    Summary

    Al-Haitham hums, sitting back in his seat. His eyes get that look they always do when he's thinking– at least that had stayed the same– before he put his hands in his pockets.

    “You can stay with me, if you'd like,” he says all too casually as he pulls a hand back out his pocket. “For the time being,” he adds on a little too quickly, “until you manage to get yourself out of the mess you’ve made.”

    Kaveh was about to open his mouth to protest. Like he'd ever take an offer from him, especially with that attitude.

    But then Al-Haitham slides a key across the table to him–golden, with emerald embellishments, a carbon copy of the soulmark on Kaveh's arm– and the words on his lips dissipate into the warm tavern air.

    Summary

    Three hours after Al-Haitham’s grandmother’s funeral, Al-Haitham wipes the sweat off his brow, buys a one-way ticket out of Sumeru, and manages to pack his tiny life into three tidy bags.

    On running, and crashing, and returning.

    Summary

    Kaveh meets Al-Haitham again in Lambad’s Tavern—homeless, moraless, jobless with a dendro vision cinched to his waist to prove it.

    For lack of better words, Al-Haitham is shorter than he remembers.

    “Archons,” he breathes, looking him up and down. “What happened to you?”

    “I should be asking you that question,” Al-Haitham says, dry.

    “No. No, you really shouldn’t,” Kaveh says, shaking his head.

    Al-Haitham snorts.

    Al-Haitham gives Kaveh an ultimatum he is desperate to change.

    Summary

    It is not a curse, though many would say it behaves as one. A curse is something malicious, something ugly. Kaveh chose this. He did it with the recklessness and lack of foresight of a child--but he chose this. It is not a curse.

    It is a blessing. He asked for this.

    Kaveh loves and he suffers for it, more physically than one might expect.
