[ just here, the young man says. kaveh's eyebrows disappear into the blond of his hairline. ]

That is impressive. [ he says, with a grin, ] You must be quick on the uptake, and with a special sort of empathy. [ and kind, too, kaveh thinks - only those who are kind are good at picking up these little things; only those who have kind disposition will take the time to notice, though whether they use their kind dispositions for the sake of kindness is up to them. ] Yes, most individuals find him terribly difficult to get along with, and impossible to understand. Did you know that he's called the Lunatic of the Akademiya? Though I'll bet he has a few new and far less flattering monikers now that he's successfully overthrown an entire government.

That reminds me - what should I call you? [ ... a hesitant beat. kaveh looks. ] I hesitate on 'Hat Guy'. That just seems...

[featheradrift]

[ His eyes narrow. Him, empathetic? Kaveh must be joking. He is the furthest thing from empathetic. And if he knew Kaveh thought of him as kind, he would be angry. ]

I'm merely observant. That's more than you can say for most of the scholars of the Akademiya. The Scribe, a lunatic? Hah. They haven't met a real lunatic if that's how they describe him.

[ Those scholars clearly haven't met him yet. ]

Hat Guy is fine. Lesser Lord Kusanali is the one that chose that name. But if you don't like it, call me whatever you please.

[fussiest]

[ kaveh makes a face. ]

Oh, don't tell me. Lesser Lord Kusanali has the same sense of humour as Cyno.

I wish I could say I was surprised, but...

[ He raises an eyebrow at that. ]

I never took the General Mahamatra to have a sense of humour.

[ Boy, if only the drifter knew. ]

[fussiest]

Ah, that's a joke and a half. Listen here, young man [ kaveh leans in, all red, glinting resignation: ] - the General Mahamatra has too much of a sense of humour. And you'll know when you've witnessed it for yourself!

[ but despite it, perhaps his tone is just a little fond. he can't help it, after all. it's cyno. ]

[featheradrift]

[ There's a sort of long suffering sentiment in Kaveh's words that has both of his eyebrows raising. Clearly, the architect has dealt with Cyno's sense of humour for a long time now, and though he speaks fondly, there's a hint of exasperation that suggests the General Mahamatra's jokes not the greatest.

Interesting. ]

I'm sure I'll get a chance to here.

[ It's not like he has a reason to avoid Cyno, or anyone else here. ]
