[With a thunk, a hefty hard-bound tome entitled The Idiot's Guide To Fae Negotiation (third edition) lands on one of the corners of the folding table — so, considering folding tables, maybe it's not so much of a thunk as a thwump, but at least she does it at a time when he's not actively doing calligraphy, because that would just be mean.]

Here.

[He would have forced Kaveh and Ghost both to accept the ruined sign if she had. Still, there is the slight frown when the ink vibrates as Alhaitham watches to ensure it doesn't knock over.

He sets the pen down and leans over to the backpack sitting under the table, pulling out the other book. He hadn't expected the exchange so much as just giving it back to Ghost because he didn't actually want to keep it indefinitely.

So: he offers it to her.] Your book.

[badfeyth]

Thanks.

[It's an easy, businesslike trade, with all the finesse of undercover spies making a dead drop in a charming French cafe. And really, that should be the end of it; she could just put her book away and leave the other and get back to all the four thousand other things she's supposed to be doing, and Alhaitham could get back to calligraphy, and that would be that.

Except she doesn't.]

...This is going to be a lot of work.

[She means the venue. Probably.]

[justscribing]

[Alhaitham does still go back to calligraphy. He can multitask.] Did you expect event planning to be otherwise?

[badfeyth]

[She is not going to grind her teeth into dust because if she does that Kaveh is going to see she has no more teeth and make her a bite guard, or dentures, or a muzzle. She is not going to do that. She is not.]

I'm aware of what goes into event planning.

[SHE'S NOT GOING TO ROLL HER EYES OUT OF HER HEAD EITHER BECAUSE THEN KAVEH WILL INSTALL HER SOME NEW ROBOT EYEBALLS OR SOME SHIT. FUCK.]

What I was getting at was, I hope the end result turns out to be a success befitting the work expended.

[justscribing]

[It's fine, his back is to Ghost, she can roll her eyes all she wants.] That depends entirely on your own expectations, doesn't it? What are you intending to get out of this?

[badfeyth]

Heh. There's an official answer and a confidential answer.

[She shrugs, not that he can see that either, but it's there in her tone, too.]

Mostly it's a showcase. The sunlight-replication technology, put on exhibition for the whole city.

[justscribing]

If all you want is to show off, it seems you have plenty of interested people. If you want to sell it, then this is a big unveiling for something you don't know will catch on.

[Like, that's very Kaveh and in all honestly Kaveh will just be satisfied being allowed to build things and stick a proverbial middle finger at their captors. But he's not the only one responsible in this.]

[badfeyth]

It'd be pointless to sell it in an environment where currency doesn't exist, anyway. Wouldn't it?

[But regardless.]

But I suppose overall I don't really need interest. I just need the story of it, for my purposes.

[justscribing]

Only if money is what you intended to get out the exchange. [But he knows about what's behind this project: the accommodations for the supernatural. A chance for them to fit in with privacy. Selling, then, is getting enough people to want to buy in on it.]

And if there wasn't interest in the story because there wasn't interest in the event, would that still be worth it?
