[ what vash may not know is that alhaitham has been holding kaveh by the wrist, keeping him suspended above a void that threatens to swallow him whole. one day, kaveh may grasp at his arm and climb to solid ground. for now, racked with years of guilt and self-loathing, kaveh only seems to see the blackness beneath him.
or maybe vash does know. that might be why they're having this conversation in the first place.
anyway. this is why he thinks you're granola, vash. if alhaitham is bothered by vash yelling loudly, he doesn't make any indication of it. ]
I'll start by saying that you shouldn't meddle in others' long-standing affairs regardless of your connection to them. You risk muddying the waters and causing further misunderstandings.
[ he's being a dick about it, but this really has nothing to do with vash! and alhaitham will do anything to keep from causing more trouble for himself if something goes haywire. what's friendship ]
Still, you did ask the question, which is more than Kaveh himself would have done. The answer is no. I don't hate him.
[ Vash does think that Alhaitham cares about Kaveh and he's helping in his own methodical way, incredulous and efficient. It's hard to explain letting Kaveh stay, still keeping him company, and all of the small little gestures.
Imagine, friendship. This is friendship. ]
Heeeeyyy, this is pretty light! Just some perspective and insight, so I can pat his back better.
[ With an added wink because Alhaitham conceded and told him. This is can be friendship, too. ]
[ friendship with kaveh. sure. if vash wants to dig into that, they'll have to do it another time, when they're not about to get something to eat.
vash winks and alhaitham looks away. he's not rejecting vash's goodwill—more like he doubts that much will change because of it. he's open to being surprised. ]
If that's all, we should get going.
[ alhaitham reaches into his belt pouch and pulls out his keys—one silver, one gold with a small lion keychain. ]
I found his key earlier this evening and held onto it for safe-keeping. He'll keep looking if we don't stop him.
[ HELLO? Vash's eyebrows shoot up, hidden behind his fringe. Kaveh must be losing his mind thinking he lost his keys?? Actually, he finds this funny and laughs. ]

And I'd like to believe he has relied on me a little bit here and there back in the Underground! That's something!
[ Kaveh might be able to hear him, but it doesn't seem like he minds. ]
