[Aww, Vash. Kaveh's gaze turns sympathetic--he reaches out to rest a gentle hand on Vash's arm.]
I agree. I've been very fortunate. [Which is proof enough, for him, that there really will always be people who will support each other, no matter what.] I'm hardly selfless, but I don't think you have to be to know that mutual assistance is the purpose of society.
[He smiles, then, wry.]
Someone has to balance out people like him and Alhaitham. But from the way he spoke, I don't think his views are as removed from ours as they might seem.
[Damb they really are the same person. I can't believe Vash is Kaveh's sibling from his mom's second marriage.
Kaveh huffs, though.]
That man's too smart for his own good. All those brains, and what does he use them for? The pursuit of truth and knowledge, with no application to the people around him. He's got no respect for anybody, not even his seniors.
[HIS PROFILE SAYS 150 unless you mean him respecting Kaveh which I don't know about but he shouldn't]
I know! It's ridiculous. You know, one time I found out that he and a mutual friend of ours had run into some trouble--and when I asked him if he was okay, you know what he said? [Mimicking Alhaitham's DUMB VOICE] "I'm doing quite well. much better than that painting you're trying to hang on the wall." As if he knows anything about aesthetics in the first place!
Huh? He literally picks on you like a toddler picking on their crush. It seems obvious to me. [ LISTEN ] I've lived a hundred and fifty years! I've seen kids do this and then confess later. This has happened multiple times across different generations.
...
Except Alhaitham is an adult, I'm assuming. Some people take longer to mature, emotionally.
[Forcibly wrenches this PC to a Tuesday PC I guess help I FORGOT MY DAYS
Anyway Kaveh just
shakes his head like this is the most absurd thing he's ever heard in his life]
You don't know him like I do. Trust me, he's barely even human--he doesn't care about anything but his books. In another decade he's going to evolve into some new species and cast aside the need for societal interaction completely.
[ HDOWJDKFKV THIS GAME HAS BEEN MAKING PEOPLE FUDGE TIMELINES INSANITY
Mmmmmm. ]
Kinda weird to me that a bookworm who allegedly only cares about books makes extra time for you in any way, but all right. I guess you two are very good friends.

[ It is depressing times on this canoe-adjacent vehicle. ]
It seems like gods have their limits, but there are a lot of kind people who can help us get back on our feet.
[ Vash truly believes the universe is full of them, welcoming the hurt and the lost with warmth and comfort. ]
I can see why Wolfwood said we have similar views.

I wonder if he'd say his gift to society is handling you.

Kaveh also looks offended for like 5 seconds before he realizes that Vash is probably referencing something Wolfwood said to him.]
Hmph. He certainly has no problem harassing me on the message boards around Sumeru. The message boards! Who picks a fight like that?!
no subject
Woah, talk about petty? At least Wolfwood would just spit in my face.
