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.
[He didn't love it, but honestly, he doesn't seem that broken up about it. In the end, she hurt someone. He's not against criminals getting punished for their actions--he just hates that this situation is totally out of all of their hands.]
It's alright. I think most people understand--it's just that everyone was more on edge. [Understand that she is the way she is, he means...
They're not really things she could answer anyway, I think.
[He hasn't gone to see her, because he feels like the motive is obvious enough. But things like why Hikari ran to the warehouse, why they had to solve a murder but couldn't stop it from happening... those are things Yang Guifei probably doesn't know.]
Nahida won't either. [Firmly, but not forcefully. In fact, he doesn't think anyone here would forget about her--but he knows it's not the same. Their bond is different.]
That isn't my intention, if that's what it sounds like. [she doesn't meet his gaze though, looking out at the mcdonald's.] I'd just like to make sure that she knows.
[He still looks very concerned, but he nods slowly.]
Realistically speaking, you're going to make it much further than I am. [For a lot of reasons, honestly. Normally, he wouldn't be so quick to admit this--he'd have more faith in his own abilities, his drive to do what he must. But in this situation... it's not likely.] But I promise I'll do whatever you need me to. It's never a question.
realistically speaking she also thinks she's going to make it further than him - it's more a logical thing, he has one less team member, she's sure she's stronger than him, all of that, but. emotionally, she doesn't like it.]
... I will do whatever you need me to, as well. [she says, finally.] Please be careful, Kaveh.

...Thanks for your help today.

It's alright. I think most people understand--it's just that everyone was more on edge. [Understand that she is the way she is, he means...
But he sighs.]
I still have so many questions.

You might not get answers. [she tilts her head.] I wouldn't give them in her position.

... You won't forget him. [it's almost a question.]

Oh, Shenhe. [He reaches out, carefully, to cover her hand with his if he can.] Of course I wouldn't.
[He wants so badly to say that nothing will happen to her--but he can't make that promise, and it feels terrible.]
no subject
... Alright. [she says, quietly, shifting her hand to loosely hold onto his. deep breath. slow exhale.] I think Master is the only one who wouldn't.
[...] The Traveler, maybe.
no subject
I didn't know you knew the Traveler.

Do you? [she's curious.] I met her when the Jade Chamber was being rebuilt in Liyue.

[she rubs at her eye, in that sort of don't be tired way.] Another connection we have.

[a beat. and then, a little quietly:] If you make it to the end, please tell her that I enjoyed being her friend.
no subject
Of course I will. But Shenhe--why are you talking like you're sure you won't make it?
no subject
That isn't my intention, if that's what it sounds like. [she doesn't meet his gaze though, looking out at the mcdonald's.] I'd just like to make sure that she knows.
