[ Kaveh is at that stage in his drunkenness where Alhaitham's look and words paired together serve only to make him laugh, and he answers them by releasing his hold on the other's arm and resting his hand on the scribe's shoulder instead. Of course, he was joking, but something about the look on the other's face, the flat statement that this is not a lap danceβ
They've drunk together many times before, and every time through the haze of the alcohol he forgets all those things about Alhaitham that drive him to frustration when he's sober, focuses instead on those that make him crazy in all the right ways. Even drunk, he's never acted on it.
But tonight is different somehow. He can practically feel the tension from the other room bleeding through the walls. Whether it's jealousy or the urge to just forget what he heard, Kaveh's grin shifts to something a little darker as a look of contemplation crosses his features. ]
Then allow me to reword the question: Would it be a worthwhile replacement for a polite "please"?
