[When he skimmed over the postings on the manta board and got to the bounties, the first caught his eye almost immediately, keeping him from looking forward. The descriptions on the bounty were too much of a coincidence for him to mistake it for anyone. The only other gold and silver pairing he knows are metals and a song from the red-nose reindeer movie, so...]
Wouldn't have taken you for the seduce-and-swindle type.
[Posts a photo he took of the posting calling for the gays' bounties.]
You hadn't seen the new postings yet? Someone's saying you 'hexed' them to cheat in some card game with Al. I'm not gonna judge how you wanna win, but...
[To be honest, Ranma doesn't actually buy what they're yapping on about. He is going to still cause some embarrassment for the architect, intentional or not.]

[Just. Out of the blue, no preamble.]
ranma why
because he's a dummy

oh ranma
He didn't even want to play, they kept demanding more rounds until I showed up!
[Sorry Ranma Kaveh's too offended they slandered his husband to be embarrassed.]
tbf you should know by now how ranma operates kaveh! :/
HE EXPECTED YOU TO BELIEVE IN HIS INTEGRITY
HE ALWAYS EXPECTS TO BE DISAPPOINTED BY EVERYONE!!!
[Trust me, he means that nicely.]
Are you two alright? Has anyone tried to claim the bounty on you guys?
wow
[He glossed over that part entirely.]
No, nobody has so far...I guess we'll have to get to Astares somehow to find these...reprobates.
no subject
[It's okay Kaveh, he knows the pains of being too hot for your own good.]
If anyone tries coming after you guys or tries tailing you, I can handle them for you.
no subject
[There's a long pause.]
you might have to beat alhaitham to it. I think he's pretty angry.
no subject
[He could go on, but for the sake of Kaveh's dignity, he doesn't.]
Can't say I can blame him. If someone put me up on one of those bounties for no good reason, I'd be pretty miffed too.
[ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha]
If you guys need help though, you know how to
reach me.
no subject
[A long pause.]
So it's not you pranking the Paladins, then?
no subject
[That tracks. This place and the people really aren't so different than Nerima sometimes...
... huh?]
What do you mean by that?
[Did he mean the time he helped Denji deface the paladins with a giant graffiti dick? How could he have figured that out?! They covered their tracks!]
no subject
(1/?)
(2/?)
now it's his turn to accidentally turn on voice
[Sorry about the tinnitus Kaveh.]
no subject
...So it's not you, then.
Now in right spot whoop
Oh what the fuck.]
Obviously! This is complete bull! Whatever happened with the ships and the crews, I didn't have nothin' to do with it!
no subject
Then who has a grudge against you?
[Oh. Huh.
He just believed Ranma that easy, huh?]
no subject
[step on the brakes for a second here.]
You believe me? Just like that?
[No stubbornly standing on that hill unable to see pass it, no brushing off his words as excuses, nothing?]
no subject
You don't protest like this when you're trying to get out of something.
no subject
[Used to anyone having that much good faith in him.]
Nevermind, that's not important. No one's coming to mind at the top of my head of who I could've pissed off that badly to frame me...
[Here anyway. Back home, he'd have an entire catalogue of suspects.]
