[good morning kaveh, shenhe is out in the world! you might miss her normally, because she's pretty good at staying hidden, but the music that is playing from the tree that she's set up in is pretty attention grabbing. at the moment it's this just blaring from the top of a small tree.
you might be able to see her foot swaying back and forth absently from the bottom of the branches.]
[It is pretty attention-grabbing; in fact, Kaveh almost thinks an orchestra has set up nearby, which is what draws him over in the first place. He's surprised to find that it's just Shenhe, tucked away like this, but it's not a bad surprise. He smiles and approaches, doing his best to make his approach obvious, since he remembers her wariness from yesterday.]
[Kaveh is... in the park! Hangin' out in his new fit. Mehrak has a projection up--Kaveh's drawing more lines on it. Wow. Amazing. I definitely know how AutoCAD works.
He looks up as she approaches, but before he can speak she is... handing him a packet. Hm.]
[By this point, Kaveh's figured out that Hikari seems to be the only person dead (or harmed in general?? Looks at inves. Looks at Francy). This means Shenhe gets Sad Kaveh, who is probably curled up in a Mcdonald's booth with a coffee sitting by him, even though it's untouched. Mehrak sits next to the booth, but it's off. He glances over as she enters, and it's only because it's her that he starts to uncurl a little, even though his shoulders are still heavy with misery.]
[god i hope we missed yang's body somewhere that'd be so funny
anyway, shenhe wanders in, takes a look at him, and then goes up to the front counter. she orders a water! and she brings it to him, pushing it into his hands.]
Anyway, Kaveh is! Here. Catching murderers of his teammates. Kind of. I totally figured it out at 9:02am and just didn't say anything (no)
He left Mcdonald's pretty quickly once things were over; he's out at the park, now, sitting on one of the swings and looking up at the sky. He seems fine; tired, mostly, for real this time. He nods at her when she approaches, though.]
to be fair kaveh did catch the murderer so good for him! except not good, because shenhe figures that he didn't exactly like that. she will sit on a swing next to him now that she's not vibrating out of her skin.]
I'm afraid I was more aggressive than I meant to be. [her inclination is violence, the easiest way forward, so...] But you're welcome. Thank you for your work, as well.
[looks at the monday thread that i abandoned and sweats
shenhe sits next to wherever kaveh ended up with a sort of anxious jittering. she's just staring at him, which is probably uncomfortable, but. she's here. she's still thinking about the cave.]
[LMFSDKGJHK it's fine me also just abruptly ending my thread with aki this week like FREE US BOTH
Anyway this is good because as soon as everything catches up to him and he's healed enough to like. Walk and stuff. He immediately comes to check on her]
[Okay, well--he probably tore off after Buzen right away, but. Eventually he will come find her and just kind of come and lean on her sadly. He hates this.]
[the thing is she can't even find it in her to be angry, which is wild. she lets him lean, but she's stiff and tense, and very, very focused on breathing evenly.]
... I should have stayed asleep. [she says after a long moment.]
[PLEASE TAKE HER SHOPPING YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE OBI-WON KAVEHBI
we are in the mall, and shenhe is staring up at the smexy salon. there's an avon person trying to talk to her and she is ignoring them so fiercely. if kaveh gets close he can probably feel a muted sense of violence rising.]
By which I mean he's already dolled up! He's in his new outfit with his hair pinned up in a bun and his nails painted, one of them painted with a flower design rather than feathers. He's also sensing that Violence, and while he's normally been trying to keep his distance so as to spare people his horrible Emotions, he can't just not intervene.
So it's a toss-up as to whether Shenhe hears him coming or feels his feelings first--either way, as he approaches, she'll pick up on a whole boatload of negativity. Exhaustion, sorrow, faint anxiety--and more than anything, an old, deep, ever-present guilt. It doesn't match his tone as he calls out to her, just like he would any other day.]
Shenhe! There you are--have you had a chance to look around yet?
the vibe is just... sad, today, sad and horrifyingly worried. someone's red ropes are maybe not working very well. she will come over to stand or sit by him, though, with a water bottle in hand.]
[Kaveh also has a bottle, but it does not have water in it.
He's glad for her presence, though, even though his emotions barely reflect it. She can come sit by him; he leans against her arm with only a little hesitation, which is either alcohol or character development.]
Well, shortly after trial, Kaveh will come to find her. He's taken Mehrak back to his warehouse, but after that, he will seek her out to check on her.]
[he can find her out in the park! the outer one. she's not hiding, and she's not being subtle - he'll see her setting a tree on fire like it owes her money.
she ignores him for a second because she's so mad fuck this tree in particular]
[Shenhe truly does not deserve this SHENHE YOUR FEELINGS!!!!!! Unfortunately Kaveh has not left this hell room. He's just here on his hands and knees, his fists digging into the ground, feeling like ground zero of a nuclear explosion. THINGS ARE NOT OKAY.]
it's alright her emotions are currently broken as fuck because she just watched two people she really cares about die and I'm not sure that's ever happened to her before so. we are all doing great.
the nice thing is because she is broken like this, it means it's easier for her to come to him. so she does, crouching, and then gently kneeling next to him, resting a hand on his back.]
Kaveh. [she wants to help.] ... Scream, if you need to.
[He was respectfully waiting for her to have time with Nahri before he messaged tbh but as soon as she messages him he will immediately try and concentration-summon her!!! GIB BIRD]
Kaveh would be celebrating, except the way all of this happened is kind of devastating to him still, so he doesn't linger as long as you'd think. He isn't too hard to find, though; he's at the lake in the park, looking out over the water with his hands in his pockets.
At her approach, though, he looks over and softens into a smile.]
i'm so sorry to kaveh but shenhe just really does not care that they had to kill a teenager sadly to get to where they are. she's trying not to be a butt about it, at least, but she is very much in good spirits.
she comes to stand next to him, and holds out a hand to him.]
Almost home. [she agrees.] ... I am bringing Nahri with me.
