru recently, I believe it is time to also make some changes within. On behalf of the Akademiya, I would like to formally commission you to be the main architect for the Akademiya’s next major renovation project. This would include creating new offices and adding a new wing dedicated to the arts. Your direct supervisor for this project will be Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham.

    Sincerely,
    Nahida

    Alhaitham scanned the letter over Kaveh's shoulder quickly, interested to see how he would react. Kaveh’s initial smile only seemed to grow as he read on, but then it quickly dropped. “Wait. Wait. What. What.”
    -
    Or: Kaveh has his most frustrating client yet -- his roommate Alhaitham.

    Summary

    Kaveh comes home with a random baby.
    Actually, no. Not a random baby. The god of wisdom and Lord of dendro, Buer.

    He has no idea. Alhaitham does.

    After talking to the matra, Kaveh wants to keep her.

    Alhaitham has no idea what to do.

    Summary

    Feeling suddenly brave, Alhaitham goes on, “What if I say ya noor eayni? After all, you are the Light of Ksheherwar.”
    Kaveh doesn’t respond, too stunned to speak. He does intertwine his fingers with Alhaitham’s.

    Summary

    “Speaking of cute,” Kaveh continues, “the client- you know, the one who gave me Parry? She’s totally my type.” Kaveh sighs wistfully. “It’s a shame we met through work. Otherwise, I would’ve taken her out to dinner sometime.”

    With what mora? Alhaitham thinks, the witty remark on the tip of his tongue. However, the curious side of Alhaitham takes over his vocal functions.

    “Your type is… cute?”

    Kaveh blinks at his unusual question but recovers quickly. “Yeah, pretty much. But that’s basically everybody’s type.”

    Alhaitham’s type, he surmises, is tall, blond, red-eyed architects, so he’s not sure where Kaveh is getting his evidence from.

    Alhaitham learns that Kaveh’s type is “cute.” He loses his mind a little.

    Summary

    Anis had assumed that students avoided Scribe Alhaitham due to his indifferent nature and intimidating presence.

    As she stepped foot into the alcove, she realized that his demeanor was not the only thing keeping people away.

    Anis doesn’t understand why Scribe Alhaitham flaunts his alpha pheromones for everyone to smell. Just why can’t the scribe wear scent blockers like everyone else?

    …except he does wear scent blockers. And maybe, just maybe, that scent might not be his.

    Summary

    “Oh, that’s right I remember, six years ago, I got you to admit that you liked somebody. Do you… like someone now?” Kaveh asked cautiously.

    “Yeah,” Alhaitham answered nonchalantly.

    “Who?”

    “The same one as last time.”

    “You still like them? After six years?” Kaveh’s eyes widened in shock.

    “I’ve only ever loved one person, and I’ve only ever wanted to be with one person,” Alhaitham shrugged, beginning to walk away but Kaveh grabbed his wrist, holding him in place.

    “But, six years? For that long, do they not know you exist or something?”

    “They know.”

    “Have you tried courting them at all?”

    “Sorta. It didn’t work out.”

    “Then…do they just not like you back?” Kaveh asked.

    “I’ve only ever wanted them. If they don’t want me then, I’ll accept it but I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving them.”

    “That’s… the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life,” Kaveh confessed.

    Summary

    There's a rumor in Sumeru City - that Lesser Lord Kusanali is not the true Archon, but instead is the stand in for another.

    There's a story passed around the desert tribes - that the true Archon of Sumeru is The Scarlet King's son, and that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata betrayed him and stole his gnosis.

    The truth is far more simple: when Greater Lord Rukkhadevata passed, Celestia passed the honor of being the Dendro Archon onto The Scarlet King's son; and similarly to his father before him, he passed the gnosis onto Lesser Lord Kusanali so that he could pursue his own interests in peace.

    “The art of tarot can be difficult to process, I know,” Al-Haitham says, nodding. “You just have to accept it.”

    “STOP SAYING THAT,” Kaveh says.

    Al-Haitham picks a random card from his pile of cards and flips it over to reveal a Genius Invokation HP food card of tandoori roast chicken. “This is going to be your dinner.”

    “WHY DO YOU KNOW MY DOORDASH ORDER,” Kaveh yells, typing furiously into his phone and brandishing the app in Al-Haitham’s face. “I PLACED THE ORDER RIGHT BEFORE I WALKED THROUGH YOUR DOOR.”

    Al-Haitham is a tarot card reader. Kaveh is skeptical.

    Summary

    Kaveh stares at the neatly packed bento box laying before Al-Haitham, housing neatly sliced vegetables and glistening, fresh rice.

    “Who made you that?” Kaveh asks, not bothering to hide the vengeance in his voice. “Your work husband?”

    Al-Haitham lets the fork go slack in his hands and just stares at him. “Kaveh,” he says, in the sort of tone someone might say dude.

    “Don’t dude me,” Kaveh says, aghast.

    Kaveh is interested in discovering who Al-Haitham's elusive work husband is. Al-Haitham is only interested in Kaveh.
