    Summary

    It started with the machines. Then the people, then his own mind. Thoughts that weren't his own, memories he never experienced. Alhaitham could have lived with all of this, could have learned to cope.

    Then it started to affect Kaveh.

    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.

    Summary

    Kaveh does not like strangers seeing him vulnerable, but he relaxes in the company of those that he trusts. But Alhaitham does not know which category he falls under. At Bimarstan, the question was irrelevant because Kaveh wouldn't be alone either way. Here, it's different. Kaveh will be alone unless Alhaitham goes to sit with him.

    It would be nice to sit with him. Reassuring. And it would be easier to make sure that he has everything he needs.

    But what he needs most is rest. And he won't rest well if he is uncomfortable.

    Kaveh falls ill. Alhaitham works through some things.
