[she actually appreciates that he isn't sneaky - her demeanor is much more relaxed this way, by the time he reaches her. now that he's closer, he can see a paper bowl in her hands that is full of various flowers.]
I am. [and normally she'd just leave it there, but - she is trying to do the whole human conversation thing, so...] It is similar to music I've heard, but slightly different.
Libby Rhodes was kind enough to show me how to access it.
That's kind of her. [He hasn't met Libby yet, but he appreciates the gesture in the sense that he always likes to hear about people helping each other.] I've always been fond of music, myself. This is quite different from Sumeru's music as well--it's close to something you'd hear in Mondstadt or Fontaine, don't you think?
I've only been to Mondstadt once, but... yes. It does. [a pause, and then she shifts so that she can climb down the tree instead of jumping down. she has learned her lesson.] I went there to spend time with my... friend, but it wasn't for long. I would like to return someday.
[HE'S PROUD!!! THE REASONING DOESN'T MATTER AS LONG AS HER ANKLES STAY UNCRUNCHED]
Oh--I'm an architect, so I'm interested in different buildings around the world. I worked on a lighthouse in Sumeru, for example--of course, windmills serve a completely different function, but I'd be interested in studying their aesthetic styles and building techniques.
[SWEET KAVEH his only problem was trying to talk about buildings to a bird]
As have I. Those from Oregon and Colorado and The West Coast all seem to know a great deal more about the customs. [she shifts her weight to her other foot.] The phone is difficult.
[It's fine... no one cares about windowframes like he does...]
Ah--that's right, Liyue never had anything like the Akasha System. Though, that was quite different from this anyway. [Kaveh's a cheating STEM major so it hasn't been that hard for him, but he gets why she'd be having trouble. He smiles gently.] Would you like some help with it?
[This would be more weird and startling if he wasn't close with Faruzan tbh. He still seems a little surprised, but he accepts it fairly easily and politely doesn't ask questions.
Instead, he gestures.]
Alright, let's find somewhere to sit and I'll show you what I've figured out so far. Granted, some of the others here seem much more familiar with these devices, so they're probably better teachers. But I think I understand some of the basic functions.

Kaveh nods as she talks, keeping an eye on her to make sure she gets down safely.]
I've never been, though I've always wanted to go and see their windmills. A few of my close friends went recently for a holiday, though.

What is noteworthy about the windmills? [to her credit she sounds genuinely curious.]

Is that really that interesting? [buildings are buildings. this is heresy.]

What else have you experienced while you have been here? It is much different than Teyvat.
no subject
It is. The foods are very different. Though, I've met a few people here who seem more familiar with this sort of place than we are.

[just busts out some buckwild shit before glancing at him at his offer. she doesn't smile, but she does ease a little.]
... I would like that. Yes. I'd hate to fall behind because of ignorance.
