[ Vash, fortunately, does not have any money, but he'd donate it all to someone trying to scam him because likely they need money to get out of their bad situation, right? It's part altruism, then also part having scant worldly attachments. When he passes, he'll have only his clothes and gun to this name. Nothing more, nothing less.
Vash laughs a bit as they make their way. He understands that it's childish... But consider they had nothing to do. People hang at IKEA all the time. That's going to BE US SOON. ]
Never made or been in one? You're missing out! [ Present tense...? Like it's something adults can easily make? There's no shame in nurturing your inner child. He listens to Alhaitham and he doesn't consider it bragging. It's about tone and delivery, context and inference.
Though he really is like wow you love studying. ] If you're ever interested in expanding your education on a galactic level, you should visit No Man's Land. I think you'd get a kick out of studying Plants and how they communicate.
[ It's a genuine offer, tinged with teasing since "education" would imply Alhaitham is a bitty student, but to an old soul like Vash everyone is relatively young. It passes as he takes in the sights of the Akademiya, eyes rounding and sparkling. Even if he has seen spaceships and there's futuristic technology in Sumeru, it's dressed differently with its arches, curves, and colors, and that earns awe nevertheless.
Importantly, the last bit has him snap his head to Alhaitham, excited like a goldie (his hair is black but it's okay) tapping its paws in place though behaved enough to not bolt. ]
[ Vash's motivations for being charitable might be slightly different from Kaveh's, but that is still the most Kaveh thing to do ever. The same hat...
Fast forwarding to them at the Akademiya, but the idea of visiting No Man's Land does have Alhaitham's attention. He glances directly at Vash in the moment to confirm that the invitation is a serious one. (He doesn't take any offense to how Vash phrases it, but he does understand that it's teasing. Yeah he's a scholar! What about it!!!)
Vash is such a puppy. Alhaitham stops them by the entrance to the Akademiya and shakes his head. ]
I'm afraid Lessor Lord Kusanali has her hands full at the moment. Right now she's overseeing construction efforts in Aaru Village, a residential area in the desert. Kaveh and his travel companion will be meeting with them later in the day.
[ Genuine disappointment, but it's true he can just visit again whenever he remembers to... Which hopefully will be sooner than a year, but we'll see. He has an awful sense of time.
He felt the gaze on him on the way to the entrance, but it takes him a moment because he isn't a mind reader. As an answer, a bigger smile stretches across his lips with the cant of his head. ]
I don't have a place, but I can ask the colony for a room or two. It won't be spacey like your house, just so you know.
[ Assumes that Kaveh will want to come to supervise. Is that serious enough? May he push forward and open the gates for them? He'll let Alhaitham walk in first because he's a little scholar. ]
[ A little scholar.... How tall is Vash anyway. Also, Vash doesn't need to open the gates because they ease open automatically as they approach. Genshin!
Inside, Vash will see a vast foyer with a working fountain in the middle. Students and staff are scattered around, walking or conversing with peers. Those in student uniforms wear six different variations of the same cap, each with slight differences in embroidery or ornamentation. Some individuals are in different uniforms entirely.
Me telling you all of this because idk how far you got in Sumeru. Anyway, unless Vash stops him, Alhaitham walks them around the fountain towards the back of the hall, each strike of their heels echoing off the vaulted ceilings.
So Alhaitham's interest earlier was more obvious than he thought. Still, because he's a jerk: ]
One room is fine. [ Decides without Kaveh's input because he's gay. ] I won't need much space for only a visit. I expect Kaveh will be the same unless he decides to bring equipment with him.
[ He is probably shorter than Alhaitham, but 'little' in this aspect is 'little guy.' There's no way Alhaitham is going to hurt him, right? What. Is he going to give him a papercut by smacking him with a book? But also like... Teasing.
I basically finished the main Archon quest for Sumeru, right when Kaveh showed up for the very first time, then abandoned genshin while waiting for more quests. Doesn't mean I remember every location well, though. Vash is enjoying himself being a very obvious tourist visitor, looking at everything with awe scribed over his features. It tapers off when Alhaitham poses his gay stance in front of Vash and God. ]
You sure? The capsule rooms are pretty small.
[ Not the implication that Kaveh and Alhaitham are spoiled. ]
[ You say this while Alhaitham's abs and arms are just out there
And yeah he's gay! So is Vash!!! ]
Without seeing them firsthand, I can only defer to your judgment. If that's your opinion, it might be best to reserve two rooms. We can decide if we want to keep the other room when we get there.
[ The implication that they're spoiled goes whizzing by his head. The two of them have gone on expeditions to the desert before, so he figures this will be something like that. ]
