But there's just not much point to staying angry, not at him, and not at you.
[If this makes it sound like Kaveh does not hold grudges, that is a lie, Freminet, he is the second pettiest man in Sumeru. He just doesn't hold grudges about things like this, apparently.]
[What was he supposed to do? He thought he was lucky that the traveler was still willing to work with them after all this time. To know that Kaveh forgave them too? He didn't know what to think.
As he continued to pet the cat, he just....suddenly couldn't handle it anymore. In that moment, he found himself crying the tears started flowing down his cheeks. Sniffling to himself, he wanted to stop but he couldn't. This was just so much to take in.]
[It really wasn't fair. How could Kaveh forgive them when all they have done was hide information from him. He didn't even notice the hug at first as he was too busy wiping his tears away. It wasn't until moments later that he realized.]
Is that so? Well, you can ask me anytime you want one.
[Kaveh fucking loves hugs, Freminet.]
I know it's scary. And I know...I can't speak for how Alhaitham or Dehya or anyone else will feel about it. But we all have the same wish...and I think, with time, they'll appreciate how brave you've been, to tell us the truth.
[It was such an odd feeling. Kaveh wasn't a stranger but to anyone outside of the Hearth, it felt like it. And yet, he didn't ask him to let go as he slowly calmed down.]
We never intended to harm anyone by keeping this a secret. The House of the Hearth is mostly for gathering information but...
[There was something he wanted to tell Kaveh but, he held back. As he wanted to say something, he shook his head and decided to go with something else.]

...You are much too kind. Even if you're still angry, I can't believe you still forgave us.
[And yet, as he said those words, he found tears forming at the corner of his eyes.]

[Will he take a very soft kitty crawling into his lap? Will that help?]

Kaveh doesn't know what to say, so he doesn't.]

S-Sorry, I didn't mean to get your shirt wet...

[He chuckles, softly.] I can let go, if you don't want it.

[He said with a sniffle or two.]
...It's just a little odd. No one really has hugged me outside of Lyney or Lynette.
