[It's fine he's used to this.

And besides, there's nothing he understands more than that. Giving for the sake of it, even if Kaveh never truly accepted the reality of it.]

Then the best thing you can do is to be assured in how far you would go for him and simply do it. And expect that he's going to be frustrating about accepting it, but Kaveh is like most people in that even he wants to be loved and understood. He just doesn't want to show you the worst of him. That's nothing to do with you specifically. He contains himself for most people.

[Which maybe he shouldn't be just telling Netzach but he feels like it's obvious Kaveh is trying too be on his best behavior for Netzach. This is probably only obvious to him because he gets Kaveh's worst behavior on the daily.]

i can kind of get it. he's seen how i was at my worst, he's gotta know i wouldn't judge him or anything...

but opening up like that... it's always hard.

[justscribing]

It is. Kaveh can love very easily, but trusting someone is much harder. It's less his expectations of you and more his expectations of himself.

[abstractart]

he's way too hard on himself... it's about as hard to get him to sit down and stop working for five minutes as it is for midnight

well or it was anyway, they're both better about it now

[justscribing]

Well, that isn't completely from his low self-esteem. He's also just a busybody.

Unfortunately for him, wishful thinking isn't going to reduce his need for sleep. He has been getting more rest, though, partly because of you.

It would be convenient if he'd simply abide by my schedule with the occasional early morning.

[abstractart]

convenient, sure, but he doesn't seem like the type to abide by anyone else's schedule for anything

for now i'm just satisfied with getting him to nap

[justscribing]

He doesn't abide by any schedule at all. Nobody needs to be awake at 3 A.M. to build a scale model of a house.

[abstractart]

was he doing that last night?

[justscribing]

No but he's done it too many nights since he moved in back in Sumeru. It's only because he doesn't have so many projects that require it in this city that I can sleep without wearing my earpieces.

[Yeah he will be annoyed and complain. No he won't tell Kaveh to stop he'll just wear his headphones to bed.]

[abstractart]

oh, is that what those are for

he'll probably find more projects, but at least it's a break for you both for now

[justscribing]

Yes, I use them to block noise and play music from an attached device. I think I've seen them called headphones around this place.

He's actually at his workshop with Hat Guy right now for planning to finally build a forge.

[The Forge, an issue he's mostly complained to Alhaitham about but that Netzach has almost certainly had to overhear a time or two since becoming his assistant. There's a lot of projects backlogged until he could make custom metal pieces.]

[abstractart]

i guess it's not surprising you'd have noise canceling

yeah, he mentioned that... they're finally ready?

don't think i'll be much help with it, but it'll be good to have the capacity

[justscribing]

That's right. Hat Guy is knowledgeable in forging and he's offered to assist with it. Kaveh has picked up a little bit of many different crafts but he's no blacksmith, so you'll both be learning something about using it.

[Even if Netzach is only learning from watching.]

[abstractart]

from what i know about it, it's a lot of effort....
