[fussiest]

WHO: kaveh (fussiest) & y'all!
WHAT: this is a perpetual catch-all for kaveh because i'm too lazy to make a new one every month. this is for closed starters, tag-ins, visits to kaveh's workshop and the like! be wild! be bold! be free!
WHERE: all around the city, and especially at kaveh's workshop, the pairidaeza architectural design studio in district 1
WHEN: everywhere! everywhen! all at once!
WARNINGS: bickering, probably - everything else will be warned for on a thread-by-thread basis

[ kaveh looks up. tighnari's ears stand to attention, and suddenly kaveh wonders if he ought to be prickling up as well.

that being said - this is tighnari after all. he smiles. ]

Well, I suppose I can ask for help on that end as well, shouldn't I? The doctor here - Doctor Daan, he prescribed something called melatonin to me, though I realised fairly quickly that I was supposed to have known what my regular sleeping patterns were before I started taking it. If you've anything that can help with sleep, Tighnari, I'd be welcome for it.

And I suppose on your part, Cyno - [ kaveh grins, ] you wouldn't want to hit me over the head and help me pass out from that, would you?

[cashewlater]

[ oh. well. yes. ]

Mm. Tighnari is right. And I'm glad to hear you're working on it, but..

[ he frowns, because he knows you, kaveh. ]

In order for the medicine to work, you still have to make the choice to lay down and go to sleep.

[ you have to make the effort to actually fall asleep, not stay up late saying "ten more minutes" on this project, or that one. ]

[ Tighnari heaves a sigh. He's behind Cyno, rubbing at the base of the man's neck. Just for something to do with his hands. ]

Melatonin isn't a bad start, but you have to be careful. The body produces it naturally, so if you rely on it then you can really hurt that process. What I have to offer is something similar.

[fussiest]

[ tighnari rubs the base of cyno's neck. kaveh observes; a smile plays along his lips. ]

I will. If I take it up again, I'll consult with you as well to see what makes best sense for the process, and I'd like to try your remedy as well. I do want to sleep. It simply eludes me at the best of times.

[ ... kaveh leans in. ] Now, how has it been for the two of you together? And I can hardly believe that I had to find out via a bulletin post, of all things.

[cashewlater]

[ cyno relaxes beneath the warm press of tighnari's hand, his eyelids lowering a little, like a dog being scratched behind the ears. kaveh's answer seems convincing enough, so cyno will trust him. he hums softly, and nods.

.. then blushes deeply, his cheeks darkening. ]

Ah, it's been .. [ and then, a soft smile. ] .. perfect.

[wreatharrow]

Good. I'll send you some things that can help. Just make sure you set aside at least six hours for just sleeping.

[ Giving Kaveh a look. Like he MEANS what he says.

His fingers don't leave Cyno though. It's funny to see him get embarrassed. ]

We're sorry, Kaveh. It's not as though we meant to keep it from anyone. More like, I believe we thought it was just. Obvious.

[fussiest]

[ tighnari's hands rest against the back of cyno's neck. cyno melts like kulfi beneath the sun. for a moment, kaveh wonders if he ought to look away, if something so tender and intimate is really meant for kaveh's eyes. slowly, he shakes his head. ]

Well, when you put it that way, and couple it with today - it does seem a bit obvious, doesn't it? [ tighnari and cyno have always been affectionate, after all, but affection has degrees. there's something charming about how open they are. kaveh's heart swells with affection. ] I'm happy for the two of you. I really am. And despite us being trapped in this city, I rather think there's no better time for this sort of thing. Your lives are very busy back in Sumeru; here, the two of you can take your time.

[cashewlater]

[ tighnari's hands are exquisite, and cyno is soon lifting one of his own to rest it over his partner's, his palm and fingers rough and callused. being affectionate with tighnari is easy - it's always been easy, even before they were this. ]

Leave it to you to find the bright spot in a dark sky.

[ cyno chuckles, squeezes tighnari's hand. kaveh's boundless warmth is calming, warming. ]

You make a fair point. [ there's a ding from the kitchenette. ] Oh, the naan.. I'd breader get that.
