Try it first before deciding if you want to keep it in mind.
[Alhaitham lets Kaveh struggle with cleaning his face for only a bit more before he steps over to help, deftly taking the towel from Kaveh with one hand while the other cups his chin in order to tilt his face up.]
Did you forget there was charcoal on the pages before you decided to place your face against it? [A mostly rhetorical question as he busies himself now with cleaning the mess on Kaveh's face, part of which requires a bit of vigorous rubbing at his cheek.]

It's been long enough since I've had any I will mark even mediocre tandoori--mmph!
[Kaveh can't really keep his train of thought through his face being scrubbed, and though he makes a noise of protest--and sticks his tongue out at the questioning--he doesn't try to pull his face away, either, obediently standing there while being washed.]
It wasn't as though I was deliberately wearing my sketchbook, I got drowsy before I knew it...

[Kaveh's childish display and protest earns him a faint snort.]
You're going to have to clean up any stains you leave on the divan.
[He says that as if Kaveh isn't the one who cleans up the place most of the time anyway... not to mention the fact that they've dirtied the divan before on multiple occasions. Through joint efforts, no less.
Anyway, after a few more hard rubs to get rid of the more stubborn charcoal stains and a wipe around his eyes to get the grit off them Alhaitham is done, and he lets go of Kaveh's face as he steps back to the sink so that he can rinse off the towel.]

I always do, you of all people don't need to nag about it.
[Kaveh hmmphs a little bit, but he'll go sit at the table and inspect the takeout boxes now that he's been thoroughly fussed over.]

[It takes a moment for Alhaitham to emerge from the kitchen after Kaveh, mostly because he's gone on to get them both a glass of water each. He brings that over to the dining table, where Kaveh has already settled and made himself comfortable by inspecting the takeout boxes.]
They're not going to bite. [A dry remark as he places the glasses down going to sit down himself.]

With you I can't be too sure.
[But he's divided up the boxes appropriately! He is doing his part!]
So, anything to make note of besides your peculiar piscine discovery?

[Sure you are, Lyney. Sure you are.]
I've never made a habit of taking what's not mine, especially when it's not offered to me.
[Except if it's Alhaitham's wallet. That's Different.]
Besides...and I mean no offense...but Heizou isn't quite my type, is he?
[Kaveh likes them tall.]

[Thank you for your contributions Kaveh Alhaitham will now help himself to his share of food.]
Nothing much. Finding that cavern was the main highlight of today.
[Its a great find though. Alhaitham is very pleased and Kaveh can probably sense that too.]

You're still riding high off it, I see.
[Kaveh bumps his shoulder against Alhaitham's--he knows there's no point teasing the man, but there's no harm in being a little playful about it, even as he digs into his tandoori.
...as expected, even the mild is a little...he'll just casually take that glass of water, thank you.]

Should I not be? Even Cid was excited about the discovery.
[Not that Alhaitham is in any way ashamed of his own excitement, and he would've been the same even if he wasn't with Cid when they came across that cavern. Though Cid also did tell him to not let Kaveh know about this...
Then again, Alhaitham has never been one to listen to people, even the ones who do have his respect. Not for things like these, anyway.
He spots the way Kaveh is not so subtly taking his glass of water after having tried a mouthful of tandoori, and while he doesn't say anything, the small huff that he lets out most likely is more than enough to express his feelings.]

Hush.
[Kaveh heard that huff. He doesn't deserve this from you!!! He's done nothing wrong!!! He's just drinking this water to finish his chicken, okay!]
I'm not surprised, Cid seems to have about the same horrible taste you do.

[Maybe Kaveh should consider how his inability to handle spice might be the root case of his issues some time. Just saying.]
You say that, but you're the one who chose to work with him.
[What do you have to say for yourself about that, senior??]
You say that, but you're the one who chose to work with him.
[What do you have to say for yourself about that, senior??]
That just says I have excellent taste in collaborators, Alhaitham. Even you can't deny he's brilliant.
[Cid is smart!!! Cid is really smart!!!!]
[Cid is smart!!! Cid is really smart!!!!]
Hmn.
[All Alhaitham does is to let out that hum; while he certainly can't deny what his senior is saying here—Cid has proven himself to have a good head on his shoulders—it certainly is a little at odds with what he'd just said prior about his bad taste. Tastes that are as bad as him, yet still brilliant somehow... it would be nice if Kaveh would stop contradicting himself anytime soon.
Then again, who would Kaveh be, if not for his constant contradictions?]

[After he and him alone totally dropped his convo with Alhaitham, Ranma's just going to slide on over to dad's an architect twink's PM on the network to bitterly complain.]
Your roommate's a jerk.
[This could easily be read in the same tone as a kid telling on someone, and no one would blame you.]

[Glad they both can agree on that.]
He posted a survey on the network asking people about romance and their love life. And after I answered it, he kept avoiding my questions and only told me he's 'trying to understand the idea of love itself' while being dumb at the same time. I decided to stop and didn't see the point in answering him anymore since he wasn't gonna give me a straight answer or just be pedantic.
[Sure Ranma. You're totally the one who dropped it first.]

Oh god, oh my god, what the fuck is he doing, oh my god--
[why is this happening to him. He's never done anything to deserve this in his life.]

I'm sorry, Kaveh cannot respond to messages right now, as he is going to kill his roommate and then run away onto the shell of eltrut on a spiritual pilgrimage until no one remembers this, goodbye.
[So fun fact, Ranma holds his phone up close to his face. He wasn't expecting the sudden switch to video nor the sudden shouting near his ear. Ranma gave out a tiny yelp and nearly dropped his phone too, scrambling to catch it as it bounced out of his hands back into the air, until finally getting a grasp back on it. Rubbing the side of his temple, grousing to himself] Geez, blow out my ear drums, why don't you Kaveh...?
[Before texting back.]
Hey, wait a minute! Don't kill him yet! All I said was he put up a love survey asking people about their love and sex lives! It was a dumb thing to ask publicly, sure, but I wasn't expecting you to get so freaked out about it.

Besides, it's on the network for everyone to see. So even if you do disappear and go off the grid, everyone'll remember it for as long as time exist.

wonderful I'm going to go throw myself off a pier and I'm taking him with me
