[This is how I realize none of the Sumeru playable characters are healers. That's what happens when you live in a country with free health care.]
Really? [He seems a little surprised to hear that.] Well, he's been on his own for a long time. And before that, he only had his grandmother. I assumed she taught him.
[Since she was probably old and needed help, though he doesn't know for sure. He's quiet for a moment, then huffs, his tone losing the softness it slipped into and going back to the vague annoyance he usually has when he talks about Alhaitham.]
Anyway, he prefers eating at home, lest anyone commit the grave crime of trying to strike up a conversation with him.
As long as you guys keep the experience of eating and eating with people! I was kind of worried someone here made some like... Unholy loaf that has all the nutrition you need for a day.
I'm sure someone's probably tried. But we're simply people, in the end, and cuisine is a matter of national pride. Besides, we have so many resources here--it would be a waste to just export them.
I told you he's unreasonable. [Said as though Alhaitham has committed a grave offense... because he HAS] I don't mind if you two don't, though. Our treat, of course.
[ That has him laugh because he doesn't think it's unreasonable. This is their world, so. ]
We're good to go wherever you guys want! We're kind of here on your coin and good will, so... [ waves a hand. ] Do tell us if there's anything we can do for you guys for paying for the meal, otherwise we can find some odd jobs around Sumeru.
Don't be ridiculous, you're guests. You don't need to work while you're here unless you want to.
[If not Kaveh, then Nahida certainly wouldn't stand for it, he thinks, given how far she's gone for the people who ended up in Sumeru more-or-less permanently.]
[Honestly, Kaveh so rarely gets to treat people and play host, it truly makes him happy to do it for people he cares so much about. Now he just has to get Livio to come and visit too, because this is a beautiful AU land where Livio is definitely also alive.]
I do! Though, you're not obligated to stick with us all the time, of course. I can get you some maps in case you want to go exploring.
[Not that he minds playing tour guide, he just doesn't want to encroach on their time if they want to go on a date or whatever.]

Overall, Vash is low maintenance and frugal... Less waste and cost is better. ]
I'm not very picky, so I can wait for Alhaitham to cook, even though I'm a little surprised he can.
[ He's surprised Kaveh can, but he isn't going to voice that. Just going to innocently eat his peach. ]

Vash catches it, but doesn't question. People have family, even anomalies like Alhaitham and himself, and they're people. ]
I think it's the idea that you guys have any time to cook with all your scholarly responsibilities and pursuits.
[ DESPITE WHOLESOME THOUGHTS, THIS IS DEFINITELY A DIG. ]

It would be convenient if we didn't have to. But eating out all the time is too expensive, unfortunately.

[ Even if they're weird shaped. Vash is having a second even though... ]
Alhaitham mentioned we're going to the tavern...?
[ Is that what Kaveh wants is basically what he's asking. Since now they're going to argue about making dinner and also tavern. ]
