[she's quiet, for a moment, staring out to... wherever she is.]
I wish that I could have stayed alive. [just. kind of an absent thought.] Seeing things through is noble and the right thing to do, but I am very tired of being nice.
[she's been on her best behavior and it turns out doing the right thing is exhausting when you're used to doing whatever the hell you want whenever.]
[It's probably a good thing the emotionshare doesn't go both ways, because she deserves better than having to feel the sheer levels of sorrow coming off of him right now.]
I wish you could have too. [Kaveh is the sort to do the good and noble right thing regardless, if he can, and it's likely he would've spent a lot of time trying to be her morality leash--but they'll never know, now, and that doesn't change the fact that he's missed her either way. Even if they all make it back to Teyvat, he's never not going to be upset when he remembers that she was killed.] I miss home.
[poor kaveh this was the wrong game for you please go to therapy
she looks back to him.]
I miss home, too. But - I would have never met you, I think, if it weren't for here. [...] So when we return, I'd like to come to Sumeru. I want to spend time with you and Nahida.
[He really deserved to be in superhell instead but here we are
His expression softens, though.]
Of course, we'd love to see you. Whenever you want, you're welcome to come by. [If Alhaitham can bring random guests over without notice, so can he!!!] I can't imagine Nahida feeling any differently.
[He feels a little bad that she'll have to say goodbye to Nahri, but. It feels mean to mention that even to express sympathy, so he doesn't.]

... Good. I'm glad. I'd like to share a meal with you. [because this is what you do with friends, she has learned.]

He smiles, and starts to reach out to touch her--then falters, dropping his hand when he remembers he can't. Ugh.]
Have you discovered any new foods you like?
no subject
Donuts. [she says, immediately and without hesitation.]

Those pastries from the coffee shops, right? The ones that look like rings?
