An architect... [ roland sounds awed for a moment there. he's talked to plenty of people in all walks of life in his City, but-- ] Never really met an architect who knows his way around fashion, honestly. Or in general, for that matter. I've always thought buildings and such just cropped up overnight like plants.
[ whether it's the ramshackle buildings in the backstreets where they keep piling on more floors as the population grew, or the normal-looking ones in the nests and the pristine skyscrapers backed up with billions of ahn from the wings. the stark difference in architecture is just something that roland has found himself idly thinking every now and then, especially now that he's face to face with someone who must know his stuff.
oh wait, before he forgets: ]
And I'm Roland, by the way.
[ whew!
still, this guy sure is a total nestie if he had his own tailor and stuff. people with money really can be anything they wanna be so long as they can afford it, huh. but no, he can't hold his resentment on this guy just because kaveh's dressed a lot fancier than him! especially when kaveh's going out of his way to present to roland a tie that actually suits his monochrome aesthetic. give roland a moment to take it off kaveh's hands to tie it around his neck like so... ]
Hm. [ he faces the nearby mirror, straightens up the tie a bit more. ] Oh, not bad. Really like the floral texture going on here, too. [ he turns to kaveh with a goofy grin. ] See, see? I'm still the same old guy with a fresh coat of the same color of pain. Or something.
