Vash will be fine, don't worry. [ if vash knows how to do anything, it's to scrape out of dangerous situations. plus, he has wolfwood now!! and livio. ]
[ but oh no, mom and dad are fighting...... he's pretty used to these shenanigans with vash and wolfwood, so he kind of holds his hands up awkwardly ]
H-He doesn't have to smile if he doesn't want ta! I don't want him ta feel uncomfortable...
[ livio desperately trying to keep the peace when kaveh is just giving alhaitham shit, business as usual. he does perk up a bit at the mention of seeing nahida. never in his life he thought he'd just be out here sightseeing, but it's... exciting, in a way ]
Oh, yeah! I'd love ta see her..... and the Akedemiya... and all yer work.
[Normally Kaveh would behave himself more in front of company, but yeah, Livio is used to Vashwood. Also, he wants Alhaitham to make a good impression! Be nice to sweet Livio who has never done anything wrong in his life!!!]
They were two different statements, Haravatat. And yes, he does have to show basic manners. [Jabs Alhaitham's arm with his finger!! And then takes a piece of fruit and passes it over to him, immediately contradictory.] I won't have my friends thinking you're incapable of understanding social customs, even if you're content to let the rest of the world believe you're an antisocial mad genius.
[The way that Alhaitham is known as a lunatic at the Akademiya and Kaveh got nicknamed "urchin of Kshahrewar" as a student, hilarious. They're both the worst.
He smiles at Livio, though, brightening up himself.]
Of course! I can take you to Razan Gardens while we're there. I was thinking we could go up north first, to see the Palace, and maybe a little bit of Mawtiyima Forest, if you're feeling up to it--then we can take the river down to Port Ormos. How does that sound? They're not too far away, so you'll still have plenty of time to see the city, too.
[Kaveh just wants to show off all his work... but he'll change plans if Livio wants to!!]
I-I think his manners are good...! [ livio protests weakly, but. clearly, if he wants alhaitham to respect him, he needs to act worthy of respect by being polite!! so he straightens up a little bit where he's sitting. as if this will somehow make him look more presentable. he doesn't really interject, otherwise, but livio's not one to put stock into what people say. they say a lot of things. ]
[ but kaveh getting excited about showing his work off is making livio smile, too. kaveh is always so passionate ]
Yer the expert, Kaveh, so I'll follow yer lead. I want ta see all of it.

I don't see how forcing a smile equates to having respect for someone.

[ Livio was fine with it anyway!! ]
That's quite the schedule for someone whose environment is entirely different from what they're used to.
