How dare you

[localweirdo]

Why thank you! I'm glad to see that I was able to help you overcome your worries!

[Pause]

However, that is still no excuse to not have fun with me.

[indigently]

[ Ugh... Why does he feel like he's not getting out of this one. ]

Could we possibly have fun in some other way, now that my worries are eased?

[localweirdo]

Then tell me, what would you want to do for fun?

[Nope, still not getting out of this.]

[indigently]

For fun? I usually sketch, or read books. Sometimes I go drinking with my friends.

[localweirdo]

Then how about you impress me? Sketch me something that you enjoy.

[Yes, right here. Right now.]

[indigently]

I've got a better idea.

I enjoy sketching. So... ask me for something, and I'll draw it for you. We'll call it... thanks, for trying to help me out today.

[localweirdo]

Hm...

[Indeed, this was giving Hu Tao a lot of power on what he should draw. Should she go for something easier or shall she go for something more difficult? Decisions, decisions, decisions.........]

Then how about this? Can you sketch what is the most amazing thing to see in Sumeru?

[indigently]

[ Oh, no.

That's a dangerous question, because the most amazing thing there is to see in Sumeru... ]

Ah, I've already drawn that!! I can show you, if you want, or I can draw something else.

[localweirdo]

How about you show me? And then you can draw whatever you want that you think might impress me?

[Although, be warned as Hu Tao is a very very picky person (no she is not)!]

[indigently]

...Okay, give me a moment.

[ It takes him a few minutes, but he sends through a picture of his sketchbook, open of course to a sketch of the Palace of Alcazarzaray. ]

[localweirdo]

[As Hu Tao gets a closer look, all she could do was narrow her eyes and give a small hum or two.]

It certainly looks impressive and I can tell it a place that one would go to should they want some scenery.

[...] Any reason why you chose this?

[indigently]

[ Well, now he's a little embarrassed. ]

Ah, yeah. I designed this building, actually. It's the house of one of our richest citizens... Now it's a famous landmark in the Sumeru region.

[localweirdo]

Then no wonder you wanted to show me! It looks amazing and it is something to be proud of!

[She said with a chuckle or two.]

Although, will it impress me should I ever go there in person....?

[indigently]

[ Kaveh's smile, now, is bright and genuine and excited. ]

It will, I can guarantee it. And if you need someone to go with you and point out its unique features, I would of course be more than happy to clear my schedule...!

[localweirdo]

You don't need to do that! I wouldn't want to take up your already busy schedule!

[Because that wouldn't seem right!]

[indigently]

[ He's quick to shake his head. ]

I'm positive I can find time. You don't need to worry about my schedule at all!

[localweirdo]

If you are certain.

[Dramatic pause....!!]

Then very well, I shall come in at once!

[indigently]

[ Kaveh blinks. ]

At... at once?!

[ Okay, so he said he'd have time but he thought he'd... have time to organize that time... ]

[localweirdo]

Yes, at once! You said that you are going to be ready for me at any time, no?

[She said with a giggle or two.]

I might as well start now!

[indigently]

W-Well, yes, but...

I admit I didn't think it would be right away. I do need some time to organize my schedule and my clients...

[localweirdo]

How about tomorrow? Would that be better?

[indigently]

...Sure. I think I can make tomorrow work.

[localweirdo]

Wonderful! Then I shall get packing! Anything I should bring as a housewarming gift?

[indigently]

Ah! No, nothing— I'm not moving anywhere! And we probably won't stop by [ Alhaitham's place ] the place where I live anyway.

[localweirdo]

...The place you live, you say?

[Hmmmmmmmmm.....]
