[too late]

He can't annoy me any more than he already does, so if I have to stand here and listen to his virtues, then he has to deal with knowing his praises are being sung.

[Kaveh doesn't even hate him or even think any of this is untrue, for the record]

We could talk about yours instead.

[this is a genuine offer]

Talk about my work if you really want to.

[He's been such a stressed out shrinking violet this game for so many reasons, he won't turn away the opportunity to reassert his confidence]

I thought the horsepital was pretty well done, they should build it.

[ mouths "horsepital" ]

The what? [HIS STUPID DRUNK PARTY SHENANIGANS] Oh, right. That was after--

[...

STOPS ABRUPTLY AND AGGRESSIVELY SIPS HIS COFFEE]

Anyway, I was too drunk to remember what my actual plans for that were.

Yeah, but it all still made sense even though you were drunk, you know? That takes a lot of skill.

[he will tactfully not mention anything about the party]

[Yes this is definitely about the party please keep thinking that]

Well, I had better be skilled after how many all-nighters I pulled at the Akademiya.

Your suggestions to Rang's hypothetical design were quite good, Kaveh. [he saw them because everyone in the gy is reading each other's messages] When I begin structural reparations in my homeland, I will be hard-pressed to find architects of your caliber.

[It took him way too long to figure out that it was Rang tbh but he doesn't want to admit that so]

What kind of structural repairs? Maybe I can put together some first-draft blueprints for you to take back. [Agressively talks like everyone is making it home]

[unfortunately rang was generally the best at larping]

Mm... I have not seen all the damage personally, but... there are many places that must be repaired after being ravaged by war. [...] Much of the immediate ones would, however, likely be homes that were burned down.

[Kaveh nods thoughtfully, tapping his chin.]

Alright. I don't have my notes with me right now, but I'll find you later and we can talk about it in more detail.

I would hire you for a new wing of the castle. I think it’s mostly been destroyed …

[GERARD YOUR CASTLE]

If you can describe it to me, I can draft up some sketches. [Just piles work onto himself]

[sleepily - ]

In my opinion, you're the best architect in Sumeru. I want to visit each of the places you've designed and built in person... hehe, maybe I can hire you to make something for me if I don't want to be in the Sanctuary of Surasthana all the time when we get back? Would that be okay?

[ assenting llama noise ]

[sleepily - ]

Hehe. The llama agrees, too.

[reaches out to give llama haru a pat]

[Aww, Nahida (pleading_face)]

Of course I would. We still have to discuss those ideas we had a few weeks ago, too. [Bringing IKEA to the Sumeru desert]

[she nods]

We've got lots of plans to be working on.

[ looking at all this like 'i think kaveh just got hired three times over' ]

[as he should.]

I think your Palace is impressive. Even from a layman's terms where I can't understand all the details and decisions you've made, I can tell it's a clever structural design and you put your whole self into it.

But I also think you can do more, or whatever you want to, if you just go for it.

[ (netzach) let's say nice things about kaveh
everyone: leaping in immediately. ]

[ You also made it this far. You had a lot of people worried. ]

[This is so nice but Shu's thought ruins it a little I'm sorry

But he just sips at his coffee and represses his emotions about it.]

Well, thank you. I intend to, if I can. [Funding...]

[ can't stop people being worried about you, kaveh :knife emoji: ]

Is this something to do with the Akademiya being weird about funding anything not pure science? I would've thought you'd be able to get project grants without too much issue with a resume including the Palace on it.

But... what do I know?

Kaveh can have funding for anything he wants to build from now on. I will personally ensure it.

If anyone else in the Akademiya has a problem with it, they can take it up with me.
