Hardly. [ The accusation is met with a roll of Kaveh's eyes, a fold of his arms over his chest as if he's offended, although it's a pose that isn't held for long, instead turning into a shrug as he continues. ] Just because you don't make a habit of it doesn't mean it's not worth considering. I would also argue that while euphemistic, its interpretation is universally understood, leaving little room for subjectivity. I still think it is far from a good fit, but something to keep in mind nonetheless.

[ The issue of ambiguity is, in fact, why he's started off with Alhaitham's own suggestions. Many of the other terms that he might use for this kind of thing— sleep with, get laid, get down/dirty, screw, bang— are most definitely euphemisms, and therefore don't suit the scribe's lofty preferences.

He should probably tell him that instead of just letting the jab about original thoughts pass by, but he's too busy focusing on the dry, uninteresting way Alhaitham says "fucking", a twitch at the corners of his mouth as he tries not to laugh. It's right in this exact moment in fact that he decides that this has to be the word of choice— now he just has to convince his roommate of that fact. ]

Hmm? Situationally appropriate, you say? Would you care to elaborate?

[ Oh, please elaborate. ]
