[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.]
Are you enjoying the music?

[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.

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 SO PROUD...
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.

[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.

Of course. I mean, I wouldn't expect anyone outside of the field to understand, really. But expanding my knowledge is vital to furthering my craft.
[WOW... his architect feelings :< But he's used to this, so he will allow the redirect, even if it's a bit disappointing.]
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.

[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?

[He's just sitting on a curb somewhere stress-drinking a latte
That's it that's the prompt]

If Liyue did have anything like that, I wouldn't have heard of it. I've only recently returned to the mortal world.
[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.

[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.

[I can't believe Shenhe's going to do a murder and we'll have to cover for her
As she approaches, though, Kaveh straightens up, trying to school his features into something more put-together. He tries for a smile, but it's small.]
Yes, I'm fine. [He does actually seem calmer than before, if a bit more wrung out.] What about you?

[He opens his mouth as if to say "I'm not lying" but then he thinks about her wielding a stop sign like a weapon and just. Decides to gloss over that completely.]
It did get somewhat chaotic for a little while... though I suppose that's not surprising, with those three appearing and all.

[IF ONLY.
But his expression shifts to something more complicated, then. Troubled.]
...I think we may not have a choice besides believing them.
[Believing that they'll need to participate in this, if they want to get home. ...That only some of them can.]

[Kaveh nods.]
Yes--Nahida and I are looking for our last member now. [3/4... truly tragic that we can't have our genshins together, alas.] What about you?
