Mm, well, they've been cordoned off for generations. The wall is there for everyone's safety, but given the impact it and the Sages have had on perceptions of desert-dwellers... [He shakes his head.] Respecting what they've made for themselves is the least we can do.
[Sumeru truly is flourishing under Nahida's care. Kaveh is, at heart, a homebody; he's poured so much of himself into the structures that make Sumeru what it is, and it brings him true joy to see his nation taking a turn for the better. It makes it easier to believe he can do the same for himself (which is probably, at least to some extent, why Nahida's kept him so busy and involved).]
Yes, we've been experimenting with different formulas for sealants. You know, they actually developed a method of treating firewood with plant roots to allow it to burn longer, reducing the amount they'd need to collect and the time they need to spend tending to it--I've been working with some of my juniors at the Akademiya to see if we can't apply that technique to reduce sun damage. [RAMBLES HAPPILY, LIKE A NERD.] As for the pieces themselves, we've had good luck with Mountain Date wood, which is excellent news since it's common and affordable. It probably won't surprise you to learn that our first pieces are some bookshelves--I designed them to be stackable, with mechanisms in the back to keep them stable. That way, there's no need to anchor them to the wall in the event that someone wants to rearrange them.
[Of course it's for books. Listen. They're in Nerd Town, USTeyvat.]
I haven't considered a name yet, though. Do you have any ideas?
[ this will be a chill game for me or else. Vash listens without interrupting, seemingly engrossed even though he is unfamiliar with the materials, let alone the craft. He's more familiar with quantum physics and mechanical engineering, so the only part that translates is the build... But who wouldn't understand? The furniture is made with the convenience of the consumer in mind.
At the end of Kaveh's little passionate vent, Vash gives a whistle. An impressed one. ]
UV rays do affect resin and color... So if you could figure out something that combats that or stalls deterioration, that would be quite the find. [ He will have a sip of the alcohol that comes. ] Love the bookshelf idea! If I ever settle anywhere, I'll definitely come to you to buy some.
[ In spite of how they act and seem, Vash and Wolfwood do like to read. ]
... Uh... I guess it depends on your style? I'm guessing you want to go with something meaningful and refined?
Kaveh opens his mouth, halfway to asking if Vash and Wolfwood are planning to settle anytime soon, but then he remembers Wolfwood's grumbling; he doesn't think Vash would mind, but he changes gears anyway.]
You know, if you want, I could draft up a few designs. Nothing concrete, of course, just some ideas to hold onto, in case you do find somewhere you'd like to stay. [Kaveh Kavehson who designed the Traveler a house for his own birthday, out in full force at this tavern tonight. In truth, he's got some half-finished sketches from back during the game since he'd talked to Livio about an ideal home, but he has definitely forgotten about those because that notebook got tucked away in his box of mementos and has not been touched since his return.
As for the rest, he hums thoughtfully, helping himself to more of the Fatteh.]
Technically, every name is meaningful, [Vash's brother's name is Millions Knives but okay] but in this instance, I think I'd prefer something homey and welcoming over refined. Many desert-dwellers already view the Akademiya as elitist and exclusionary--I don't want to exacerbate those feelings by choosing some overly fancy name.
