[ He likes to be self-sufficient and this isn't his first time in this region so we'll say yes. He beat up Eremites or just found coins in Investigate spots, you know how it is. Odd requests and bounties are kind of fun when they're in a new world too. ]
Your city is one hell of a maze. Don't get too excited, I have a few but it isn't like I'm rolling around in double dollars let alone mora.
Not often. Quality coffee beans are one of the few items Kaveh will allow himself to spend more on.
[ When Alhaitham doesn't buy them for the house himself, anyway. Kaveh might like cheap wine, but this is a house of coffee snobs (though more Alhaitham than Kaveh).
Also, whether or not Wolfwood means it, he highlights the disparity between Alhaitham and the other three of them—the cheap stuff in your big house. There's nothing wrong with doing so, given that Alhaitham's wealth is an indisputable fact. It just makes Alhaitham curious enough to ask some questions he otherwise wouldn't. ]
Where exactly do you and Vash reside in No Man's Land?
Great, I'll keep in mind for any souvenirs next time.
[ Wow... Kaveh spending money for once. Wolfwood is pretty sure that guy will survive on strictly alcohol if he gets sad enough but coffee is probably a decent substitute.
Wolfwood is unbothered by such questions. He didn't make the comment to be mean but more just a neutral comment on how Alhaitham seems to have expensive tastes. ]
We don't. Neither of us have a house because we moved around a lot for reasons. Though I guess for Vash, the ship of people that took care of him is probably the closest thing.
[ Internally he's a little bit like wow read the room Alhaitham I didn't list them for a reason. He thinks Alhaitham is fine enough that he doesn't mind talking a little bit anyway though. ]
Wanderers. Vash is because he ended up getting a huge bounty on his head for having bad luck and poking his nose in wherever he went and everyone thought he was some kind of big shot guy. I lived in an orphanage and then I moved out.
[ When it comes to things Alhaitham wants to know about, the room hardly matters most of the time, even if he can read it. Sorry Wolfwood. ]
Kaveh also invites misfortune into his life by poking his nose in where it doesn't belong, but never to the extent that he earned a price on his head. How did someone like Vash manage that?
Lawless land, buddy. When someone wants someone dead, the easiest thing to do in a world where we're all fighting to survive is to put a bounty on their head. Keep evading that bounty and beating up your pursuers and they start racking up the price on your head to get better, or at least more reckless headhunters. Rinse and repeat.
I don't know. I don't really police what they talk about. It's not a secret or anything but we didn't exactly talk about bounties and how much we're worth over in the "game".
[ Because he thinks Kaveh should know about this unless there's a good reason why he shouldn't. He can't imagine what that would be, but it's worth talking to Vash about in general. Alhaitham has his reasons. ]
Kaveh did mention that there are children among you. Is that true?
[ THAT WORRYWART they've survived long enough without stuff, they'll survive. But it is a nice gesture. He may refuse things for himself often but he appreciates the help for the kids. ]
[ When will Dreamwidth stop 403-ing me challenge. ]
I wouldn't say bothered.
[ He really does just bully the hell out of Kaveh like oh you're such a fuckin' weenie but he can't say no to people wanting to give his kids some nice things. Or Wolfwood nice things. Hey he won't say no to free food or something that lets him save on cash. ]

Mora is relatively easy to come by, though as a result, it's just as easy to spend.
[ Thank you Zhongli for not simply minting more and ruining the economy. ]
The average bag of coffee beans will cost one hundred mora.
Specialty coffee beans can be anywhere between that and about six thousand mora.

No point in getting rich if you're never going to spend it, right?
[ Wolfwood lives like that. Can you blame him. He keeps just enough to make sure he can pay for the next few days and sends the rest home. ]
6000% markup? Yikes. You don't even carry the cheap stuff in your big house do you?

This bounty hasn't been lifted then.

No.

Thank you for answering my questions.
Does Kaveh know about this?
no subject

no subject
Makes it sound like we travel with kids with us.
I got some kids I'm looking out for. Orphanage.
They're with the people that looked after Vash right now.
no subject
So that's why Kaveh insists that the two of you take as much as you can when you leave Sumeru.

Does it bother you that Kaveh sends you off with gifts?

I wouldn't say bothered.

Oh? What would you say then?
