He came to greet me once I had awoken on the train, actually! It was most kind of him to do so -- and to bring such a bounty of gifts as well. Ser Alhaitham, has he always been such a sweet boy?
[ such a nestie... you don't get that sort of thoughtfulness from the backstreets. a different kind of thoughtfulness back there, but not like this. ]
In fact, he reminds me muchly of my friend and roommate -- they both have a kindness to them, but it isn't one that diminishes their resolution. What sort of trouble has he gotten himself into? I should like to know more about him, as well as thyself.
[Alhaitham hums, the only sign of agreement he'll make on the matter. True, being kind itself is not the problem, nor is his empathy. Kaveh's problems as an idealist were always his war with himself, and not with the world around him.
He doesn't know either Don's friend or roommate, but the description hits close enough to Kaveh that he believes her. He also believes, with how impassionate Kaveh was in his furious inability to save her, that he bared more of himself than he meant to.]
If we're stuck here long enough, you'll see what I mean. [Because Kaveh is incapable of minding his business.] He often holds other people as more important and then overexerts himself to accommodate them.

He inclines his head in a nod.] Kaveh has always been sensitive to everything around him, especially people. It often gets him in trouble.
["Sweet" is putting it more tenderly than Alhaitham would phrase it, but Kaveh's kind heart is undeniable.]
