Kaveh. You are the most brilliant architect in Teyvat. Everything that you design is beautiful. I trust your judgement.
[ Alhaitham's quiet reassurance is all he needs. In a lot of ways, it's all he's ever needed, even during those times in the past when he would reject it with such anger. He reaches, his hand coming to rest over the other's for just a moment, and then nods. ]
You're right. I'll think of something. I don't have to get it perfect right now.
[ But at the same time, being the person he is, he wants something... ]
Maybe, in the meantime, we can just wear plain bands?
[They still have their moments. Kaveh is hot-blooded and still comes looking for an argument at times, and Alhaitham is generally content to oblige him his noisy way of letting off steam when he's anxious.]
That sounds fine.
[He squeezes Kaveh's arm then draws his hand back.]
And it'll give me the opportunity to get used to having it there.
