[ Help... Kaveh... It's fine. ]

Right, right! [ Vash looks forward, enjoying the ride. ] Livio's sharp, so if he falls for a scam, I'm sure it's because he wants to help them.

[ohthehumanities]

[Nothing is fine when you're mentally ill]

Heh, you're much nicer about it than Alhaitham would be. If he were here, he'd say something like, "Some people will succeed and some people will fail, that's just a fact of life. Stop being such a goodie-two-shoes and wasting your money trying to fix the world one person at a time."

[No one asked about this, Kaveh]

[piteous]

Woah, that's harsh! And sounds weirdly familiar?!

[ NO ONE ASKED BUT VASH SYMPATHIZES ]

[ohthehumanities]

[vash :handshake: kaveh]

Let me guess--Wolfwood?

[piteous]

[ :ARTHuRFIST: ]

How did you know?!

[ohthehumanities]

[HELP this reaction makes him laugh a little]

We've talked about it a few times. He's mentioned more than once that he thinks you and I have similar views.

[piteous]

... We seem to attract realists, huh?

[ BIRDS OF A FEATHER. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[He snorts.]

I think it's the unfortunate fate of people like us. We always manage to find them, and they can never resist pointing out how wrong they think we are. [Okay Kaveh.] Wolfwood's much kinder about it than Alhaitham is, though. You're lucky.

[He maybe did not see Wolfwood and Vash at Mcdonald's weekend 0,]

[piteous]

[ KAVEH. NO... Vash finally turns to him and gives him a lOOK? ]

Wolfwood's nicer? I don't know how you survived if Alhaitham is worse.

[ohthehumanities]

[HELP

He just looks a little confused]

Well, yes. I mean, our philosophies differ to some degree, but it was nice to discuss it with him. [Kaveh's a nerd who likes debate regardless, but also. Hilarious.] Why, how is he with you?

[piteous]

He has beaten me with his cross.

[ bro ]

[ohthehumanities]

--What? Really?!

[piteous]

Yeah?! Sure, I can handle it and sometimes he misses, but he has!

[ ALHAITHAM IS SOMEHOW BETTER, IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[HELPPPP]

That's so strange. I wouldn't have thought that of him at all. [Like yeah Kaveh talks all the time about how he's the only one who knows Alhaitham's true, big personality, but they'd never physically fight unless they were sparring??? WOLFWOOD HOW COULD YOU BE THIS WAY TO SWEET VASH.

...Okay in all fairness, though, Kaveh's more likely to hit Alhaitham than the other way around... wait... is he the problem...]

Well, do you at least hit him back?

[piteous]

Wolfwood can play nice when he wants to. Part of his job as a sleazy priest.

[ BADMOUTHS HIM WHILE HE ISN'T HERE, but he thinks Kaveh can get the vibe that they're just very good pals. He wouldn't seriously insults Wolfwood.

This is just their relationship. ]

Of course I do!

[ohthehumanities]

[This is truly such an odd experience... is this what it's like to live Tighnari's life...]

Okay, good. [Because otherwise he was going to offer to do it which is hilarious considering Vash is taller than him. But, also--] Not that I'm all that familiar with either, but your priests sound very different from the ones in Teyvat...

[piteous]

[ Grumble grumble... But cutely. Honestly, watching Kaveh punch Wolfwood would be funny. ]

What are they like in Teyvat?

[ohthehumanities]

[He will do it if you ask him to, especially because he thinks Wolfwood would probably let him get away with it even though he has no proof of this.]

Devoted to their archons, from what I understand. They have a church in Mondstadt, for instance, and I've heard the deaconess is very sweet--very devoted to Barbatos. There's an island in Inazuma that has a priestess, as well, but I think she's in charge of just about everything over there. It's been a long time since I've visited, and I was only there to study the architecture, so I couldn't really tell you too many details about their customs.

[piteous]

[ Vash would never condone violence... Weirdly. ]

... I don't think that's too different for people in No Man's Land, but obviously we don't get to interact or know God. It's more of a blind faith kind of thing. Very hands off.

[ He looks back out to the sighs, musing. ]

Still, in the hundred and fifty years of living in an inhabitable planet without succor, people still pray for deliverance.

[ohthehumanities]

[Kaveh nods, listening quietly.]

He told me about it, a little. [When they had their very civil nonviolent conversation.] It sounds closest to how things are in Mondstadt, but even then, there's definitive proof that he led them once. And then you have nations like Inazuma, which are led directly by their Archon--or Sumeru, even though it's a little different.

[Nahida was locked up for so long...]

But even then, it's not like every prayer is answered. Most of them aren't. [His never have been, after all.] So I understand a little, even though it's not quite the same.

[piteous]

[ Vash nods... He finds it interesting since there aren't a lot of religions in No Man's Land. ]

... It's about hope, right?

[ Believing in a god you don't know exists, or don't know if they're listening to you, sending them prayer anyway. ]

[ohthehumanities]

Something like that. [He turns his gaze outward, toward the water.] To be honest, I stopped praying a long time ago. So I'm probably not the best person to ask.

[piteous]

... Is that kind of awkward?

[ Because Nahida is like right there. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[He shakes his head.]

I don't think so. It wasn't anything personal against her. Some things are just... impossible.

[piteous]

Like what?

[ ... ]

You don't need to tell me if you don't want to. I get that it's kind of personal.
