The phone has been a point of interest for Alhaitham, but one that takes a backburner compared to turning over the rest of the city. It reminds him of the Akasha terminal and, like the Akasha, it won't give him the most important answers: the ones he's not supposed to have.
So Kaveh is successful in catching his attention immediately as it starts beeping at him, and he checsk the device out of curiosity to find--oh.
Of course.]
There's nothing to say, since I have done nothing that requires explaining myself to you.
Do you think you'd be able to find me if I did tell you?
[ with the kind of implied eyeroll in the response that suggests what shouldn't have been taken as a challenge is, indeed, being taken as a challenge, and being taken kicking and screaming, even. ]
I've only been around since sun-up and I'm no city planner, but a city, even one as monochrome and cobwebbed as this one, is built with the natural flow of life in mind. Each section of the city follows its own rhythm, and it's really no larger than Sumeru City is. Name a place and I will find you within the hour. That is, if you aren't actively plunging the depths of some secret hovel you've managed to unearth, and you aren't trying to obfuscate. Well?
[There haven't been any visible threats in the City (so far) but it is a relief to know Kaveh must be just fine if he's able to take offense to Alhaitham's question and then send him a paragraph of justification about it.
If he wasn't sure, Alhaitham would come find him. The only reason he didn't is because both of them running around trying to find the other is just going to make the whole thing more difficult. But this is more interesting.]
Apartments. One hour, starting now.
[He's not completely heartless: he'll at least wait in the lobby with a book and not make Kaveh guess out of dozen's of identical doors which one is his now.]
hmmm is it Cyno
